Mission Statement Consistent with its Catholic identity and Mercy heritage, Mercyhurst University educates women and men in a culture where faith and reason flourish together, where beauty and power of the liberal arts combine with an appreciation for the dignity of work and a commitment to serving others. Confident in the strength of its student-faculty bonds, the university community is inspired by the image of students whose choices, in life and work, will enable them to realize the human and spiritual values embedded in everyday realities and to exercise leadership in service toward a just world. Core Values We are… Socially Merciful, Mercy restores human dignity, expands our social relations, and empowers us to reach out in compassion to others. Globally responsible, Globalization challenges us to learn how to steward the resources of the Earth wisely and to act in solidarity with its diverse peoples. Compassionately hospitable, Mercy hospitality begins with self-acceptance, welcomes peoples of different faith, ethnic, and cultural traditions, and thus builds communities that transcend mere tolerance. Intellectually Creative, Generous, inquiring, and critical habits of mind, which support the aspirations for excellence manifested within the academic community, encourage us in our lifelong search for what is true, good, and beautiful. Reflectively Aware, Our Christian environment encourages self-reflection and contemplation of human behavior, promotes balance of mind, body, and spirit, and ultimately offers the opportunity to develop a moral compass for a life of integrity.

    This edition of the Daily News Roundup is provided by AICUP. November 18, 2020 Mercyhurst University honors veterans with a new program and a week of observance Fifty large American flags, affixed to 6-foot-high poles, line the boulevard as visitors enter Mercyhurst University's East 38th Street main gate in Erie. The striking visual is an annual Veterans Day-week fixture at a school ranked as among the "Best Colleges for Veterans" in the northern region of the U.S. by U.S. News & World Report. Gannon to project 'Love Notes' performances on campus theater building Gannon University's Schuster Theatre will project its next production on the theater building at 620 Sassafras St. Projected performances of "Love Notes" begin at 8 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Alvernia University is reducing food waste by helping hungry students Alvernia University and its campus foodservice provider, Aladdin, are partnering to help students in need of hot meals while simultaneously reducing food waste. Aladdin is converting food shrink left over from Alvernia's dining hall — that's excess prepared food that never left the kitchen — into frozen meals students can reheat later. LECOM Health Opens Second COVID-19 Unit in Response to Surging Cases The new unit enables LECOM Health to expand post-acute care to COVID-19 patients and can accommodate up to 50 individuals. In March, a post-acute care unit at LECOM Nursing and Rehabilitation Center (LNR) opened in anticipation of a surge in coronavirus patients. As of Monday, that unit is near capacity, which led to the decision to open a second unit.

Gerzog* At least 4.4 million families in the United States are blended ones that include stepchildren and stepparents. For tax purposes, these "steps" receive preferential treatment as a result of their status because, on the one hand, they are treated as family members for many income tax benefit sections, but on the other hand, are excluded from the definition offamily member for business entity attribution pur­ poses and for gift and estate tax anti-abuse provisions. In the interests offairness and uniformity, steps should be treated as family members for all tax purposes where they act like their biological or adoptive counterparts, regardless of whether such treatment would decrease or increase their tax burden.

  • Arc 2633C Revenue Department[701]
    ARC 2633C REVENUE DEPARTMENT[701] Adopted and Filed Pursuant to the authority of Iowa Code section 421.14, the Department of Revenue hereby amends Chapter 86, “Inheritance Tax,” Iowa Administrative Code. These amendments are necessary to implement 2015 Iowa Acts, chapter 125, which simplified the language of Iowa Code section 450.9, specified that descendants by adoption are included in the meaning of “lineal descendants” for the purposes of that section, and added lineal descendants of stepchildren to the list of people entitled to the exemption from inheritance tax. The Department hereby amends its rules relating to inheritance taxes in order to reflect those changes. Where references in the rules mirror the prior language of Iowa Code section 450.9, the amendments reflect the new language of that section instead. References that exclude lineal descendants of stepchildren from the exemption are amended, and, where appropriate, explanations are added as to which ascendants and descendants do, and which do not, qualify for the exemption under the new language of the Iowa Code. Some examples in the rules are amended to maintain consistency with the new language of the Iowa Code. Notice of Intended Action was published in the Iowa Administrative Bulletin as ARC 2546C on May 25, 2016. No public comments were received in relation to this rule making. After the Notice was published, a Department of Revenue employee noticed an error unrelated to the legislation that these amendments were intended to implement in Schedule E in paragraph 86.2(2)“d.” Schedule E states that the tax described in that schedule is imposed on amounts over $500.
