Can he really say that? In this series of investigative pieces, The Aggie investigates how the COVID-19 crisis has affected individual lives in our community. The following letter was posted via Chancellor May’s UC Davis page, then abruptly deleted from all records. Here at The Aggie, we obtained the letter from an unnamed source. Here […]

What were we thinking? Now that we are seven horrid months into the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s time to revisit one of the strangest occurrences that happened at the outset of this saga. It’s an event that has been overshadowed by all the other evidence that we are in a sadistically-run Sims game. It’s time to […]

A PSA to UC Students from the Davis community Three months ago, the UC community on Reddit was sent into a frenzy when a UC Berkeley student requested all UC schools not refer to their school using its initials, “UCB,” as it cheapens the incredible prestige associated with Berkeley.

This is not a humor article! Well, Election Day is almost here.

They’re not much better, but hey, why not? Last month a judge ruled that UC must suspend SAT and ACT scores in admissions and scholarship decisions.

The moderator was incredibly good and there was actually some substantive debate, but the candidates repeated certain phrases and sentence structures WAY TOO MANY TIMES Trump: If you look at what’s happening we have amazing testing that gives us more cases. 47 years, he’s been there 47 years and he hasn’t done anything! Why didn’t […]

“I’ve just been doing all this stuff, and I haven’t gotten sick” In this series of investigative pieces, The California Aggie investigates how the COVID-19 crisis has affected the lives of individuals in our community. “Tell it to me one more time,” I say, clicking my recorder on. “Alright.
