It’s impossible, however, to paint the multicultural tapestry that makes up USC with one broad brush stroke. The country club atmosphere that has infested the athletic department isn’t indicative of the faculty and student body I interact with regularly outside of Heritage Hall. Of course, that wasn’t going to stop the texts and tweets from lighting up my phone Tuesday.
He earned his way into his dream school, onto the football team as a long snapper and in May will earn his degree. At the end of my first class every semester, I tell my students they can ask me anything they want and I promise I will answer them honestly. I usually get the same questions every year. Who’s the best and worst athlete you’ve ever covered? What’s Kobe Bryant like? Are the Lakers ever going to make the playoffs again? But I got a new one from Nathan Desai, a senior majoring in journalism, this semester.
“I do it because I love this university,” I told him. “This is a special place. I cherish the memories I had here as a student and I hope to pass that on to you.”The Lakers record on March 14, 2018, was 31-36. The Lakers record one year later with LeBron James is 31-36.
ArashMarkazi In other news, the USC annual report reveals that only ~1/2 of total tuition is actually collected, the other half dedicated to grants & scholarships for those whose families can’t afford the ride and, regrettably, apparently for some who can. They’ll work thru this dark time.
ArashMarkazi You know the nickname for USC right? University of Spoiled Caucasians 🤣
ArashMarkazi Arash: Only spent 3 yrs on faculty, but 25 years later, more than one former student has become a lifelong friend. SC has a culture of loyalty to the school & to classmates. Didn’t attend myself, but I’m sure glad I got to visit. USC
ArashMarkazi What all this shows: It's the morally rotten white upper class which is tearing the US society down with all their billionaires, bribers and evangelical bootleggers. The realDonaldTrump mobster family is only the tip of the iceberg.
ArashMarkazi USC needs to hire a permanent president ASAP and then that president needs to clean house. Ask for the resignation of all senior administrators, and make them all reapply. That way everyone has to justify their existence and allow the new president to bring in a new regime.
ArashMarkazi Not really
ArashMarkazi SC is a deeply rooted insular culture of dishonest, unethical conduct. Their first reaction to every scandal is cover up.
ArashMarkazi Yikes! Don’t read the replies to this Arash! Oh, too late.
ArashMarkazi Corrupt individuals? Please check their party affiliation. Do not be surprised if all of them are TheDemocRats!
ArashMarkazi I think they should be nominated for the death penalty
ArashMarkazi Multiple usc coaches were part of a large scale racketeering scheme over an extended period of time. Say that ten times. It is shameful. usc varsityblues
ArashMarkazi USC has a huge scandal or murder every semester now smh
ArashMarkazi They are many many many corrupt individuals over a long long period of time. Forever even. Some even leave to coach in the nfl in Seattle.
ArashMarkazi USC is more than a handful of corrupt individuals, it’s an entirely corrupt institution, rotten all the way into the foundations. gobruins
ArashMarkazi are there many more than a 'handful?'

In wake of admissions scandal, USC needs to fire athletic director Lynn SwannColumn: In the wake of news that his program endorsed the admittance of fake athletes, it’s time for USC to retire Lynn Swann and find a real athletic director, writes BillPlaschke. BillPlaschke haven't read the article, but not grounds to force AD out. BillPlaschke So he’s supposed to review every recruit and their application I understood it starts at the top but stop calling for people’s job when it’s been going on for years (before Swann). BillPlaschke Hey Bill before you retire someone let's have some proof that Lynn Swan actually did something. What USC does on the field and a cheating scandal are actually two different things.

USC student was with friends when robbers demanded money and killed him, police sayVictor McElhaney, who was studying at USC’s Thornton School of Music, was fatally shot at the corner of Maple Avenue and Adams Boulevard shortly after midnight. It all is based upon reaction. As I walked home from the bus stop to my apartment, a thug (I expected it, in the semi-rough neighborhood I’m in) came up to my ear and said F—- Y—. I just kind of looked his way, without staring at him and kept on walking. The area needs a vigalente: police can't handle it. The very same way Pres Dutarte fixes drugs in the Phillipines: just nutarilize the problem privately. Sad when anyone loses their life so senselessly. Politicians shouldn’t be soft on crime, because criminals don’t differentiate between privileged and not. This “New Chapter” isn’t the right direction.

Slain USC student was a gun control advocate who believed music could ‘heal the world’Before he was killed by a gunman on Sunday, USC music student VIctor McElhaney made his mark as a 21-year-old mentor to young performers and as an advocate for black lives, women and gun control. How much Rap music did he listen to ? I feel like we all got ripped off with his silencing ..we wont know his furure contribution.. .I look at this loss by assuming that some advanced time and space needed his skills and made him an offer he couldnt refuse. Keeping the beat alive.
