The depths of those wounds, the urgency of the mental health crisis, the constant and present need for public safety on a college campus and the diversity of student experience necessitate that UConn is visionary throughout its process of addressing these causes. We’re hopeful. Rhynhart’s effective bifurcation of the roles of police chief and AVP of Public Safety could be a monumental step in this process. The conflation of public safety with policing as reflected in the joint appointment of these two roles no longer stands in the way as tradition. The door is wide open for UConn to consider public safety in a less police-centric and broader, community-oriented sense that is mentally, eco- logically and even economically healthier for the members of that community. UConn can choose to walk through that door in its stances, decisions and proceedings while finding a replacement for Rhynhart. Otherwise, Rhynhart’s resignation will only be an organizational formality. We still have States that have joined the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact yet to see.

@dailycampuslife ‘Men on Boats:’ A virtual socially-distanced live stage performance over Zoom by Evan Burns CAMPUS CORRESPONDENT [email protected] If other organizations at the University of Connecti- cut have balked at the pros- pect of adapting their events to continue on in a pandemic environment, the Connecti- cut Repertory Theatre (CRT) has come out the door swing- ing with their first show of the 2021-21 season, “Men on Boats.” The question then becomes whether or not the approach they took was a success and what that means for stage performances moving forward. “Men on Boats” adapts the true story of John Wes- ley Powell’s 1869 expedition down the Colorado River and Grand Canyon (then just known as the “Big Canyon”). During their arduous journey, Powell and his company of nine face deadly obstacles and fierce internal struggles that threaten to tear the group apart.
