            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!!
