However, schools have generally been hesitant to commit to the principles advocated by students and labor-and human-rights experts as necessary for a strong code of conduct. We want a code that will be more than a piece of paper and that will really help improve conditions for sweatshop workers...
Coming back from this conference at which students had played such a significant role, we realized that we have important work to do here at Harvard. We need to work with our administration to create and implement the best code we can as part of what has become a national movement capturing the attention of the federal government. Last semester, we built public support for a code of Conduct and raised awareness about sweatshop abuses. In April, we held a rally in the Yard at which two workers from the Dominican Republic who worked in a sweatshop there to make...
Several panelists supported these student principles, such as Dr. Robert Kohan, a professor of political science from Duke, who echoed the need for some form of public disclosure so that workers or human-rights groups at a particular factory could pull the code of conduct fire-alarm and alert universities to code violation. Koehane also pointed out that the quick consensus called for by some administrators should not be used an excuse for a weak code...
...Baker arrives, CPR is still going on; the code team has shoved a tube down Marilyn's throat to pump air into her lungs. Baker prays with Del Castilho as the doctors push epinephrine and atropine through an IV. Briefly, there seems hope of stabilization, and Yopp is wheeled to the medical ICU. But two hours later, after multiple IV infusions, resident Timm Dickfeld takes one last turn at CPR, punishing Yopp's chest almost savagely, then stops. "Call the code," says someone. "Call it." Dickfeld finally accedes. "Over," he says. He makes a chopping gesture. Yopp is dead...
...second floor of the Duke Clinic, Dr. Ralph Snyderman is making rounds. That would be nothing special if he didn't run the place. Snyderman is chancellor of Duke University Medical Center, so for him to be looking in on patients is a bit like Bill Gates debugging code on a Windows program. Still, it's something he does one month every year, usually in June, like most other doctors at Duke. Right now he's checking on the progress of James McAllister, 73, who has a spinal tumor. McAllister is doing well enough to leave a high-cost intensive...
