...FAS” acronym. And Associate Dean of the College Judith H. Kidd called the current restrictions on usernames—which often add numbers to the end of addresses with common names—“dehumanizing.” Sundquist said that the trial program will allow FAS IT—which he characterized as highly receptive to undergraduate input—to deal with several qualms that have arisen over the now imminent change. William R. Rose ’11, another UC member approached to take part in the program, said he was initially concerned...
...more than a surprise when Khartoum announced last week that it had, in fact, been holding Ali Kushayb for several months and that he would be put on trial. "The timing of this particular claim about an arrest is certainly interesting," says Christopher Hall, head of Amnesty International's International Justice Project.

Funding could come from the UC’s budget of student activities termbill fees, the College, or both. “The ideal situation would be that we would be able...
...judicial system doesn't have a record of delivering justice. This month, for example, marks the 14th anniversary of the murder of Dmitri Kholodov, an investigative journalist killed in his office by a booby-trapped attaché case while he was investigating corruption in the Russian army. The long trial of his alleged murderers ended in their acquittal; a colonel charged with the murder won compensation for his forced retirement and pretrial confinement. Kholodov's friends and colleagues complain of a gross miscarriage of justice, but nothing has been done. The murder is officially unsolved; the crime is going unpunished...
