	Vanguard introduces new, low-cost share class - Jul. 26, 2000
		But some think -- although Vanguard denies it -- that the move is also a response to the cost pressures created by exchange-traded funds and possibly a lawsuit in connection with the company's proposed exchange-traded shares known as VIPERs.
		Three types of investors will be eligible: those who have been in a Vanguard fund for 10 years and accumulated a $50,000 balance; those who have invested $150,000 or more in a fund account that is at least three years old; and investors who have $250,000 or more in a fund.
		But Vanguard's Demming, who said he could not comment on the specifics of the lawsuit, said there is no connection whatsoever between the Admiral program and the suit, or for that matter the VIPERs themselves.

	Vanguard Wants All of You

	Magnet for problems? HISD Vanguard program for gifted students being reassessed
		Lawrence Allen, the principal, was removed from the school after Vanguard parents told HISD about concerns they had accumulated over his 2 1/2 years on the job: neglected repairs, bills not paid, teachers not getting supplies, students not getting books in a timely manner, funding for the Vanguard program used elsewhere.
		At Jones and in other HISD schools, the Vanguard program is allocated extra funding, and has amenities, such as small class sizes, that are not common in the rest of the school.
		The principal explained that she could not be valedictorian because the Vanguard students were graded on a five-point grading scale, while the regular students were on a four-point scale.

	Labor Relations \| Jeers for management at Harvard Vanguard! Cheers for MNA members there!
		Harvard Vanguard explained they needed the new maximum rate in order to be competitive and recruit and retain nurses in its new endoscopy program, most of whom were recruited from the Beth Israel program.
		In subsequent negotiations Harvard Vanguard said that its position of increasing the maximum salaries by up to 20 percent would be expanded to approximately another seven nurses and that its maximum increase allowed for all other bargaining unit members was revised downward from its initial proposal of 4.75 percent to 3.5 percent.
		The nurses have explained to Harvard Vanguard that the reason it isn’t competitive with regard to salaries for endoscopy nurses is because its compensation system and salaries are not consistent with the health care industry norms in the greater Boston area.

		Operation Vanguard is an irrational approach to interior immigration enforcement: it was all economic pain for Nebraska residents, with no measurable immigration-enforcement gain.
		This intention is corroborated by INS' movement of the field headquarters of Operation Vanguard from its Omaha, Nebraska District Office to its Dallas, Texas Regional Office (which covers the states of Texas, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota and Nebraska).
		As is obvious, INS views this program as a model for future interior immigration enforcement in labor-intensive industries nation-wide.
