News 2A - Monday, October 27, 2008 The Michigan Daily - michigandailycom 6 No more Internet for illegal downloaders PUMPKIN PARTY Bowling Green University has started banning InternetaccesA to students who' engage in illegal file sharing, the BG News reported. Students caught using programs like Limewire will have their Internet sus- pended for 24hours for a first violation, two weeks for a second and a semester for the third. The policy is in responseto a notice sent by the Recording Industry Association of America last year citing 658 detected cases of illegal file sharing. "That was number 55 in the nation, number two in the state of Ohio," said Matt Haschak, director of Bowling Green's ITS security. "That raised our awareness of how rampant this was." THE BLACK CADAVER MARKET The former director of the cadaver program at the University of California at Los Angeles pleaded guilty last week after being charged with one count of conspiracy to commit grand theft for selling body parts to medical and drug research companies, the Associated Press reported. The charge included a special accusation for damaging and destroying more than $1 million of school property. Henry Reid faces a sentence of up to four years and four months in a state prison. He will cooperate in the trial of the co-defendant, Ernest Nelson - the transporter of the bodies - and will repay up to $1 million to the University. Nelson has pleaded not guilty because he thought he was acting with the Uni- versity's permission. UNIVERSITY OF MYSPACE? A new University built around online social networks is set to open next year, the Chronicle of Higher Education said. P2P University, short for peer-to- peer, was started by five academics from around the world. The courseswill cater to professionals looking to refresh their knowledge on certain topics and retir- ees interested in keeping up to date. The University won't grant credit or seek accreditation, but it will encourage stu- dents to pursue this through other col- legesviaindependents studies. Students would set up online profiles similar to those on Facebook, allowing them to communicate with the volun- teer professors and other students. ENDOWMENT EROSION The University of Maryland's endow- ment fell 15 percent since the beginning of the year, the Diamondback reported. There has also been a slowing of dona- tions to the University. Only $15 million in donations has been raised, compared to $20 million at this time last year. Brodie Remington, Maryland's fund- raising overseer, attributes these chang- es to the economic climate. Remington said despite the endow- ment's drop from $420 million to $357 million, he believes. the University's long-term investments won't suffer. "You build a little cushion," he said. "So when you drop, you don't like it, but it's OK."
