BEST DISH: Truffle fries at The Burger Stand
Why it won:
Tossed in truffle butter and parmesan cheese, The Burger Stand's truffle fries are a Lawrence staple. They come served with a smorgasbord of dipping sauces if eating them plain isn't your fancy. If you're worried about the fries not pairing well with your burger or hot dog, rest easy. The truffle fries complement all of The Burger Stand's entrees.
REST BURGER: The Burger Stand
Why it won:
Offering seven types of burgers, ranging from the Classic to the Barnyard Bash, The Burger Stand has a savory burger for everyone. The Burger Stand offers Kobe beef upgrades, as well, for those who like a leaner meat. Unlike fast-food joints, each burger is cooked to order and served with fresh greens.
BEST ON-CAMPUS FOOD: Chick-fil-A
Why it won:
Chick-fil-A takes this category as the University's one-stop shop for down-home Southern cooking. Located in The Underground at Wescoe Hall, Chick-fil-A offers a simple, straightforward menu of Southern-style fried chicken strips, sandwiches, nuggets and more fried goodness.
Interesting facts:
S. Truett Cathy, a devout Southern Baptist, founded Chick-fil-A in Atlanta, Ga., in 1946 Chick-fil-A locations are not open Sundays, which is just fine with us since we don't have class Sundays.
Chick-fil-A was the first fast-food restaurant to adopt a trans-fat free cooking model. Rumor has it that a full Chick-fil-A location will open in Lawrence in the near future.
BEST BREAKFAST: The Roost
Why it won:
The Roost is a haven for brunch lovers. If you're in the mood for something savory and comforting, the biscuits and gravy taste like they're straight from grandma's kitchen. Something a little more on the adventurous side is the Smoked Salmon Benny — you won't be let down with its perfect combination of salty smoked salmon and sweet hollandaise sauce. The Rooster is one of its most popular dishes, offering diners the choice of French toast, pancakes or potato pancakes, two eggs and either bacon or sausage. Open from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily, with lunch starting at 11 a.m. The Roost is guaranteed to have something you can devour. And for those of you who like to accompany your meal with a drink, there are cocktails, bloody marys and wine also available.

The task force of 11 students, staff and faculty members has been reviewing the University's current processes procedures and policies since September, when Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little created the group.
Developing an on-campus sexual assault response team and a center for prevention and education were among top recommendations presented by the Chancellor's Sexual Assault Task Force to the Chancellor and Provost on Friday afternoon.
Gray-Little thanked the task force for the many hours of work and thought they put into the recommendations and said they will all be taken into consideration.
The recommendations are divided into four sections: policy and process improvement; prevention and practices; support and advocacy for student victims of crime; and evaluation of the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities.
"It's not something that we would solve next year or the year after and then it's not an issue," Gray-Little said.
The 43-page final report has an executive summary at the beginning that outlines eight recommendations under policy and process improvements, 11 recommendations under prevention practices, six recommendations under the support and advocacy for student victims of the crime and two recommendations under evaluation of Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities.

In 2011, a student accused Zamir Bavel, a professor of Information Processing Studies at the University, of groping her during a study session at a restaurant. Bavel sued the University in 2012, claiming he was not provided due process before the Faculty Rights Board made its decision in the case. Bavel has not been proven guilty, and the Faculty Rights Board cannot make that charge.

Bavel took the case to a district court, arguing the burden of proof should be on the University, not on himself. The district court said the University had upheld its own policies and procedures and had not violated Bavel's rights.
"We are heartened by the strong dissenting opinion, however, and we are considering our options what they may be at this point."
CURTIS BARNHILL
Zamir Bavel's attourney
The Faculty Rights Board concluded there had been no procedural violations and denied Bavel an evidentiary hearing. In March 2012, he was sanctioned for alleged sexual harassment, including being suspended for

Curtis Barnhill. Bavel's attorney, said he and his client were disappointed by the court's decision.
"We are heartened by the strong dissenting opinion, however, and we are considering our options — what they may be — at this point." Barnhill said. "[...] We feel that there are a number of issues, very troubling issues, that are still out there in this case."
Erinn Barcomb-Peterson, a spokesperson for the University, said in an email Thursday, "The court's ruling speaks for itself."
