	Columbia News ::: Ad Hoc Grievance Committee Publishes Report
		The purpose of that committee was to advise the President on issues of academic freedom in the light of the controversy that had followed a teach-in on the war in Iraq.
		The ad hoc grievance committee was established as a result of the expression of concern by a number of students that they were being intimidated by faculty members and being excluded from participating fully in classroom discussions because of their views.
		The committee is specifically not being asked to investigate political or scholarly opinions, curriculum, or departments, but to identify cases where there appear to be violations of the obligation to create a civil and tolerant teaching environment in which opposing views can be expressed.

		The contracting committee should also obtain the commitment of a prospective consultant to inform the committee promptly regarding any such source of earned income, client or investment that he or she obtains during the term of the contract.
		The Standards Committee understands that at times committees enter into consulting contracts with individuals, and at times they enter into contracts with firms for the services of individuals employed by or affiliated with the firm.
		The Committee understands that in the Senate, consultants are technically subject to the requirement to file a public financial disclosure statement, but that the Senate Select Ethics Committee will routinely waive the requirement.

	Hospital Privilege Delineation Forms for Family Physicians -- American Academy of Family Physicians (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The privilege delineation form should be regarded as an administrative tool to assist the applicant's department and/or the credentials/executive committee to determine which privileges the applicant is qualified to obtain.
		The Joint Commission believes that when a hospital uses this system in delineation of privileges, the categories must be well-defined and the standards that must be met by the applicant should be clearly stated for each category.
		Privileges include but are not limited to; pre-and post-operative care, suture simple lacerations, IandD abscess, perform simple skin biopsy or excision, remove non-penetrating corneal foreign body, and manage uncomplicated minor closed fractures and uncomplicated dislocations.

	Standards for Approval of Law Schools (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		In determining whether a law school complies with the Standards, the ratio of the number of full-time equivalent students to the number of full-time equivalent faculty members is considered.
		This presumption may be rebutted if the law school is able to demonstrate that the individual has a full-time commitment to teaching, research, and public service, is available to students, and is able to participate in the governance of the institution to the same extent expected of full-time faculty.
		In determining if the members of the full-time clinical faculty meet standards and obligations reasonably similar to those provided for other full-time faculty, competence in the areas of teaching and scholarly research and writing should be judged in terms of the responsibilities of clinical faculty.

	3.02 - Standards and Professional Committees
		Policies for standards committees are consistent with federal guidelines for participation in the development and use of voluntary standards as set out by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in OMB Circular A-119, revised February 19, 1998.
		Committee participation does not necessarily connote NIST agreement with, or endorsement of, the decisions reached by a committee or the standards developed by voluntary standards bodies.
		If the standards body does not itself provide for institutional memberships, a formal request must be made to the Office of the Director, NIST through the Standards Services Division and the Counsel for NIST, seeking approval of the standards body for the purpose of underwriting individual membership fees.

	The greasy pole
		This committee, as its name implies, is supposed to watch over the standards of conduct of those people quaintly called Honourable Members, which means that anyone who deals with them is supposed to tell the truth.
		In a note to the Tory Chief Whip, he suggested that the committee should either set aside the complaint against Hamilton until the MP's libel action against the Guardian had been settled—by which time much of the embarrassment should have subsided—or investigate the complaint as quickly as possible "...exploiting the good Tory majority at present".
		Referring to the Tory chairman of the committee, Willetts wrote "He wants our advice"—in other words the chairman wanted to be told the best way of stopping the committee doing the job it had been set up to do.

		Controversial Labour M.P and former foreign office minister Keith Vaz, the first person of Asian origin to become a minister in the British government, was on Wednesday suspended for one month after being found guilty of 'serious breaches' of the parliament's code of conduct and contempt of the House.

		The standards committee said he had given 'misleading' information to the committee and to Filkins about the financial relationship between his family and the Hindujas.

	Prescott to be 'rebuked' over ranch stay (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Sources quoted by the BBC and Sky News claim that Mr Prescott is likely to receive what amounts to a 'slap on the wrist' from parliament's standards and privileges committee, after he swiftly moved to register the stay when it became public knowledge, having previously failed to do so.
		The committee is expected to consider what action, if any, should be taken against the deputy prime minister when it meets behind closed doors this morning to discuss the report submitted on the controversy by the parliamentary commissioner for standards, Sir Philip Mawer.
		The parliamentary commissioner launched his investigation after Tory MP Hugo Squire claimed that Mr Prescott's visit to the home of Millennium Dome owner Mr Anschutz represented a conflict of interest because the American billionaire was bidding to open a super-casino at the Greenwich site.

		And where are the MPs of the intellectual calibre of Enoch Powell, who resolutely refused to fill in his Register of Members’ Interests, and who successfully dared Parliament to penalise him for it?
		It seems that all sense of proportion has deserted our public authorities — primarily the Commons Fees Office and the Committee of Standards and Privileges — when it comes to demanding disclosures supposedly for suppressing ‘sleaze’.
		I suspect that financial sleaze in politics committed by individual MPs, as opposed to the generalised kind committed by government, such as in the Ecclestone affair, is so rare as not to justify the present massive over-reaction that is putting off talented, public-spirited people from engaging in political life.
