Even though they had been sprayed, the leaves of plants so shielded did not yellow. The plants appeared normal, so the peasants could sell them as if they were uncontaminated. The result: contaminated marijuana was mixed into the approximately 3,000 tons of Mexican pot smuggled annually into...
...short, we oppose divestiture under normal circumstances not merely--or even primarily--because it costs the University money but because it is a relatively ineffective means of pursuing ethical ends. See text of the Corporation decision, page...
