...within protocol.But experts in civil rights and criminal law suggest that consent can be tainted if officers are misleading.And although undergraduates in college dormitories are subject to administration searches, experts say that university police departments—even private ones like HUPD—must in almost all cases obtain warrants.ELEPHANTS IN A TOOL BOXThe HUPD policy on searches is in line with that of other police department policies but does operate on a case-by-case basis.“HUPD officers may enter a student’s room with consent, a warrant or by a recognized exception...
...UC’s bill requires workers to obtain a badge from building managers before entering any dormitory. The badge, which “shall be displayed prominently,” will help students to differentiate between dangerous intruders and benign maintenance workers. This legislation wisely addresses the problem of plainclothes contractors who, unlike the uniformed Facilities Maintenance Operations workers and UNICCO janitors, often carry no form of identification. Though seemingly harmless, the gravity of this security risk became clear last October, when a convicted rapist was found roaming the halls of Mather House, posing as a fire-door inspector...
...another SAC vice-chair. Currently, Harvard authorizes uniformed Facilities Maintenance Operations (FMO) workers, UNICCO janitors, and plain-clothes student dorm crew workers and outside contractors to enter residential housing.

This provision—arguably the centerpiece of the Patriot Act—allows the government to conduct searches upon the basis of “reasonable necessity” without...
...Laura Bush, whom Mbono described as the group's "grandmother," used the occasion to announce a new public-private pediatric AIDS treatment initiative that will channel more contributions from the United States, international organizations and pharmaceutical companies to help parents obtain and use simpler and safer medicines for children. According to the administration, the President?s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) has provided $238.7 million to South Africa in the past two years, and Bush?s 2006 budget includes an additional $221.5 million. "The need is great, but the goodwill of the world is greater," the First Lady said...
