For the first time this year, we were forced to cover perhaps the most sensitive crime story to be found on college campuses - rape.Rather than hear about the arrest of a UB student on those charges from University Police, however, we read about the incident in the Buffalo News.

SA Assembly Addresses Sweatshop Concerns

The Student Association Assembly passed a resolution Tuesday that called for the UB administration to work with the Workers Rights Consortium via an internal monitoring board composed of students, faculty and administrators.The resolution, which passed 18-4, also called for the administration to affiliate UB with the WRC, which is an independent monitoring body that investigates the business practices of companies producing merchandise bearing college and universities' logos.If the university recognizes the resolution, the not-for profit WRC would work with the university in seeing that clothing adorned with the UB logo was not made in factories that exploited workers.
