AMHERST, Mass. – Amherst College has responded to a raunchy wrongful-dismissal lawsuit by describing its allegations – that a supervisor urged female teaching assistants to have sex with students to boost enrollment in Spanish classes – as "frivolous," and by asserting that the lecturer who sued was legitimately let go.
The allegations, if true, echo previous instances involving using sex to charm athletes into joining collegiate teams and speak to the increasingly prevalent attitudes towards on-campus sex as commonplace and nothing special.
BOSTON – If you plan to vote in the March 1 presidential primary in Massachusetts, the deadline to register, Feb. 10, is coming up fast.
Voters who previously registered but didn't respond to the annual street list mailing from their city or town clerk may find themselves on the inactive voter list on election day. In that case, voters must show identification or other document to confirm they still live at the registered address or to update their current address.
