It’s questionable appointment season: On Tuesday, just weeks after the Senate finally agreed to seat Roland Burris—the nominee of a governor currently in midst of impeachment proceedings??€”Kirsten Gillibrand became the senator from New York amidst speculation that her selection was a political move by New York governor David Paterson. Senator Gillibrand, who, up until her appointment, was largely unknown to New Yorkers outside her Congressional district, was rumored to have been chosen for her ability to help Paterson appeal to upstate New Yorkers and women in his upcoming reelection...

But when students ask questions, particularly in relation to a campus-wide controversy, it is reasonable for them to expect...
...jury, a standard of evidence determined by lengthy case law and a trained jurist as an arbiter of that evidence. And on all these counts, Massachusetts undeniably has the upper hand in administering fair verdicts. CASV’s insistence on lower standards of evidence and less transparent proceedings??€”fixtures that invariably lower the fairness of any hearing—should be replaced with a rhetoric that encourages women to go to the police, go to court, and put their assailants behind bars...
