Statement on this so-called sex controversy in...
to my friends and supporters:
Allow me to clarify a couple of things about this so-called sex controversy which has been going on for over five years. This was all trumped up by a girl I met in a cafeteria in Dayton, Ohio in 2008. We kissed in a hallway after lunch, and later on, after her boyfriend found out, she went to the cops where her alternative story that she obviously made up was that I...

"A hard lesson in what a state can do to a kid"
By Bob Kerr
Published April 20, 2012 in The Providence Journal
It’s hard to understand why my friend Nick Alahverdian’s story hasn’t resonated with more people and led to more needed changes. Perhaps it’s because he has been too much his own advocate, worked the State House too diligently, been too articulate in defining the state’s failures.
One thing is certain: What happened to...

Thomas Wolfe: the Southerner, the Existentialist
© 2011 Nicholas Alahverdian
Thomas Wolfe, an author in the Southern Literary Renaissance, was not like the Southern writers that preceded him. These foregoing authors focused on historical romances, purportedly valiant efforts by Confederate soldiers, and the antebellum Southern condition. This historical writing, firmly rooted in the traditionally Southern rhetorical style (a method, as...

My Take on the Penn State Abuse Crisis
Earlier this month, in a remarkable demonstration of accountability, the Penn State Board of Trustees dismissed a member of the coaching staff who, in 2002, committed sexual assault upon a child and colleagues who assisted in the subsequent coverup. Perhaps the most exalted figure in college football, head coach Joe Paterno, was ousted as a result of his failure to report the rape, which allegedly...

The Art of a City
My personal living preference involves a striking skyline, a cutting-edge public transportation system, an airport close to the city, and an extensive swath of choices of museums and galleries. As more and more Americans choose to move to simulated communities, or suburbs, the aforementioned entities become overlooked and under-appreciated. Many people seem to be comfortable being surrounded by...

The Affliction of Overpopulation in Academia
Steadily growing to 7 billion people, the population of the world is exceptionally frightening. As global unemployment rises and the job market is saturated with candidates, it is becoming increasingly competitive to attain and maintain employment. Of particular interest to me is the job market serving academia. This specific market is hyper-saturated with mediocre candidates. Colleges have seen...
on wealth
Carnegie’s “Wealth” essay is reminiscent of the belief that it is ethically advantageous to be poor in a rich nation than it is to be rich in a poor nation. Every age has faced the quarrel of individual wealth distribution, and the associated decisiveness is no small task to handle. From an ethical perspective, it is imperative that those who are more fortunate assist those in...

A survivor tells the story of kid dumping
Note: this article was written in 2002, long before Alahverdian was sent out of state. Now you see why he was considered a publicity threat and also why those responsible had to send him far away, under lock and key and with massive doses of Thorazine, to shut him up.
