		If I were a lawyer for a university or for the civil-rights establishment, and I wanted to persuade a company to file a brief supporting me, I would start out with a call to the vice president for human relations.
		He would be easily persuaded that such a brief would be a good idea, and his recommendation to the general counsel (and the president) to file such a brief would put them on the spot.

		Kolers said both the corporation and the university continue to assign the responsibility to each other, and aren't taking any action to create a strict labor code.

		It is unethical for the university to have investments in corporations with vested interests in continuing the conflict; a conflict which undermines the basic human rights of Israelis and Palestinians.
		We are joining a rapidly growing number of universities and cities in a national movement of divestment, which works towards a larger goal of using political and economic influence to encourage a non-violent resolution to the conflict.
		We, as members of the OSU community, urge the university to cease investment of our tuition and tax dollars in corporations that profit from the conflict, and ask that any other financial relationships with these corporations be terminated in a timely manner.

	JANU-irony
		JANU's strategy was apparently to exercise their influence over the design of new national university system so that the basic values such as academic freedom and autonomy of university are protected in the new system as much as possible.
		This suspicion is confirmed when we look at the maximum number of trustees assigned for each university in the separate table since the number varies from 2 to 8.
		The simplest explanation of how the intentions of JANU could be ignored so relentlessly is that the bill of National University Corporations is not the product of debate over what the Japanese national universities should be like, but the product of political compromise between the Ministry of Education and other Ministries.

		This distance, the money for a complete semester carried with them in a bag, might also be a reason that students began fencing, simply for self defence, especially as students and aristocrats where the only people that where allowed to carry arms with them.

		The range of these new corporate/university partnerships is only the beginning as universities and corporations realize that the large corporate job families represent a captive market for delivering learning aligned to business needs.
