...looking to extract a profit from its own students. Students who have access to Harvard’s libraries have already paid (quite a lot) for the privilege of tapping into Harvard’s resources. Just as Harvard does not ask students to pay even a minimal fee for each book and course pack they check out of the library or each online journal they access, nor should it ask them to pay for each case study they wish to look at.Harvard is a leader in higher education, and it should set an example of generously sharing its resources...
...Little Lin has heard from friends in England that it will take about three years to repay the snakehead's fee, but hopes he'll be able to work off the debt more quickly. Then perhaps he and his brother will start a chain of restaurants together. It doesn't matter that Little Lin doesn't know how to cook.

The immigrant will then begin slowly working off the debt through poorly paid labor - a process that can take from two to 10 years. "Most people pay off their debts," says the snakehead. "It's not because we threaten them...
...explicitly excluded from the benefits covered by the Student Health Fee—a good policy, since students who do not need immunizations should not have to cover the costs of immunizing students in need of (often travel-necessitated) unusual, circumstantial immunizations or vaccinations. Beyond the student health fee, there is wide variability in coverage for the vaccine among secondary insurance plan providers. Because of this variability, as well as the efficacy of the vaccine and the seriousness of the diseases it protects against, UHS should treat Gardasil as it does many name-brand pharmaceuticals and subsidize costs so that...
