Tuesday on The Conversation11/21/2006 1:00p.m.  Olympia Considers Civility Laws - Do They Work In Seattle?Audio available at 2:05 p.m. Tonight the Olympia City Council is holding a hearing on a proposed law to make it a crime to sit down on the sidewalk. Fierce opposition is expected. These so-called civility statutes are designed to get homeless people to move along. Do they work? Or do they just harm the homeless? Seattle already has civility statutes, pushed by former City Attorney Mark Sidran. What lessons does the Seattle experience have for Olympia and other cities enacting civility laws? Also today, a new study called Engines of Inequality says there’s less opportunity at the nation’s premier public universities for low income and minority students. The study, which includes the University of Washington, says major public university policies contribute to inequality. UW recently proposed free tuition for five thousand needy students. Does that fix the inequality problem? Call The Conversation feedback line, (206) 221-3663 or email conversation@kuow.org during air time, 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. (PT)
