Volunteers needed for second round of meningitis vaccine clinics

Volunteers are needed to help with the second in a series of meningitis vaccine clinics being held on the UO campus to inoculate students against the potentially deadly infection.

The next clinic will be May 12-14 from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Matthew Knight Arena. Students will be given the second in a series of three shots with the Trumenba vaccine.

Volunteers are needed for three daily shifts: 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. People are urged to sign up for one or more shifts.

New book by philosophy professor Naomi Zack tackles black rights

Discussions on white privilege distract from the real issues raised by racial profiling in American policing, according to one of the key claims in a new book by University of Oregon philosophy professor Naomi Zack.

In “White Privilege and Black Rights,” released in April, Zack challenges conventional wisdom, attempting to shift the focus from white privilege to the way the rights of African-Americans are violated with racial profiling and police homicide, a theory Zack calls applicative justice.
