...issue of Fifteen Minutes, The Crimson’s weekly magazine, Elizabeth W. Green raised valid concerns about the ratio of low-income students at Harvard.

Administrators attribute this imbalance partly to insufficient recruiting efforts. Perhaps highlighting how the financial aid program truly levels the playing field by providing equal...
Even if you appear to have infringed one of the exclusive rights that go along with a copyright held by someone else—like making a digital copy—you may have a valid excuse.
