...than the rest of the population, according to a survey commissioned by Univision, a Spanish-language network -- been courted more aggressively by mainstream TV? One reason may be the proliferation of Spanish-language TV stations (130 outlets broadcasting full or part time in Spanish), which have siphoned off a portion of the available audience. The Nielsen ratings, some charge, have long underestimated the Spanish-speaking audience, thus giving the networks less incentive to program for it.

For instance, there is a certain group of football players who know what needs to be done to a baseball field prior to a game...
...treating them as fairly as it should be. In a suit filed by former Facilities and Maintenance worker Charlotte Walters, a jury found Harvard guilty of sexual discrimination on one count when it failed to discipline a worker who harassed Walters. On the faculty level, women shoulder a larger portion of the undesirable administrative burden than do their male counterparts--holding 31 percent of the head tutor jobs, although they comprise only 14 percent of the faculty eligible for these posts...
