The Executive Director of Stetson’s Institute for Water and Environmental Resilience, Clay Henderson, wrote a piece in The West Volusia Beacon, stating Gemini Springs is being polluted by people, not cows. Henderson wrote, “Everyone wants to be a leader in something, but why we want to be a leader in septic tanks is elusive to me. All of our major surface waters in Volusia, including our springs, St. Johns River and Indian River Lagoon, are now deemed impaired under the Clean Water Act.”
Law Professor Peter Lake co-authored the May 16 Inside Higher Ed article, “Overreacting to College Student Suicide? Promoting reasonable expectations for suicide prevention will help everyone.” The article stated, “Keeping suicidal students safe and well is difficult work and requires something other than pressure to attain an unrealistic goal of zero suicides. Instead, prevention campaigns should focus on counteracting stigma and encouraging students to seek help.” Lake is also quoted in the May 14 GW Hatchet article, “Officials avoid dipping into waitlist for first time in at least nine years.”
