UW Professor Employs Religious Guilt to Combat Cheating

December 09, 2025 by Mady B.

With finals looming over the horizon, the professors of the University of Washington have once again begun their Sisyphian task of reiterating their anti-cheating policies despite knowing full well that the only student paying attention wasn’t going to cheat anyway. Math classes hardly need to worry about cheating, as there’s barely even time to solve the problems— let alone look them up– but with the breadth of subjects offered at the UW, it really is every professor for him/her/theirself.

November 26, 2025 by V.B.

In a groundbreaking initiative, the NCAA Board of Governors recently announced that student-athlete eligibility will be extended to allow middle-aged men who are still “young at heart” to continue to peak in college. To do so, the NCAA is expanding college football rosters both physically and aged-ly, as the age cap for athlete eligibility will be extended from a maximum ‘5th year’ to ‘28th year’ student-athletes.

The Rapture Did Happen - But Only One Person Made it

November 13, 2025 by C.T.

This September, social media was abuzz with news of the rapture: the event signaling the return of Jesus and the ascension of true believers into heaven. For most, September 23rd came and went without any trumpets, ascended souls, or bearded men on white horses. While many took this as a sign that the rapture, in fact, did not occur at the predestined date, this was a misconception. Off Leash writer Gary King, who died last Monday due to a razor blade in a Snickers bar, went to heaven and secured an exclusive interview with the only person to be raptured. This not only surprised Christians around the world, but Off Leash members who were sure he was at most ending up in purgatory.

Concerning: Homeless Man on the Ave Clearly has a Poli-sci Degree

November 11, 2025 by C.T.

Nestled between blankets on the Ave, a living, breathing, and occasionally ranting emblem of the modern job market can be found. Local homeless man “Poli-Sci Pete” is 47 years old, unemployed, alcoholic–and a graduate of the University of Washington's political science Ph.D program. Poli-Sci Pete, who quickly became a campus celebrity following his discovery, has not been met with enthusiasm by all members of the student body.

UW Finds Exciting New Uses for Prison Labor

November 04, 2025 by Shady A.

Like many universities across the country, The University of Washington has used prison labor to construct its dorm room furniture for years. Historically the university has faced pushback for this, with critics referring to the practice as “legalized modern-day slavery,” “a prime example of the rot at the core of late stage capitalism,” and “bad.” Despite these objections, The University of Washington has shown no signs of stopping—in fact, recently leaked internal documents suggest that the UW plans to use prison labor in a variety of new and exciting ways.

UW Administration Says Mysterious Obelisk in Quad “Probably No Big Deal”

October 31, 2025 by Shady A.

Students at the University of Washington were surprised when they arrived on campus this Halloween and discovered that a towering black obelisk had appeared in the Quad seemingly overnight. While the obelisk was initially suspected to be some sort of extremely elaborate Halloween installation, confusion quickly turned to fear after a group of students touched the obelisk and were transmogrified into a variety of non-human entities, such as a swarm of bats, a bipedal fish creature, and a sad-seeming raincloud.

New UW President Robert J. Jones Pledges to Mail Predecessor Pipe Bomb

October 21, 2025 by Mady B.

As of the beginning of the 2025 school year, Robert J. Jones officially took over as University President and finally replaced Ana Marie Cauce. This change was quite anticipated, as the University of Washington has announced and advertised and manifested Jones’ acceptance of the position for over a year now. Some students were concerned that she might’ve never let go of her cushy position and obscene mini-mansion, but those concerns have been put to rest following her live-streamed eviction, where the UWPD discovered her camping in Paccar hall after a student reported hearing “off-putting sneezing.” She has since been expelled from campus for good.

Cure for Autism Leaves UW Engineering Department in Chaos

October 07, 2025 by Anna V.

Last Monday, the tape worm roosting inside RFK Jr’s skull made a startling announcement. The cure for autism had been found: a reduced form of Vitamin B9, known as ‘Leucovorin’. While the actual evidence linking it to autism is sparing, it just so happens to be a favorite food of the tape worms which RFK Jr. is definitely not putting into public water systems.

Increasing Rates of Unique, Quirky, and Generally Esoteric Individuals Takes the UW by Storm

October 02, 2025 by A.S.

With a campus boasting over 50,000 students, professors, researchers, and fentanyl users, the University of Washington is easily one of the most diverse campuses in the United States. With this diversity comes a great deal of benefits, such as the free exchange of academic and social ideas on campus and the readily-available variety of skillsets that have been integral to our research and university development, but it also comes with drawbacks: namely, the ethnic food they serve at Center Table, white people claiming to be 4.6% French/8.5% Northern Italian/3.3% Irish/83.6% WASP, and the ever-increasing pandemic of individuality complexes sweeping across the wannabe liberal elites of Seattle: university students.

April 23, 2025 by Shady A.

Have you ever been unable to get out of bed in the morning due to the crushing weight of existence? Does nothing truly make you happy anymore?

Opinion: Tyler Lockett is My Luka Doncic

March 14, 2025 by C.H.

Last week, news broke of the Seattle Seahawks releasing Tyler Lockett into free agency. Millions of tissue boxes were emptied in every Seattle household that day. It’s an issue for our eco-forward marketing as a city. More notably, though, we are losing an icon from the days of the Legion of Boom (trademarked) who still posts incredible statistics despite his…er, experienced age. Who else can pull together 7 touchdowns after having surgery for 12 pins in his hand? Who shall honorably and graciously carry the team in the locker room now? Who will balance out Metca—turns out we lost the right to type out his full name since his selfish ass decided to declare his will for the streets on the same day as Lockett’s announcement. Metca---, if you’re reading this, please come home. The kids miss you.

March 11, 2025 by J.Z.

The avian flu (or bird flu as it is more commonly known) has been rapidly spreading in the United States, causing a nationwide shortage of America’s favorite quick breakfast. Egg prices have been on the rise as a result, drying out the pockets of college students in the U-District.

“Thirst Traps” Combat Rising Sea Levels and Herpes

February 20, 2025 by B.H.

From Al Gore to Bill Nye, scientists have been concerned by rising sea levels for decades. Since 1880, ocean levels have risen by about nine inches due to melting ice caps in the North and South poles. This is a huge problem aside from rising sea levels, as frozen water is known to hold bacterias and diseases that humans have never been exposed to before.
