Attention
to detail is university policy
State
Department safety warnings rightly end trip
Policies
are generally enacted by the university to ensure the
well-being of the general population. Curfews in dorms
are to provide a safe environment for residents. No parking
in certain zones guarantee a path for a fire truck if
necessary. No funding student organization trips to countries
where there are State Department-issued travel warnings
because — well, you get the point.
The African Heritage Organization recently learned that
its trip to Kenya had been canceled due to a university
policy that prevents students, faculty and staff from
using university funds for trips to areas with State Department-issued
travel warnings. This particular warning was issued last
September, urging Americans to avoid non-essential travel
to Kenya because of terrorist threats.

Tests
cause chaos, deaths
My
heart aches for the losses we suffer daily. Through my
years in school, I have heard it too many times. “My
second cousin’s uncle has died,” says one. “My
car broke down by a biker bar, and they wouldn’t
let me use the telephone until after they beat me,”
says another. My own grandmothers have died more than
16 times each.
