Student Se assault tra
Students disciplined in sexual assault cases by the University would have a notation placed in their academic transcripts under a new policy proposal that student government leaders will consider Wednesday night.
The practical effect of this proposal would be that other universities would know if a student applying for transfer or graduate school had previously been suspended or expelled for non-academic misconduct, including sexual assault. Currently, student files at the University do not include mentions of non-academic misconduct, according to KU's online policy.

Student Senate committees are scheduled to discuss a resolution encouraging the Kansas Board of Regents to adopt the new notation policy, which was developed in response to concerns about how the University handles sexual assault. The policy would apply to all Kansas universities under KBOR control.

"We looked at other communities across the nation, and we can't find any other MOUs like this between a university and local law enforcement related specifically to sexual violence." Tim Caboni, vice chancellor for public affairs, said in a statement. "As a community, Lawrence can be proud of the leadership role we are taking on this topic."

KANSAN: What do you do after that education is completed?
LODEM: After completing the 17 years of education in the monastery, we are titled
a monk?
LODEM: To be a monk was much more than what I had thought. Monks have to study a lot. In our monastery, it takes 17 years to complete the course of our monastery. The main focus at our monastery is on the Buddhist philosophy. We used to spend four, five hours a day debating the Buddhist philosophy. In the early morning, we have to memorize the root text, and go to the classes, and hear a lot of different commentaries on that root text, and we have to debate it. We are debating it because the founder of Buddhism, the Buddha, said "Do not accept my word, what I have taught, because of reverence. You should analyze it and debate how the goldsmiths used to analyze gold in the ancient time, by cutting and scratching, and know that it is a pure gold. That, there, is how you should analyze my word. And if you find it suitable, then you can take it. Otherwise, you can discard it."
