While I understand the point that in the aftermath of the Kosovo conflict, it is necessary to send a clear message to the international community that violence (and especially group-targeted violence) remains an absolutely unacceptable method of solving problems, the message that the staff proposes is highly hypocritical...
...most of the past half-century, financial-aid officers at selective colleges--including M.I.T. and the eight Ivies--agreed among themselves on a single method of calculating a family's ability to pay. Applicants were told what their "expected family contribution" would be. But in 1990 the U.S. Justice Department charged these colleges with price fixing.

...been touting stem cells for years now. But, as the UCLA team is quick to point out, stem cell research is currently hampered by the controversy surrounding the cells, which are generally culled from aborted fetuses or from embryos left behind after fertility treatments. If scientists can perfect a method of extracting stem cells from discarded (and decidedly uncontroversial) fat, they could skirt the ethical conundrum altogether...
