A Historical Organization Case Study of the School Employees Retirement Act Of A Historical Organization Case Study of the School Employees Retirement Act of Nebraska and the Class V School Employees Retirement Act of the State of Nebraska by Dawn Lewis A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of The Graduate College of the University of Nebraska In Partial Fulfillment of Requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Education Major: Educational Administration (UNL-UNO) Under the Supervision of Professor Jody Isernhagen Lincoln, Nebraska November, 2015 A Historical Organization Case Study of the School Employees Retirement Act of Nebraska and the Class V School Employees Retirement Act of the State of Nebraska Dawn Lewis, Ed.D. University of Nebraska, 2015 Advisor: Jody Isernhagen The purpose of this study was to create a legislative and actuarial history of the School Employees Retirement Act and the Class V School Employees Retirement Act of the State of Nebraska. These acts define the retirement plans of every public school employee across the state of Nebraska. The case study was conducted by analyzing documents, including legislative journals, session laws, committee hearing and floor debate transcripts, and actuarial reports to create a history of the bills passed by legislators from 1945 until today, and identify the impact they had on the function of the plans. Further information was gathered by identifying current policy shaping individuals and conducting face to face or phone interviews to gather information regarding perceived strengths, weaknesses, and the future of the plans. The result is a historical document that summarizes the many changes the plans have undergone, and to inform current lawmakers of the history of those changes, in an effort to assist in making decisions connected to future legislation. Acknowledgments Without the support of many, this accomplishment would not be a reality. First, this project would not be possible without the direction of my advisor, Dr. Jody Isernhagen. Thank you for keeping me motivated and giving me deadlines, advice, structure, and support. Thank you also to Cindy DeRyke in the EDAD office of UNL for the hours you assisted in making sure the document was properly put together; what an invaluable service! To my mentor superintendent, Pat Osmond, who supported this challenge, even when there was important work to be done as your principal, I thank you. Many times you helped me focus my priorities and balance everything. To the many wonderful educational leaders across the state of Nebraska, who encouraged me, I thank you as well. At every turn there was an encouraging word or an offer to assist. Many would not allow me to get off track, continually reminding me the work was important, but also reminding me that finishing this project was just as important as beginning. For my children, who hope that soon I will be able to leave my computer and papers at home when we take family trips, I thank you. My hope is that someday you recall this effort, and realize that education is vital and valuable throughout your lifetime. You remind me often why I started this work. Finally, to my husband, Clint, for graciously understanding why I had to disengage from family life on many weekends to finish this project, I thank you. You encouraged me to begin this process without fully knowing how irritable it would make me at times, and you have dealt with a lot of extra responsibilities to make it reality. You realize that allowing me to grow in this way is inherently a part of who I am, and you accept that about me. There has rarely been a time in our marriage that I have not been toting around books or talking about writing papers or turning in assignments. Those days are soon to be over. You share in this accomplishment as an equal partner. i Table of Contents Chapter I—Introduction ............................................................................................. 1

  • Accentuating the Positive in Nebraska's GOP Race for Governor
    July 1, 1998 Accentuating the Positive in Nebraska's GOP Race for Governor Bob Wickers Mike Johanns was outspent by $2 million, never mentioned his opponents' names on TV - and won a big primary victory We started the campaign knowing three things: 1) We were going to be considerably outspent by both of our opponents; 2) We were going to build a grassroots organization in all 93 counties throughout Nebraska and 3) We were going to stay positive no matter what. On primary night, Tuesday, May 12th, we stood in a packed hotel ballroom in Lincoln, Nebraska. The room was overflowing with campaign workers, reporters and supporters, all waiting for the imminent arrival of Mike Johanns, whom the Associated Press had just declared the winner in the Republican primary for governor. There were cell phones ringing and reporters going live on the air, and the moment when Mike, his wife Stephanie, and children Michaela and Justin finally walked in, the crowd erupted into cheers and applause that could be heard from Omaha to Scottsbluff. We were reminded of the day when we first met Mike Johanns, more than a year earlier, when this night seemed a long way off. In the spring of 1997, we had traveled to Lincoln to meet Johanns. As the mayor of Lincoln, he had earned respect and accolades for his conservative leadership style and ability to get things done. The city had experienced unprecedented economic growth and enjoyed a AAA bond rating while seeing cuts in property taxes and an increased number of police on the streets.

  • Onto the National Stage
    Onto the National Stage congresswomen in an age of crises, 1935–1954 Thirty-six women entered Congress between 1935 and 1954, a tumultuous two decades that encompassed the Great Depression, World War II, and the start of the Cold War. Women participated in America’s survival, recovery, and ascent to world power in important and unprecedented ways; they became shapers of the welfare state, workers during wartime, and members of the military. During this time the nation’s capital took on increasing importance in the everyday lives of average Americans. The Great Depression and the specter of global war transformed the role of the federal government, making it a provider and protector. Like their male counterparts, women in Congress legislated to provide economic relief to their constituents, debated the merits of government intervention to cure the economy, argued about America’s role in world affairs, and grappled with challenges and opportunities during wartime. Distinct trends persisted from the pioneer generation of women in Congress. Second-generation women still made up only a small fraction of the total congres- sional membership. At their peak, 15 women served in the 83rd Congress Senators Joseph T. Robinson (far left) and Hattie W. Caraway of Arkansas at the June 1936 Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at which President Franklin Roosevelt was nominated to a second term. Caraway was a supporter of the Roosevelt administration’s New Deal economic recovery programs, many of which benefited constituents in her agriculture-based state. image courtesy of the national archives and records administration (1953–1955)—about 2.8 percent.

NORRIS IN THE,1942 . , NEBRASKA SENATORIAL ELECTION Thesis Approved: Dean of the Graduate College ii PREFACE ?fy" purpose in preparing this study is to present an account of the senatorial election of 1942 in Nebraska and significant political trends within the state, and in so doing explain the political background of George W. Norris up to the time of his defeat. The primary campaign and the activities of both the Republican and Democratic senatorial nominees are also a vital part of the paper. The thesis is not, however, intended to be merely a relating of events, but is designed to present an analysis of the defeat of the central figure, George Norris. It is my sincere hope that it will in some way contribute both to a more profound under­ standing of an evolving political pattern in Nebraska and to a greater insight into the political career of George W. Norris, one of America 's most able and dedicated public servants. There are a number of people to whom I would like to express my thanks for their help during the writing and the preparation of this thesis: Dro Jerome Tweton for encouraging me to pursue this particular topic; Dro James Olson, who was instrumental in helping me gain access to the Wherry papers; Eugene Johnson, who allowed me to use t he fa­ cilities of Love Library; and the library staff at Omaha University for their fine cooperation.
