Editorial: Virtual parking misses marketing opportunity
The FIU parking decal requires at least some representation for those who park on campus. The new system removes the need for the decals, thereby removing them from the cars.

Editorial: Back to school means back to business
In between joining clubs and studying, pick up a copy of The Beacon every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday to stay updated on what’s going on around campus. If you’re on the go, FIU Student Media will make sure to keep you informed on Twitter and Facebook, as well as on our website, FIUSM.com.
Editorial: Health services integration goals remain unclear

Editorial: Gender-neutral changes promote University safety and inclusivity
Despite the time it has taken for FIU to provide gender-neutral bathrooms, the University is one of the first in the state to provide open housing. For those students in need of a safe place to express their gender-identity without fear, FIU plans to provide dorms in existing residence halls that will be open to house all gender identities in fall 2016.

Editorial: Student elections fly under BBC’s radar
It is no secret that the millennial population is one that votes infrequently, but it is imperative that students have a say in our national, local and student governments if they wish to make a difference – otherwise, those elected have the power of stagnation in office, whether due to under-qualification or deliberate enforcement of an agenda – who knows what can happen when people simply aren’t looking.
