However, I think the site could use a short explanation of what exactly this site is somewhere on the home page, if not every page. Having not heard of Salient before, it took me a while to guess that this was a student newspaper, and then I had to look at the About page just to be sure I was right.

Maybe the grid, but that's about it. I would say they did their homework, and looked at sites that worked, and got inspiration from that.
I see nothing wrong here.
