...Harvard study because “the more selective the college, the lower will be the ratio of females to males even if admissions were on a gender-blind basis,” said Goldin. The reason for this is that the most dominant female-to-male ratios occur among lower socioeconomic status families, while the ratio among wealthier families is more balanced. Katz said that “since Harvard tends to draw from the higher part of the [socioeconomic status] and high school performance distribution [this] would mean even with gender-blind admissions policies that Harvard would tend...
...give students more time to explore their options before committing to a concentration. But the advantage of taking four extra courses seems dubious. Rather then encourage students to invest more time or thought into their decision, the delayed choice deadline will likely only delay the time when serious contemplation occurs.

A Pentagon spokesman said the test would occur at least three miles from areas of known radioactive contamination and that the cloud would not be visible from Las Vegas. But Reid and other Congressional critics expressed dismay about the possible fallout. "I?m concerned that tests of this magnitude have been planned without providing Nevadans with any information...
...never know what actually happened at the Duke party. It bears repeating that lack of DNA evidence does not mean that sex, forced or no, did not occur, and that a prior arrest for assault does not mean one of the accused is automatically capable of sexual assault. And it?s tough to tell whether McFayden?s e-mail was racially motivated, or just repulsively sadistic. But one thing?s certain: Women of color in this country - and, to an extent, women in general - still teeter on that fine line between being seen as exotic objects of desire and, well...
