  • Can We Still Talk Things Out?: a Case Study of Campus Hate Speech Regulations at the University of Texas
    Can We Still Talk Things Out?: A Case Study of Campus Hate Speech Regulations at the University of Texas ARI HERBERT† There’s a lot of ugly things in this world, son. I wish I could keep ‘em all away from you. That’s never possible. - Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird INTRODUCTION Intolerance is a persisting issue. The meme “Pepe the Frog” became a common racist and anti-Semitic symbol in the last year, with captions like “kill Jews, man.”1 But this is not a purely American issue either. Local French law tried to ban “modest swimwear.”2 “[F]rom July 2014 to July 2015, in the United Kingdom, there were more than 800 anti-Muslim hate crimes in London. By November 2015, when the terror attacks in Paris occurred, there were 878 reported anti-Muslim attacks in that city alone. Additionally, in Germany, the number of racially motivated attacks [was] higher than any year since the end of World War II.”3 This article focuses on hate particularly as it manifests itself as speech on American university campuses. Specifically, this article turns to recent incidents on and the response by the University of Texas at Austin. The aim in this case study is to analyze how universities may try to preserve speech while simultaneously fostering an inclusive and productive environment— surely a legitimate prerogative.4 In Part I of this article, I explain the recent hate speech incidents at the University of Texas and the University’s response. In Part II, I assess the constitutional issues in the University’s responses, and I identify a potential future difficulty that the University may have to face.

  • How White Supremacy Returned to Mainstream Politics
    GETTY CORUM IMAGES/SAMUEL How White Supremacy Returned to Mainstream Politics By Simon Clark July 2020 WWW.AMERICANPROGRESS.ORG How White Supremacy Returned to Mainstream Politics By Simon Clark July 2020 Contents 1 Introduction and summary 4 Tracing the origins of white supremacist ideas 13 How did this start, and how can it end? 16 Conclusion 17 About the author and acknowledgments 18 Endnotes Introduction and summary The United States is living through a moment of profound and positive change in attitudes toward race, with a large majority of citizens1 coming to grips with the deeply embedded historical legacy of racist structures and ideas. The recent protests and public reaction to George Floyd’s murder are a testament to many individu- als’ deep commitment to renewing the founding ideals of the republic. But there is another, more dangerous, side to this debate—one that seeks to rehabilitate toxic political notions of racial superiority, stokes fear of immigrants and minorities to inflame grievances for political ends, and attempts to build a notion of an embat- tled white majority which has to defend its power by any means necessary. These notions, once the preserve of fringe white nationalist groups, have increasingly infiltrated the mainstream of American political and cultural discussion, with poi- sonous results. For a starting point, one must look no further than President Donald Trump’s senior adviser for policy and chief speechwriter, Stephen Miller. In December 2019, the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Hatewatch published a cache of more than 900 emails2 Miller wrote to his contacts at Breitbart News before the 2016 presidential election.

  • 55 Model Platform Sharing Economy Di Indonesia Study Kasus
    Model Platform Sharing Economy di Indonesia Study Kasus: Unicorn Lokal Prayogi R. Saputra Universitas Islam Raden Rahmat, Indonesia, [email protected] Nur Hayatin Universitas Muhammadiyah Malang, Indonesia, [email protected] Abstract The sharing economy platform is a concept that is not yet stable and will continue to grow. This is evidenced by the various types of sharing economy platforms developed, especially in Indonesia. Many applications are made, but there are only a few applications that succeed in their business even reaching the Unicorn. They are Gojek, Traveloka, Tokopedia and Bukalapak. This study answers the question of how a typology of economic models sharing platforms in Indonesia is successful by taking the four unicorns as objects. The basic model of sharing economy used consists of four models taking into account the level of company control over participants and the level of competition between participants. Typology was developed through analysis of qualitative data obtained by observing the 4 Unicorn application which became the most successful platform in terms of user acquisition, active users, and transaction volumes. The theoretical contribution of this research is the sharing economic categorization model in Indonesia, considering that there is no research that presents the generic typology as intended. While the practical contribution is to provide a reference for beginners and investors about sharing economic models that are relevant for the Indonesian market. From the results of this study, we will know the typology model of a sharing economic platform that is developing in Indonesia, so it is expected to be a reference for business development towards the industrial revolution era 4.0.

  • Racially Diverse Schools Create Academic and Social Benefits to White Children That Better Prepare Them for the Multicultural World in Which They Will Live and Work
    THE WHITE INTEREST IN SCHOOL INTEGRATION Robert A. Garda, Jr.* Abstract Discussions concerning desegregation, affirmative action, and voluntary integration focus primarily, if not exclusively, on whether such policies harm or benefit minorities. Scant attention is paid to the benefits whites receive in multiracial schools, despite white interests underpinning more than thirty years of Supreme Court integration jurisprudence. In this Article, I explore the academic and social benefits whites receive in multiracial schools, and I do so from a white parent‘s perspective. The Article begins by describing the interest-convergence theory and how white interests explain the course and content of the Supreme Court‘s desegregation and affirmative action jurisprudence. Multiracial schools will not be created or sustained unless white parents believe it to be in their children‘s best interest. The Article next describes the extreme racial segregation in schools today and how white children are the most racially isolated students. This isolation exacerbates the unconscious and automatic racial bias that infects everyone and will impair white children‘s ability to successfully navigate the multicultural marketplace. Integrated schools, however, help de-bias white children and teach them cross-cultural competence, a skill they need to effectively participate in a market with increasingly multicultural customers, co-workers, and global business partners. The Article ends by describing steps white parents can take to effectively integrate schools and

The Rise of Monopolistic Rideshare Companies in Asia: How Ride Hailing Companies’ Market Control Impacts Drivers Abstract Having undergone mergers with Uber China and Uber Southeast Asia in the past few years, DiDi and Grab now hold over 90% and 80% of the market shares in China and Singapore. This market control has allowed them to dominate the rideshare industry in the two countries, and this paper examines the impact of Grab and DiDi’s monopolistic power on rideshare drivers. Specifically, this research considers changes to both licensure requirements, pricing policies, commission rates, insurance coverage, and CSR programs as well as long-term corporate objectives and strategies following the merger. In order to understand the implications of DiDi and Grab’s decrease in competition and greater market control, this research draws from existing scholarly research, DiDi and Grab’s policies and terms of use, news articles, reports, government documents, and most importantly, qualitative interviews with employees at DiDi and Grab.
