Because the legal minimum wage in many countries is significantly lower than the amount workers need to pay for the basic necessities, our codes must require that manufacturers pay their workers a living wage, to be determined by cost-of-living analyses. Perhaps even more importantly, universities must force the manufacturers to disclose the exact locations of their factories. The schools must have this information in order to deploy monitors to inspect the factories. Students, human-rights groups and the public must have access to this information to ensure the integrity and public accountability of the system by bringing sweatshop...
Hyde's Old World courtliness has allowed him to pull off the remarkable trick of holding some of the most ideologically rigid views in Congress while maintaining a reputation for restraint. He crafted the famous Hyde amendment--six lines he hastily scribbled on legal paper in 1976 that deny low-income women federal funds for abortions.

Certainly no one ever considers leaving the college. Without that degree, Solomon Brothers won't call. Not will HLS, HBS, HMS or GSAS. Goshdarnit, even Legal Aid will turn you away. And anyhow, the Head of the Charles is coming...
...cancellation of housing form and some other random sheets of paper that will allow Harvard to keep tabs on you while they can't track your every move via ID card. These all come before the Ad Board, who will hem and haw about whether to let you, a legal adult, definitely above the compulsory schooling age, withdraw from school. Strangely enough, they'll decide it's okay. According to Bonnie Blanchard, the assistant to the senior tutor in Dunster House, all this is "to make sure you don't slip through the cracks." And then you're free! Fame...
