--- Date: Wed, 21 May 2003 13:38:15 -0400 Subject: Chronicle of Higher Ed chat on File Sharing on Campus Tomorrow From: Ben Stanfield -- MacSlash <benat_private> To: Declan McCullagh <declanat_private> Declan, I found this in my surfing today, and thought Politech readers might be interested, considering the recent coverage of the RIAA's false accusations and apologies to Penn State. > http://live.psu.edu/index.php?sec=vs&story=3084 Penn State President Graham Spanier will be discussing file sharing on University campuses in an online chat at the Chronicle of Higher Education. The blurb refers to Spanier as "a national leader in addressing the issue of file sharing on university campuses" and also notes that he recently testified before the US Congress about file sharing. Having attended Penn State during Spanier's time there, I know he can and does fight valiantly for students' rights, particularly freedom of speech and expression. He's certainly faced his share of controversy, but he often has interesting and worthwhile insights, and I'm sure his chat tomorrow will be quite interesting. Hope some Politechers get a chance to participate.
