REPORT • August 27, 1982 the Governor Announced in Early August That His Priorities for the ~Oming Fall Session of the Legislature Were Threefold: \ 1 I ,. ,. • Submitted by Charles F. Sturtz, Executive Vice President and Treasurer William E. Lobenherz, Associate Vice President, State Relations STATELEGISLATIVE REPORT • August 27, 1982 The Governor announced in early August that his priorities for the ~oming fall session of the Legislature were threefold: \ 1. Enacting the 1982-83 state budget 2. Legislation to prescribe a remedy for the $2+ billion liability to the federal government which has been incurred by the State UnemploymentCompensation Fund 3. Enacting a program to enhance funding for comprehensive public transportation and highway maintenance 1981-82 Executive Order As a result of continued deterioration in the state's current year budget, however, legislative and executive attention shifted during the latter part of August to discussions on the need for yet another executive order reduction in state appropriations for 1981-82. At the time of this writing, the execu­ tive office is considering cuts in 1981-82 appropriations of the following magnitude: Colleges and universities $ 32. 0 mi11 ion • Communityco 11 eges 7 .0 mi11 ion K-12 School Aid 72.3 mi11ion Local Governments 38. 7 mi11 ion $150.0 million Such reductions have been strongly opposed by all affected groups. Legisla­ tors currently are discussing potential alternatives. A reduction of the abO\.'e magnitude for higher education would translate into a cut of approximately $5 million for WayneState University. An official executive order reduction proposal is tentatively scheduled to be presented to the House and Senate Appropriations Committees on September 1, 1982. 1982-83 State Appropriations The timing and extent of a 1981-82 executive order will have a direct impact on the size and timing of final legislative action on the 1982-83 state budget. House appropriations subcommittees met during August to revise the Senate­ passed budget to enable quick House action shortly after the Legislature recon- venes on August 30. The budget bills then would be referred to joint con- ference committees where the major budget decisions would be made. House subcommittee action on WayneState's budget is as follows: Operating Appropriations - The House Appropriations Subcom­ • mittee on Higher Education has adopted a 1982-83 budget for BOARDOF GOVERNORS AGENDA SEPTEMBER10, 1982 - ,-... A - 2 - colleges. and universities which contains a $36 million increase over 1981-82 adjusted base levels. Each institu­ tion received a 5% increase in recommendedappropriations. For WayneState, the substitute bill of the House Subcom­ mittee would increase the current $99.4 million 1981-82 • adjusted base appropriation to $104.4 million--an amount which could be subject to substantial downwardrevision during Conference Committee action. The House substitute does not contain amounts to repay the $7.4 million to WayneState deferred in Executive Order 1982-4. This amount is contained in a separate House-passed bill which awaits Senate action. Capital Outlay Appropriations - The House Subcommittee of the Appropriations Joint Capital Outlay Subcommittee approved the inclusion of WayneState's two building projects in the 1982-83 capital outlay appropriations bill as follows: WSUEngineering Building Renovation/Addition - $200,000 to complete plans and begin construction WSUMackenzie Hall Renovation - $500~000 to com­ plete plans and begin construction Similar to House subcommittee action on the 1982-83 opera­ ting budget, this action offers no real assurance that such amounts will be included in the final version of the 1982-83 capital outlay bill. Conference Committee deliberations on the bill will include significant discussion as to whether • the state should commit in 1982-83 new university projects which are not already in the process of actual construction.

PRIMARYELECTION RESULTS OF STATELEGISLATIVE RACES House of Representatives Almost 40%of the current 110 membersof the Michigan House of Represent­ atives will not be returning to the lower chamber next year. Of the 41 • memberswho will not be returning, ten have decided to retire, twenty ran for Senate seats, six lost to other incumbents with whomthey were paired as a result of reapportionment, two lost to nonincumbents, and three races between incumbents will be decided in November. At least five of the eighteen membersof the House Appropriations Commit­ tee will not be returning to the House in January. Joseph Conroy (0-Flint) and Robert Welborn (R-Kalamazoo)are running for Senate seats. Leo Lalonde (0-East Detroit) ran for the Senate but was defeated by incumbent Senator Gilbert DiNello (0-East Detroit). Joyce Symons(D-Allen Park) and Frank Wierzbicki (D-Detroit) were victims of reapportionment, losing to incumbent Representatives Jeffrey Padden CD-Wyandotte)and Matthew McNeely(0- Detroit), respectively. A sixth memberof the Appropriations Committee, Gary Vanek (0-Royal Oak), will face Shirley Johnson (R-Royal Oak) in the Novembergeneral election. State Senate Also in the Senate, at least 40%of the seats will not be occupied by incumbent senators next year (16 out of 38). Five senators are retiring, seven sought other elective offices, three lost primary battles, and two will compete in a single district in November. Manyof the new senators will not necessarily be new faces, however, since current House members or former legislators are involved in the Novemberelection in all but one • of the sixteen open districts.

  • Working Mothers and the Postponement of Women's
    SUK_FINAL PROOF_REDLINE.DOCX (DO NOT DELETE) 3/13/2021 4:13 AM WORKING MOTHERS AND THE POSTPONEMENT OF WOMEN’S RIGHTS FROM THE NINETEENTH AMENDMENT TO THE EQUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT JULIE C. SUK* The Nineteenth Amendment’s ratification in 1920 spawned new initiatives to advance the status of women, including the proposal of another constitutional amendment that would guarantee women equality in all legal rights, beyond the right to vote. Both the Nineteenth Amendment and the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) grew out of the long quest to enshrine women’s equal status under the law as citizens, which began in the nineteenth century. Nearly a century later, the ERA remains unfinished business with an uncertain future. Suffragists advanced different visions and strategies for women’s empowerment after they got the constitutional right to vote. They divided over the ERA. Their disagreements, this Essay argues, productively postponed the ERA, and reshaped its meaning over time to be more responsive to the challenges women faced in exercising economic and political power because they were mothers.

