TAKE BACK OUR CAMPUS!: The End of the SLU GOP?
Throughout the history of politics and journalism, many changes in the political landscape that we know were initiated by leakage. Just think about it, if you will, for a moment: the Pentagon Papers, or Deep Throat and creep. These leaks fundamentally changed the politics and journalism, and their relationship to each other in the United States, forever. In the case of most large leaks, there is an ethical question that is always present: if the reporter knows that the information he / she receives an anonymous source may have been illegally obtained, can it still be published - that is, is it ethical to do so?Or maybe a better question is, is it always desirable to publish it? The answer to the first question is, so far, yes, it is legal, as Bartnicki v. Vopper (532 U.S. __, 121 S. Ct. 1753 (2001)), Smith v. Daily Mail Publishing Co. (443 U.S. 97, 102 (1979)), and New York Times v. United States (U.S. 403,713 (1971)) have set up. However, when is it desirable to do so? Law Centre of the student press, referring to Bartnicki v.Vopper, said: "The holding of Bartnicki paid particular attention to the interest of disseminating information about public issues and its relation to the privacy of individuals. In this case, the Court ruled in favor of "free and full dissemination of information regarding public information. "" We think this is just a qualification, and that's what we have taken into consideration when weighing the following story, "The End of the GOP SLU." Many prominent members of the GOP SLU (also known as the republicans SLU) has also held elected positions in Thelmo, student government of St. Lawrence.It is our belief that all public figures should be held to high standards of conduct, so if and when these figures engage in a highly illegal, and in some cases lied about their involvement in such activity, it is in the best interest of the public - in this case, their constituents - ie. It is also in the best interest of the public for students to understand the social environment dangerous they can now come into joining the GOP SLU. In fact, it is their right to know. In this spirit, we bring you the following story.Our source for it, a GOP member of the SLU, we provided the information that appears to have been legally obtained.
