Xavier Newswire

In the longest ever episode of Newswire Live, you’ll get to hear breaking news coverage from the weekend on acts of vandalism on campus, which were later named a bias incident by Xavier University’s Bias Action Response Team (BART). Newswire reporters, who were some of the first students that reported the acts of vandalism to XUPD and the university administration, will give a firsthand account of the incidents and the university’s response. Then, our hosts David Ludwig and Erin Albright were joined by three black student leaders on Xavier’s campus, Sierra Stennis, Andrew Michael, and Cameron Lakes, to discuss the incident and actions the university should take in response.

After that coverage, Newswire Managing Editor Alex Budzynski will bring you an update on the introductory press conference of Xavier’s new president, Dr. Colleen Hanycz.

Finally, we'll top off the first episode of the spring semester with Chloe's Campus Catch-Up and some Hot Takes.

The Newswire Live theme music (played during the introduction, transitions, and closing) was produced by Xavier's own Carolyn Youngquist, a senior music education major. The intermission in this episode is "Inspiration" by Rafael Krux.
