I would like to make a clarification to an erroneous statement made by TCU Judiciary member Jake Resnicow in Friday's Daily ("Resnicow to direct next year's judiciary," April 15) regarding the Tufts Judicial Advocacy Program. As the current Advocacy Chair and creator of the Advocacy Program, I have been working closely with the Dean of Students and Judicial Affairs Office in order to make this program a success. Without the training and expertise of Deans Reitman and Carter, this program would still be nothing more than an idea on paper.
In my Advocacy Reports, not once have I mentioned that the administration is "reluctant," as Resnicow stated, to have an advocacy program. On the contrary, the Deans have given their full support to the project and would like to see it become a permanent fixture on the Tufts campus. Had Resnicow attended any of the trainings, he would have clearly seen that himself.
