Last week, the ASSU Undergraduate Senate passed a bill to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the Armenian genocide of 1915. Calling this event �the first genocide of the 20th century,� the bill draws a connection between the Armenian genocide and �the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the Darfur region of the Sudan.� Genocide is an important and timely issue that the Stanford community should be aware of, but that doesn�t mean the Senate was right to pass a bill on it."
