...conspiring against his company. Byrne says the attacks have "put limits on the amount of capital we can raise, how fast we can grow and how many people we can employ." His company's stock, at $76 in January, has tumbled into the low $30s. Byrne filed an unfair-practices suit in August against Rocker Partners, which specializes in short selling.

In order to minimize their deleterious effects, some easy fixes should be made so that the system of restrictions does not unfairly treat those who genuinely need to eat at River dining halls.Interhouse restrictions have been implemented across campus for a variety of reasons.
