...Globalization might be creating rich countries with poor people," economist Joseph Stiglitz has noted. That is apparent in South Africa, whose postapartheid government adopted an open-market economy that drew cheers from Wall Street and the international banking community and helped achieve an impressive, steady annual economic growth rate of 4-5%. But that growth has done little to reverse inequality or dangerously high levels of unemployment. In November last year, the South African Institute of Race Relations estimated 4.2 million South Africans were living on $1 a day in 2005, up from 1.9 million in 1996, two years after...

...University President Drew G. Faust’s installation, then-Undergraduate Council (UC) President Ryan A. Petersen ’08 boldly proclaimed: “This process of decisions made behind closed doors, this disempowerment of students, this denial of citizenship must end now.” His aggressive rhetoric epitomized the conflict between undergraduates and the College that characterized so many of the major issues in student life this year.While antagonism may have been an overarching theme of the student-College relationship this year, there were many notable exceptions, as progress generally followed communication and compromise.
