...suspend black students at a disproportionate rate. Ogletree testified alongside Cohen, Rev. Al Sharpton, local U.S. District Attorney Donald W. Washington, and others. Ogletree, who graduated from Harvard Law School in 1978, said in an interview that he is often asked for advice on legal issues by committee chairman Rep. John Conyers, Jr. At Harvard, Ogletree is the director of the Houston Institute for Race & Justice, a center focused on resolving racial discrimination in the justice system. Ogletree founded the center...
...missing now, when Johnny comes in, is the buzz. Everyone still likes him, but being a drug rep and having a couple of big knee operations somehow cost Johnny much of his celebrity status.

Kennedy ’54-’56 (D-MA) wailed, “the same President who is willing to throw away half...
Months after a bill that could have required universities to police student downloaders was dropped on Capitol Hill, universities are already bracing for round two. Last week, Rep. Ric Keller (R-Fla.) and Rep. Howard P. McKeon (R-Calif.) proposed the College Access and Opportunity Act, a measure that would require universities to monitor students’ online activity for illegal file-sharing. The bill echoes Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s (D-Nev.) proposal, which was withdrawn in July after vocal opposition from universities and across the country. Wendy Seltzer ’96, a fellow...
