Education vs. Privacy

After reading the Tatge case featured on Jim Romensko's blog, I was not completely sure on whose side I agreed with. However, as a professor myself, it is clear that Mark Tatge did nothing wrong, or unethical in his teachings. For a class titled Investigative Reporting Techniques, it is obvious that some research is necessary. Since all criminal records are public knowledge, why not use a public criminal record of student attending the university?

Quite a Snow Day

Stepping out into the night, I am greeted by a swift gust of air and heavy snowflakes blurring my vision. It is 5:09 in the evening, if I work quickly I can make it to my 5:45 class. Every car in the driveway is hidden beneath a soft white blanket, and the fresh powder crunches under each step I make toward my car. I put on my gloves and take out the long handled brush to begin wiping my car down. My roommate, Alana begins to kick some of the snow away from the back tires due to our lack of shovel. The snow easily glides off of the front and back windshields, but the four inches of snow that had piled up on top give me a harder time, I use the hard side of the brush to break up the icy pile. It is now 5:17 as we slide into the car. I turn the keys into the ignition, and hear a small grumble from my car's engine, and then nothing. 5:19, Alana and I look to each other, quickly get out of the car and run to the bus stop only two blocks away.
