After a hazing tragedy in 2021, VCU is dilligant in publishing all policy infractions, suspensions, and expulsions of their organizations. In the Spring of 2023, a sorority was removed from campus without a trace—and an explanation from the school is yet to be published. It’s as if they never existed. So what happened, and why can’t we know about it?

VCU is a playground for creativity. It’s even widely known that VCU has a nationally ranked sculpture program, and yet there is a severe lack of decoration on campus. One would expect the campus to show more of its sculptural prowess, but there are only three sculptures display... and I want to know why.

In this episode I speak with Kendall Buster, the graduate director of the VCU department of sculpture and extended media, about the possible reasons why VCU hasn’t put up more sculptures on campus, and viable options for installing more art on campus.

How do police investigate these matters? What is the punishment for making false reports? These questions and more will be answered in this episode!

But how much is the food worth, anyways? What are you really spending? In this episode of VCU's Got Issues, student journalist Cruz Walden takes a look at how the student experience shapes dining, and if the price is really right!

We also speak with a peer recovery specialist about her personal experience with drugs and why students might feel the need to take substances.
