DoIT does right by protecting students
(03/25/07 6:00am)
In early March, the Recording Industry Association of America launched a new ""deterrence program"" to discourage illegal file sharing on college campuses. In response, UW-Madison officials deterred the program itself, refusing to hunt down and turn in the offending IP address users in campus networks. We support the university's decision, and hope the RIAA recognizes its folly in pressuring UW-Madison officials to infringe on students' privacy with pre-litigation letters.

UW doing all it can with Adidas
(03/20/07 6:00am)
After the recent disclosure of potential worker exploitation in El Salvador regarding UW contracted sports giant Adidas, university officials must place worker's rights high on their list of priorities.
