many of them have perfectly reasonable faculties.u want to ban people on the roads who are most dangerous game of them they say 35—year—old married mothers of two would ever be allowed behind the wheel because you people are far worse than older people are. however, you do lose your faculties as you get older and men are less likely to admit their frailties as they get older. just anecdotally, just saying. he will be furious and to the television talking to the television seeing this headline will fill up. i he as say. * , he as say. * one sure he does. as you say, it is one of those things old - they of those things old people, they wa nt to of those things old people, they want to keep their“ ' "' ' of those things old people, they want to keep their independence. one i’ over the age of 65 anyone over the age of 65 reading this will say how dare you say that? if he can drive, he can drive. i could pull up tomorrow and be in a crash in the same way he did. i did not think it is necessarily age. it was a busy road and that speed limi

the assistant secretary of civil rights under obama for the first time, i never met a faculty member anywhere that said they wanted on the campus. instead, they wanted advice and help on how to cure a pandemic. we was the first administration to identify that gender identity equals gender under title ix. to roll that back at a time of enlightenment seems counterproductive at best. the civil rights data correction has been transformed since 1968 under obama's first term. we was able to ask basic questions that showed we absolutely had a school to prison pipeline, and to a race those data, and to throw away the truth about course access, the truth about where the dollars are going in the truth about who has access to our strongest teachers, to throw away the thermometer look at the says we have a pervasive fever is ignorant. we remain ever hopeful that these issues, that public education is the great equalizer. also, that if there is one place up bipartisan agreement, it should be in the enforcement of equity and access for all of our young people and this new congress will continue to

professor neely said faculty members approached her asking for help identifying graduate students who were speaking chinese very loudly in the student lounge. she wrote, "they were disappointed that these students were not taking the opportunity to improve their english and were being so impolite as to have a conversation that not everyone on the floor could understand." the e-mail then goes on to say, "i encourage you to commit to using english 100% of the time." >> duke touts its diversity, but then when push comes to shove, international students are not being protected. they're actively being discriminated against. >> an e-mail that neely sent to students in february of 2018 surfaced. in that e-mail she tells students that speaking their native language in the department may give faculty the impression they're not taking >>> the u.s. is imposing . economic sanctions on venezuela targeting the country's state- owned oil monopoly. the trump administration is trying to force president nicolas maduro to step down and make way for an interim leader that the u.s. has recognized. now san

faculty need information about judicial misconduct in order to uphold that trust. that alone is a reason to think about how information should be shared across these institutions. in that vein, we propose the following -- that the committee consider also including law schools in the reporting requirements of rule 23e 8 or in a different set of reporting requirements. when it comes to clerkships in particular, law schools and judges have a mutually reciprocal relationship and we believe there is an obligation for information to be shared across these institutions in the interests of all. we therefore recommend that law schools be added as givers and receivers of information in this feedback loop. i can personally attest that developing such channels of information sharing between my school and the judiciary would go a long way to repairing broken trust among students. the triggering obligations for reporting to law schools might be the same as for state bar associations or might be information sharing to law schools in lesser circumstances where appropriate. althoug

the protection of these faculties is the first object of government. from the protection of different and unequal faculties of acquiring property position of different degrees need resolved. from the influence on sentiments and views of respected proprietors, the division of society and different interests and parties. theoretical politicians who patronize the government have erroneously supposed that by reducing mankind to perfect the quality in their political race they would at the same time be perfectly equalized and assimilated in their possession, their opinions and passions. libertarians, liberals and conservatives, generally support equal political rights, moral equality, equality for the law. and also equality of opportunity, usually understood as freedom from arbitrary limits on individuals ability to pursue wealth. and classical liberals, not libertarians also typically support publicly funded education to advance the quality of opportunity and republican self-government. conservatives and classical liberals are aware of the importance of st
