...affected countries in the West, Niger is not South Africa, where as much as 40 per cent of the population is HIV positive, and almost all of them have no idea. In African nations like these, AIDS is rife and medications are next to impossible to come by.In 2001, generic drug manufacturers surfaced in countries such as India and Brazil that could produce and sell crucial AIDS drugs at a fraction of the retail price. Due to the reduced costs, combination drug therapy could potentially reach up to two to three times as many people as before. Yet 39 American...
...school insists that all first-year students learn to type, so that they can use their mandatory laptops on the fiber-optic network that links every classroom and bedroom to teaching resources and the Internet. Some accents reveal the distinctive bray of the upper crust, but most are generic middle class. The questions are earnest and Maxwell is able to illustrate his answers on a giant whiteboard onto which an image from his computer is projected (most classrooms have the same high-tech setup). The project the boys are working on would probably not be the first choice...
...expanding the scale would allow student to get a better sense of the actual quality of their professors. Moreover, the survey needs to be rewritten to help identify particular strengths and weakness, as too many sample comments in the CUE are either too generic or irrelevant to be of any real use.

There is one feature of the CUE, however, that should not be changed. Some students have complained that they do not have time to complete CUE evaluations during...
...other cultures, students from the U.S. learn something about their own thinking. Most of us at this school, indeed, think like Americans. It is not intellectual integrity that leads us to pretend otherwise—and if we strive for “pure,” generic efficacy in academic life, we are apt to miss out on rich legacies in American thought.With a nationalist mindset, then, in my final weeks as a member of this academic community, I offer an instance of the most primal and distinctive kind of American speech: a jeremiad for the occasion.In...
...election procedures, representatives have priority in choosing where to serve based on ranking in their House or Yard elections, often leaving those with fewer votes reduced to serving on a committee to which they are apathetic. In turn, candidates, not knowing which committee they will be serving on, adopt generic platforms in their campaigns—thereby reducing UC elections to a popularity contest. UC members, however, continue to perpetuate these inefficiencies in order to protect their incumbency advantage, a disgraceful parade of egoism which we should repudiate.The UC has had a string of advocacy successes over the last year...
