Lawrence nears Fair Trade certification
MAEGAN BULL

Lawrence has met all the requirements to receive Fair Trade certification and will be the first town to receive the certification in Kansas after the city commission issues a proclamation supporting Fair Trade. The committee is just waiting for it to be added to the agenda. This certification will allow Lawrence to be added to the Fair Trade Campaign list.
Scott Stutler, general manager of Ten Thousand Villages in Lawrence, said the committee has already received confirmation from a couple of the commissioners of their support.
Artists sell fair trade goods on Wescoe Beach last year. Lawrence has met the requirements to be the first Kansas town to receive Fair Trade certification.

The Fair Trade Campaign is a campaign dedicated to "recogniz[ing] towns, colleges, universities, schools and congregations in the U.S. for embedding Fair Trade practices and principles into policy, as well as the social and intellectual foundations of their communities," according to the Fair Trade Campaign website.
In order for a town to receive Fair Trade certification, it must meet certain requirements and form a Fair Trade committee, Stutler said.
"Lawrence had pretty much met all the requirements based on the fact that Lawrence is the town that it is," Stutler said. "It really supports the idea of fair trade."
ports the idea of fair trade." Based on Lawrence's population, there had to be 17 business that offered at least two Fair Trade items. Most towns that try to become Fair Trade certified have to convince businesses to sell Fair Trade goods, whereas
Lawrence had already met all the requirements, Stuttler said.
In 2006, Media, Penn., was the first community to receive Fair Trade certification. Since then, 34 more towns have been added to the list, with Alexandria, Va., being
the most recent.
According to its mission statement, Fair Trade Campaign's "commitment will inspire others to support the Fair Trade movement in its efforts to seek equity in trade and create opportunities for economically and socially marginalized producers. Fair Trade Towns, Colleges, Universities and other communities embed Fair Trade values and purchases into mainstream business and institutional practices."

There have been 65 sexual assault complaints and 39 sexual harassment complaints reported to the Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access since the beginning of the year, as of Nov. 5.
The University defines harassment complaints as unwelcome behavior, including physical contact, comments and advances through intermediary devices, like a text or email, or in person. Assault complaints include stalking, sexual assault, sexual battery, domestic violence and dating violence.
OTHER UPDATES:
The KU Public Safety Office and the IOA office were informed of an incident of sexual battery that occurred
Sunday morning between 3:30 a.m. and 5 a.m. in Jayhawker Towers. According to Erinn Barcomb-Peterson, the director of news and media relations, no official report has been filed with either office or the police.
Kappa Sigma remains on suspension while the University continues investigations into alleged sexual assault reports from Sept. 28. The suspension could last through December, according to the letter sent to Kappa Sigma from Joshua Jones in the Student Conduct office.
John Harris Jossie and William Noah McCoy, a University student, were each charged with one count of felony rape after two women made reports to the KU Public Safety Office. Their preliminary hearings are set
CORRECTION
An article on Oct. 23 about a same-sex marriage debate at the Dole Institute of Politics in
correctly attributed a photo from the event to a Kansan reporter. The photo was contributed by the Dole Institute of Politics.
The University is currently one of 85 schools under federal investigation by the Office of Civil Rights. This means that at least one person filed a complaint to the Office of Civil Rights about how the University handled a report of sexual assault or harassment. This investigation has not started in an official capacity and it could be months before the policies and procedures are reviewed by federal investigators.

Professor Zamir Bavel is still waiting on the Kansas Court of Appeals to consider his case, which claims that because he was denied a hearing before being punished for allegedly groping a student, his rights were violated.
