Militarizing Education


Hawaii Island Journal article:

"An obscure clause in the No Child Left Behind Act allows military recruiters to use the schools to harvest students' addresses and phone numbers, unless parents -opt out'—and the 'opt out' forms may not always work."

Honolulu Weeky article:

"The state’s only public institution of higher education has been abuzz (at least electronically) since news that UH administration may develop a U.S. Navy University Affiliated Research Center (UARC) laboratory leaked to the public last November. The UARC proposal, kept somewhat secret since the Navy submitted it to UH administrators in mid-2004, would make UH the country’s fifth university to house such a center under the Department of Defense. The last UARC was opened 60 years ago."

A Star-Bulletin article that I missed in January covers a rally in which "Hawaiian and anti-war protesters assailed the establishment of a military research center at the University of Hawaii."

Ian Lind posts that an open letter against the proposed classified research center that "is now being widely circulated and is drawing significant faculty support."
