...establishment. After 20 months of investigation, the two magistrates on the case, Henri Pons and René Cros, are focusing on three major allegations: that Messier used false information to make Vivendi's accounts look better than they were; that he manipulated Vivendi stock by launching a huge share buyback after Sept. 11, 2001; and that his j21 million severance contract, since canceled, amounted to embezzlement. Messier, who was freed last week on bail of j1.35 million, denies any wrongdoing. Under French law, being placed under judicial investigation is one step from being formally charged. But Messier said in March...
...This might seem a little outlandish. But, if each student at Harvard loses $100 (a conservative estimate), and there are tens of thousands of students, then we’re all missing out on millions of buyback dollars. The easy answer is for professors to change their ways—but this prospect does not seem very likely. There must be a more pragmatic solution that still allows professors to procrastinate...
...Palmer Street Coop currently has three ways that it treats used books during buyback season. If the book has been reordered by a professor—as about 1500 (of 5000 total each semester) already have—the Coop will pay 50 percent of the new price, sometimes less if the book is in bad shape. For books that are not yet reordered, but which the Coop speculates will be reordered based on past history, the buyback price is 25-35 percent of new price. The Coop book department usually speculates on 1000 to 1200 books each semester. Correct...
...Instead of paying 25-35 percent on speculation books, the Coop should pay 10 percent, and use the savings to speculate on an additional 1500 titles that would otherwise go to the wholesaler. On buyback day, students would get less cash than they do now, but the Coop computers would keep track of how little it paid each student for each book. This wouldn’t be hard—the Coop already keeps track of our purchases and sends us refund checks at the end of the year...
