...issue we've discussed much within HRC. The demonstrations seem to have gotten a lot of attention (good and bad) in the media, so to the extent that you buy into the idea that all publicity is good publicity (which I do not), I guess you could term them moderately successful. They do seem to have tapped into some of the sentiment against wasteful government spending...
With just a month left before the end of the spring term, time is dwindling if the Ad Board Review Committee’s report is to be implemented by the end of this academic year. The report—which addresses potential changes to the Administrative Board, the College’s main disciplinary body—was presented to Dean of the College Evelynn M. Hammonds on March 6.

...Bersin's seven-year term as San Diego education superintendent - at the time one of the longest in the nation - was notable for the vehement opposition it drew from teacher unions and school board members.

Where Chirac's leadership was criticized as plodding, unfocused, and ready...

Bloggers are whipping up fears that the influx of Chinese workers is part of Beijing's long-term strategy to occupy their country. Banned pro-democracy groups, which are happy for any opportunity to criticize the authoritarian government, call the mining venture an "ill-begotten scheme." Earlier this month, a dissident Buddhist monk, Thich Quang Do, said that strip mining will destroy the way of life of the region...
