Perhaps newsworthiness does trump this warm and fuzzy issue of spirit, but does it trump a commitment to a basic code of reporting policies? After all, most Kuumba members did not have a problem with the story itself, but rather to how the story was reported. "I agree it was newsworthy, and I am glad the story was written," says Brunton, "but not this way, not by pulling people's private e-mails. You don't expect this from a reputable news source, you don't expect it from The Crimson." Kristin Williams '00, vice president of Kuumba, was more...
...response to this electronic explosion, The Crimson needs to rigorously reexamine its policies to come up with a consistent, robust code of e-reporting guidelines. At present, glaring inconsistencies remain. For example, The Crimson's own Editorials Board refuses, on principle, to publish any e-mail letter without first confirming the content of the letter with the writer.

We believe standards such as no child labor, freedom from abuse and rights to a living wage and collective bargaining are realistically enforceable policies. Setting up a complex private educational system, through Harvard's licensees, in the factories, is in no way realistic. Furthermore, the idea of corporations such as Nike taking over the role of educators of children is a rather problematic one. Finally, it is difficult...
...believe our proposal for a Code of Conduct represents the best and most realistic step that Harvard and other universities can take towards solving the problems of sweatshops such as child labor. The goal of the Code is not to simply wipe our hands clean of the problems in some overseas factories, but to have a positive impact on working and living conditions in those areas. A sentence in the section on child labor in our proposed Code states: "Licensees agree to work with governmental, human rights, and non-governmental organizations as determined by Harvard University and licensee, to minimize...
