Keeping secrets: Why Covering up Bush-Era Transgressions Is Contrary to the Rule of Law? http://illinois.edu/calendar/Calendar?calId=45&eventId=137497&ACTION=VIEW_EVENT Lecture Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:00:00 CST With a frequency never before seen, the Bush administration consistently asserted the state secrets privilege in order to derail court proceedings, not only excluding specific pieces of evidence but also effectively blocking certain claims in their entirety. Colleen Connell discusses legislation to codify the conditions under which the government may assert the state secrets privilege and the degree to which it can affect an otherwise legitimate claim.

In order to be eligible to declare the Global Studies Major or Minor, students are now required to attend one of the following informational meetings. All meetings will be held in the Foreign Languages Building G17 (in the basement) and will last about an hour. The meetings will be held in a workshop format, which will take students through the construction of a major plan of study as well as all necessary forms for the transfer and/or addition of the major or minor. This will prepare students for an enhanced experience in the program and also allow for individualized advising to be reserved for declared students.
