2. CONFISCATION OF CELL PHONES ON SCHOOL SHABBATONS Is it fair for faculty to take students’ phones before shabbat? Lack of basic trust, or just necessary? What should the cell phone policy be for future shabbatons/ school trips?

3. RAY RICE – INCIDENT In February 2014, RB Ray Rice was caught on video dragging his fiancé out of a hotel elevator, unconscious. The footage was aired by TMZ.

4. RAY RICE - AFTERMATH Rice initially received a 2-game suspension from the league commissioner after the original footage came out Later on another video, showing Rice hitting his Fiancé inside the elevator, became public.

5. HE’S BACK… ALMOST Rice appealed the indefinite suspension and recently won, reinstating him into the NFL. He could theoretically be signed by any team at this time. Yesterday on NBC Rice spoke about his hopes to return to the NFL: http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/nfl- controversy/exclusive-ray-rice-says-he-hopes- second-chance-n259371 http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/nfl- controversy/exclusive-ray-rice-says-he-hopes- second-chance-n259371

6. QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER Should someone’s personal life affect his/her profession? What kind of responsibility does Ray Rice have to his fans? Do celebrities have a responsibility to act morally? Should Rice be treated any differently because his professional career is on such a public scale? Should NFL teams refrain from signing Ray Rice? Is fair for the NFL to punish him (or any other player) when the law finds him not guilty?
