Three different administrators in the Office of the Registrar refused to comment about the reasons behind the delay, denying even a student’s basic right to an explanation. Moreover, the office could have saved a lot of student stress if it had simply posted about the new extended date—a simple message that said grades would be up on Feb. 8 would have been more helpful than the frustrating message of the site?...

The difference between these countries’ provisions is, at once, simple and frightening: while the British made an exception that allowed them to hold prisoners indefinitely, the U.S. further denied those indefinitely-held prisoners basic rights, resulting in today’s emerging horror stories of gruesome prisoner abuse...
