...forces of law and order have yet to make an impact on several illicit criminal enterprises. And none is as visible and pervasive as the one that has snared Junelyn's pubescent daughter. A report on child sexual exploitation in the Solomons, commissioned by the United Nations Children's Fund (unicef), was completed in 2004 but has never been publicly released. A copy obtained by Time documents dozens of examples of child sexual abuse - from underage prostitution to the manufacture of child pornography, child sex tourism and marriages of convenience. The report has been in the hands of the Solomon...
...scandal. As a former law student (though not at Harvard), it strikes me as ludicrous that law professors feel a need to censor the recruitment process for graduating 3Ls, who are at least 24 years old. In a time when universities refuse to be paternalistic about students’ sexual behavior or alcohol abuse, the idea that, after three years of learning at the feet of these professors, Harvard’s law graduates aren’t smart enough to make up their own minds on whether to join the military or not, is hypocritical in the extreme...
...point out a course of action the piece’s authors overlooked—one that would allow the state to avoid this dilemma altogether. Massachusetts could amend its tax laws to revoke the favored tax status of private organizations incorporated under state law that discriminate based on sexual orientation. The federal tax code already provides for the revocation of favored tax treatment of otherwise tax-exempt private schools that practice racial discrimination, even for religious reasons. The Supreme Court, in Bob Jones University v. United States (1982), upheld the constitutionality of this provision against claims that it violates...
...under the current policy many students are forced into regrettable housing situations without the benefit of consent. That gender-segregated housing prevents students from living with whom they are most comfortable is reason enough for the administration to change the policy.Opponents of mixed-gender housing raise the issue of sexual assault, which is an extraordinarily important issue in its own right. But in the context of choosing roommates, this argument is flawed. Susan Marine, the director of the Office for Sexual Assault Prevention and Response, has reviewed research on the matter and has found no relationship between the type...
Moving these organizations to the women’s center would, however, discourage men from using them. Although perhaps not as affected by programs that address eating disorders and sexual assault, men deserve to benefit from the health and wellness resources that Harvard has to offer, and men may not feel comfortable going to the women’s center to get help. On the other hand, leaving existing health resources where they are while creating separate but similarly focused ones in the women’s center is inefficient, and the current plan of simply providing information about these...
