Copyright 2001 Charles W. Stone All Rights Reserved What Has Happened to Due Process!! Perhaps this century will
be known for its government-mandated loss of civil liberties, totalitarian
regimes, genocide and technological developments!! Perhaps the most easily
avoided are the real problems with due process of law especially in those
areas in which government was made to protect those without power!! Yet time
after time our government has protected the rights of the abusers over the
abused!! This is true in the case students and veterans. Let me just confine
this to accountability, fairness and constitutionality in education!! Its
like Chevrolet, Mom and Apple Pie!! Nothing could more symbolic at least of
what America is really about!! Due process is one of the most important
legacies of the countless sacrifices, which American military personnel have
made since the start of this nation. In the early 1970's problems of
arbitrary and capricious school dismissals became apparent. Responding to
this need then Senator James Buckley sponsored the Family Rights and Privacy
Act of 1974. To obtain passage of the needed legislation it was cleverly
managed. Much of the credit should go to Senator Buckley's aide at that time
John Kwapicz!! However, the Act had one weakness, its method of
enforcement. Student loan funding
would be withheld from guilty institutions. Even at that time student loan
funding was a key ingredient in the academic system. The Barons of Academe
were alarmed mightily and struck back in many ways! First, legislation was
introduced to trim to perceived excesses. Then the Imperial Bureaucrats in
Washington really got to work hamstringing a good law. By the time all of
this was finished murders had more rights than graduate and professional
students. The first test case, Horowitz, 1978, was so heavily camouflaged by
the US Supreme Court that most Americans couldn't understand its significance
or meaning!! In a second US Supreme Court test case, Ewing, 1986, a
university with one of the top law and medical schools was allowed to use the
type of attorney which murders use. In fact universities have actually used
the privacy part of the Act to cover-up campus murders. The US Dept. of
Education has refused to act. The Members of Congress with investigative
authority have refused to act. Both of these Congressmen were from the same
state which allows its top university to be represented by the types of
attorneys which murders get!! The new Congress elected in 1994 did not act!! Again the key factor is
lack of control of poorly run bureaucracies in academia, Washington and elsewhere!!
The higher education sector is very powerful in terms of money and
influence!! Money Magazine and many others in the media starting with Ellen
Goodman of The Boston Globe have recognized the sacrifice of the student. Yet
the madness goes on!! Few other cases illustrate as well how poorly our legal
system works!! Let me show you in detail how this has been accomplished and
why it is important to all of us!! The US Department of
Education has used the Privacy Part of the Buckley Act to let Universities
cover-up campus crime up to and including murder. In fact a major university
used the type of attorney which murders use in a US Supreme Court test case.
In my opinion this is a great example of how a good law has been perverted by
the US Government. All three members of the US House of Representatives when
the Democrats were in control were from the same state as this University. Let me can recommend Prof
Scam by Charles J. Sykes which goes into some depth about academia and its
pitfalls. In addition I have produced a detailed summary of this important
but poorly understood topic. Supposedly the DOE held
reports were shredded during the early 1980's because of concerns about
atomic veterans claims. Now DOE claims to have never received the relevant
documents. At the author's request the Presidential Science Advisor's Office
was also unable to find the relevant information. This is especially
important for the recent controversy because the origin of the both the
Chinese and North Korean nuclear programs came directly from the Japanese
program. As early as 1983 a book
was published in Japan about the transfer of approx. 150 Japanese technical
specialists to China with new identities and money. The first Chinese program
was based on Japanese methods developed during WW II. The North Korean
program can be traced directly to the Japanese program in terms of opening up
mines, other resources and training of personnel. The underground sites first
developed by Japan have been carried on by North Korea. Both the Chinese and
Korean programs are obvious threats to world peace. Why has the US Government
carried out this suppression of information? There is no national security
information. All of the technical information is available publicly in many places.
Any trade secrets or know-how could be withheld while releasing the basic
information. Despite the decades of controversy concerning Hiroshima,
Nagasaki and the Enola Gay this cover-up has continued. What important story
is being hidden? The continued suppression of important historical
information for no good reason is common in the US Government. It is long
past time that the Imperial Bureaucrats in Washington be brought under
control!! |
