ABSTRACT
The AIDS scare was spreading like wildfire. The AIDS test was included in the mandatory checkup, and the nurse said its results would not affect her application. Inevitably, the university's modernization project clashed with the AIDS scare. God-fearing souls saw this health crisis as deserved retribution for the lavish fruition of sexual pleasure brought about by the liberalism of the previous decade. In several medium-size cities of the United States, the police, encouraged by public outrage, ran campaigns designed to eradicate sexual activities involving an exchange of money and those performed in public spaces. In that AIDS-scare climate, it was easy to pass these cleansing operations as legitimate and necessary. The university's law school had a very good reputation and it could have expressed its outrage against the police behavior. There was ethnic strife in East Africa but no news came because the media was focused on the Gulf War.
