The three initiatives to the people on the November statewide ballot reflect the state of the process in present-day Washington: These are initiatives to the people, not by the people. All three were either written or underwritten by monied or organized interests, and all three reflect an agenda being pursued by those interests. Putting that aside, the Yakima Herald-Republic editorial board evaluated all three on their merits. They are Initiative 1125, aimed at highway tolling; Initiative 1163, reinstating background checks and training for long-term care workers and providers; and Initiative 1183, privatization of liquor sales. The Herald-Republic makes the following recommendations:

Oregon's Death With Dignity Act -- twice approved by voters, upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court and packed with safeguards to prevent misuse -- has protected a private, personal choice for more than a decade. It is an exquisite example of when and how government should stay out of our lives. The act has directly affected relatively few people (341 have died under the act's terms in 10- plus years), and there has been no instance of abuse of the law. For years The Columbian has praised this act and urged our state to allow terminally ill, suffering people to choose to end their lives. Now Washingtonians have that chance with Initiative 1000, one of three statewide measures in the Nov. 4 election (ballots will be mailed Wednesday).

Before we get caught up in the 2012 election -- the New Hampshire primary is less than two months away -- we'll take one last look at the results from the 2011 general election: Yep, there's good money in booze. Costco views its $22 million campaign in favor of Initiative 1183 as an investment that will pay off handsomely in the long run. Costco wrote the initiative, gathered the signatures and conducted the campaign in favor of privatizing the state's liquor retail, wholesale and distribution systems. Out-of-state distributors funded much of the $12 million opposition campaign.

In Fall 2010, I became one of the first tenured professors in the nation to hold a deanship dedicated exclusively to diversity in a school of law. As the Associate Dean of Institutional Diversity and Inclusiveness at the University of Denver’s Sturm College of Law ("SCOL"), I am charged with strengthening access to the legal academy, particularly among, but not limited to, students and faculty of color. This Essay describes the evolution of my role and the seven principles that currently guide student pipeline and recruitment efforts at the SCOL. These principles help the SCOL focus those efforts, work strategically, and increase the likelihood that desired outcomes will be achieved. I conclude by offering three examples of efforts undertaken by the SCOL in the first six months of my se...
