Academic dishonesty, how serious a penalty?

2005-02-11T07:09:43Z

Where a post-secondary and research institution has committed academic dishonesty in the knowing and willful theft and wrongful conversation of intellectual property, how serious a sanction should there be against the faculty members involved and the academic institution that permit the conduct? Or should it be a matter that is forgiven, and overlooked even where the intellectual property stolen, has been and continues to be used by the institution’s students to gain an unfair advantage over students at other institutions when applying to graduate school, law schools, medical schools, and procuring research grants, and Fulbright Scholarships?

Sex Education

2004-02-26T00:44:22Z

Do you support abstinence only sex ed, or comprehensive sex ed (meaning students are taught both the benefits of abstinence, plus info on contraceptives, etc.)?

I support comprehensive sex ed, because, study after study shows that regardless if a student has had an abstinence only curricula or one that includes info on contraceptives and prevention, the rate of sexual activity is the same (50% of students have had sex by the time they graduate from high school). The difference between the two groups, however, is that the students who have had abstinence only education have higher rates of pregnancy and STIs compared to the other group of kids in the comprehensive sex ed curriculas.

Besides being concerned with this because I am a health educator, I'm upset that the Bush administration puts so much money towards the abstinence only programs when they are obviously failing programs. This money comes out of my (and all of your) pockets...

Woman sues over Janet Jackon's breast

Fri Feb 6, 1:28 PM ET

CHICAGO (Reuters) - A Tennessee woman has filed a class action suit against Janet Jackson and others involved in her breast-baring Super Bowl halftime show, saying millions of people are owed monetary damages for exposure to lewd conduct.

The suit, filed earlier this week in federal court in Knoxville, Tennessee, also names pop star Justin Timberlake, who performed with Jackson, CBS Broadcasting, show producer MTV Networks Enterprises, and the parent of those two companies, Viacom.

The action seeks a court order to prevent anything like last Sunday's stunt from being repeated on U.S. network television prior to 10 p.m. local time when children might be watching.

No dollar figure for damages is mentioned in the suit, but it estimates that over 80 million U.S. viewers might be due compensation. CBS has said the game drew an average viewership of just under 89.6 million people. Advertising during the game sold for more than $2 million (1.1 million pounds) a spot.

The suit states that the ultimate compensatory damage figure, should a jury decide to grant damages, should be no higher than what the parties being sued made out of participating in and airing the Super Bowl and its halftime show.

If additional punitive damages are granted, it adds, they should be no higher than the "gross annual revenues of each defendant for the last three years..."

Those figures would probably run into the billions of dollars, according to the Smoking Gun, a Web site that first published the court papers.

During the halftime show Timberlake tore off half of Jackson's black leather bustier, exposing her right breast, while the two were singing a duet.

Jackson took the blame but said "it was not my intention that it go as far as it did."

CBS has already said it would use an "enhanced delay" on its February 8 broadcast of music's Grammy Awards so it can censor both audio and video as needed, and ABC also said it will use a delay on its February 29 broadcast of the Academy Awards (news - web sites).

The suit says the defendants knew the broadcast would be watched by millions of families with children but they "included in the halftime show sexually explicit acts solely designed to garner publicity and ultimately to increase profits for themselves. The suit mentions the breast exposure but also says the show in general contained "other lewd and sexually explicit conduct."

The law firm handling the suit issued a statement on Friday saying that neither the woman who filed it, Terri Carlin, nor her attorney, Wayne Ritchie, would comment. "The issue here is accountability and not more publicity," it said.
