...arbitration--and the apparent bias of arbitrators. There are strict limits on gathering evidence for arbitration hearings, and it is virtually impossible to appeal them. Arbitrators don't necessarily have to follow the law, and studies suggest they favor companies that regularly hire them. Still, the courts generally uphold arbitration clauses unless a law makes absolutely clear that the employee can go to court, arbitration be damned. That pretty much describes the 1994 act, as three federal courts have ruled...
...that sex, and all that jazz, should be a big deal: If women are allowed to purchase the pill willy-nilly then they will all go around have lots of sex and being generally licentious. Again, this argument puts the cart before the horse, assuming doctors’ appointments uphold moral attitudes.

The protesters should also not face sanctions from the Administrative Board of Harvard College. They have already been put through a trying ordeal thanks to University mistakes. Further punishment is neither necessary nor warranted.If HUPD fails to respect both common sense and the FAS?...
...Harvard College’s Committee on the Objectives of a General Education in a Free Society wrote, “Education […] must uphold at the same time tradition and experiment, the ideal and the means, subserving, like our culture itself, change within commitment.” FAS ignores this credo today, hemming students into low-risk, safety courses—or else leaving us to risk squandering all chance of a good grad school. Only a decisive policy change can resurrect Harvard’s commitment to the pursuit of real scholarship...
