H.A.S.T.E. has sponsored several safety-awareness activities, including the recent Take Back the River Run and a Model Mugging seminar. The organization also secured funding from the Undergraduate Council to make the Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) System, a self-defense course, free to undergraduate women...
...they took the "participation/deliberation" distinction seriously. The "equal influence" paradigm of reform automatically posits a divergence of interests between different parts of the electorate. By calling reform an opportunity for "fair deliberation," the emphasis is less on controversial schemes of distribution than on opportunities for consensus-building. With this model of reform in mind, reformers could attack distortions like thirty-second attack ads and "push-polling" through which the right does much of its "dirty work." And they would not merely be looking at campaign finance reform as an instrument to achieve one particular political program...

Asian American communities are deeply ambivalent on the issue of affirmative action, but one thing is clear: they do not wish to be used as rhetorical pawns by its (white) opponents. In perpetuating the myth of Asian Americans as a "model minority," Mansfield ignores the socioeconomic diversity of Asian America. Hmong, Laotian and Cambodian American communities, for example, have higher rates of poverty on average than African American and Latino communities, and Filipino Americans--the second largest Asian American group--are underrepresented at nearly all the nation's top schools.