Huge thanks to Saul Cornell, Deborah Dinner, Vicki Jackson, Michael Klarman, Jill Lepore, Suzette Malveaux, Jane Manners, Sara McDougall, Paula Monopoli, Jed Shugerman, Reva Siegel, and Kirsten Swinth. Their comments and reactions to earlier iterations of this project conjured this Essay into existence. This Essay began as a presentation of disconnected chunks of research for my book, WE THE WOMEN: THE UNSTOPPABLE MOTHERS OF THE EQUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT (2020) , but the conversations generated by law school audiences nudged me to write a separate essay to explore more thoroughly how the story of suffragists’ ERA dispute after the Nineteenth Amendment affects the future of constitutional lawmaking.

  • Cultural Anthropology Through the Lens of Wikipedia: Historical Leader Networks, Gender Bias, and News-Based Sentiment
    Cultural Anthropology through the Lens of Wikipedia: Historical Leader Networks, Gender Bias, and News-based Sentiment Peter A. Gloor, Joao Marcos, Patrick M. de Boer, Hauke Fuehres, Wei Lo, Keiichi Nemoto [email protected] MIT Center for Collective Intelligence Abstract In this paper we study the differences in historical World View between Western and Eastern cultures, represented through the English, the Chinese, Japanese, and German Wikipedia. In particular, we analyze the historical networks of the World’s leaders since the beginning of written history, comparing them in the different Wikipedias and assessing cultural chauvinism. We also identify the most influential female leaders of all times in the English, German, Spanish, and Portuguese Wikipedia. As an additional lens into the soul of a culture we compare top terms, sentiment, emotionality, and complexity of the English, Portuguese, Spanish, and German Wikinews. 1 Introduction Over the last ten years the Web has become a mirror of the real world (Gloor et al. 2009). More recently, the Web has also begun to influence the real world: Societal events such as the Arab spring and the Chilean student unrest have drawn a large part of their impetus from the Internet and online social networks. In the meantime, Wikipedia has become one of the top ten Web sites1, occasionally beating daily newspapers in the actuality of most recent news. Be it the resignation of German national soccer team captain Philipp Lahm, or the downing of Malaysian Airlines flight 17 in the Ukraine by a guided missile, the corresponding Wikipedia page is updated as soon as the actual event happened (Becker 2012.

  • Women in the United States Congress: 1917-2012
    Women in the United States Congress: 1917-2012 Jennifer E. Manning Information Research Specialist Colleen J. Shogan Deputy Director and Senior Specialist November 26, 2012 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL30261 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Women in the United States Congress: 1917-2012 Summary Ninety-four women currently serve in the 112th Congress: 77 in the House (53 Democrats and 24 Republicans) and 17 in the Senate (12 Democrats and 5 Republicans). Ninety-two women were initially sworn in to the 112th Congress, two women Democratic House Members have since resigned, and four others have been elected. This number (94) is lower than the record number of 95 women who were initially elected to the 111th Congress. The first woman elected to Congress was Representative Jeannette Rankin (R-MT, 1917-1919, 1941-1943). The first woman to serve in the Senate was Rebecca Latimer Felton (D-GA). She was appointed in 1922 and served for only one day. A total of 278 women have served in Congress, 178 Democrats and 100 Republicans. Of these women, 239 (153 Democrats, 86 Republicans) have served only in the House of Representatives; 31 (19 Democrats, 12 Republicans) have served only in the Senate; and 8 (6 Democrats, 2 Republicans) have served in both houses. These figures include one non-voting Delegate each from Guam, Hawaii, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Currently serving Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) holds the record for length of service by a woman in Congress with 35 years (10 of which were spent in the House).

  • The Democratic Party and the Transformation of American Conservatism, 1847-1860
    PRESERVING THE WHITE MAN’S REPUBLIC: THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF AMERICAN CONSERVATISM, 1847-1860 Joshua A. Lynn A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: Harry L. Watson William L. Barney Laura F. Edwards Joseph T. Glatthaar Michael Lienesch © 2015 Joshua A. Lynn ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Joshua A. Lynn: Preserving the White Man’s Republic: The Democratic Party and the Transformation of American Conservatism, 1847-1860 (Under the direction of Harry L. Watson) In the late 1840s and 1850s, the American Democratic party redefined itself as “conservative.” Yet Democrats’ preexisting dedication to majoritarian democracy, liberal individualism, and white supremacy had not changed. Democrats believed that “fanatical” reformers, who opposed slavery and advanced the rights of African Americans and women, imperiled the white man’s republic they had crafted in the early 1800s. There were no more abstract notions of freedom to boundlessly unfold; there was only the existing liberty of white men to conserve. Democrats therefore recast democracy, previously a progressive means to expand rights, as a way for local majorities to police racial and gender boundaries. In the process, they reinvigorated American conservatism by placing it on a foundation of majoritarian democracy. Empowering white men to democratically govern all other Americans, Democrats contended, would preserve their prerogatives. With the policy of “popular sovereignty,” for instance, Democrats left slavery’s expansion to territorial settlers’ democratic decision-making.
