Stetson in the News Stetson In the News September 29-October 5 Top Stories Stetson University, along with five other universities, won EC-Council's Academic Circle of Excellence award, as reported by multiple news outlets. The award recognizes excellence in cybersecurity education, with the criteria being the commitment to educate and make a difference in the cybersecurity workforce, student feedback on EC-Council courses and faculty, evaluation reports post class, student engagement, ratio of students who move on to test out on EC-Council certifications, volume of students educated in cybersecurity, and continuous program development. Valrie Chambers, CPA, Ph.D., associate professor of accounting, edited the article, "Filing 'optional' partnership return costly," in The Tax Advisor. The article began: "Married couples that jointly own a business often by default choose to treat the business as a partnership, which requires the business to file a partnership return. However, in many cases, treating the business as a partnership and filing partnership returns is optional. A recent Tax Court case highlights how a married couple's choice to treat a co-owned business as a partnership can work to their detriment." Jason Evans, Ph.D., associate professor of environmental science and studies at Stetson, was quoted in the Daytona Beach News-Journal article, "Did a warming climate make Florence worse? Maybe, scientists say." Evans was posed the question, "Can Florence's impacts — especially the up to three feet of rain over three days — be directly linked to a warming climate and rising seas?" His response: "There's an active debate. Of course, everyone wants to know the answer. There are scientists who say you can do the attribution and scientists who say you can't." The article’s conclusion: "Practitioners must use their professional judgment when presented with a new business operation that is owned by a married couple. A careful weighing of the potential risks and rewards when advising whether to prepare a separate partnership tax return is important." Christopher Ferguson, Ph.D., professor of psychology, was quoted in the article "More Evidence Video Games May Trigger Aggression in Kids." Ferguson said: "Every parent knows their kid best. They have to use their best judgment." Law Professor Rebecca C. Morgan wrote the Elder Law Prof Blog "Financial Caregivers Now Can Request Security Freezes." Also, Morgan wrote the Elder Law Prof Blog "Reminiscence Therapy and Adult Day Care," along with the Elder Law Prof Blog "Medicare Advantage Costs Dropping," among others. Other News: Law Professor Ciara Torres-Spelliscy is quoted in the Huffington Post article, "Corporations Are Striking Back On Ballot Initiatives." Torres-Spelliscy pointed out that petition-gatherers are not under oath, so charging them with lying would be nearly impossible. Plus, she added, in 2014 the Supreme Court affirmed the right of political campaigns to lie, arguing that government bodies cannot be tasked with separating fact from fiction — with the court indicating that public debate is a better way to inform voters than regulation. New York Times reported that five Stetson Law professors signed the letter, "The Senate Should Not Confirm Kavanaugh," which was to be presented to the Senate on Oct. 4. The opinion letter was headlined "The Senate Should Not Confirm Kavanaugh." Alumni: New York Mets pitcher and former Hatter standout Jacob deGrom finished the season with the lowest Earned Run Average(ERA) in Major League Baseball. He is a leading candidate for the National League’s Cy Young Award, emblematic of "best pitcher." His success has been widely reported internationally. Stetson alumnus Stacey Morris published an article in Seeking Alpha about escalating ethane prices. Headline of the article was "Escalating Ethane Prices And The Implications For MLPs And Midstream." Morris is director of Energy Research at Alerian, which equips investors to make informed decisions about Master Limited Partnerships and energy infrastructure. Kelly Dawson was appointed to senior vice president of Human Resources of Border States, an electric-utility company. In that role, Dawson leads the department and generally provides vision, direction and leadership for the employee-owned company's talent strategy.

Worman is a board-certified construction lawyer and serves on the firm's board of directors. Herald-Tribune reports that law alumnus Steven Brownlee has joined the community board of Florida State University College of Medicine, Sarasota campus. Orlando Sentinel reports that law alumnus Roy Stevenson is running for the seat 3 on the Tavares City Council. September 21-27 Top Stories Stetson University reported its largest-ever undergraduate enrollment this fall, with 3,150 students, a 2.1 percent increase over last year. That total includes 895 new students, the second-biggest entering class for the DeLand university, as reported in the article, Stetson University reports largest-ever enrollment by The Orlando Sentinel. Several other media outlets reported the same news. Psychology professor Christopher Ferguson, Ph.D., was quoted in the article "China to Issue Rules for Treating Adolescent Web Addiction" in Yi Cai Global, a financial news group based in Shanghai. Ferguson said, "There was a fairly widespread concern that this is a diagnosis that doesn't really have a very solid research foundation." Ferguson also wrote an opinion in The Daytona Beach News-Journal, "Diversity's goals can sometimes sow division." Former NBA coach Stan Van Gundy announced he will do volunteer work with Stetson in the article, "Former NBA coach Stan Van Gundy is at a crossroads over next step" from the Daily News Journal. Stuart Michelson, Ph.D., Roland and Sarah George Professor of Finance, was quoted in the Orlando Sentinel's article, "SeaWorld pays $5 million over bogus 'Blackfish' spin — and maybe got off easy". "I don't think the SEC does this often enough," said Michelson about the SEC's fine of Sea World. Paul J. Croce, Ph.D., professor of history and director of American studies, wrote an article on the late psychologist William James on the online History News Network. K.C. Ma, Ph.D., director of the Roland George Investments Program at Stetson, was quoted in an article Sept. 25 by U.S. News & World Report, "3 Dividend Stocks to Buy in October." Ma discussed the financial history of the Summit Midstream Partners (SMLP) stock. Law Professor Peter Lake is quoted in the Sept. 22 Wall Street Journal article, "Colleges, Buffeted by Courts and Washington, Navigate Sexual Assault." Lake is quoted in the Sept. 24 Harvard Crimson article, "Harvard's Capital Campaign Shows Enduring Support for Higher Ed, Growing Financial Gap Between Schools." He is quoted in the Forbes 24 article, "The Rich Get Richer: Harvard." Other News: Law Professor Ciara Torres-Spelliscy wrote the Sept. 18 Brennan Center for Justice article, "The Hottest Tool in Campaign Finance Law Enforcement Today Is More Than 100 Years Old." The Sept. 24 Mercer News reports that Professor Torres- Spelliscy will be on a panel at the Mercer Law Review Symposium on "Corporate Law in the Trump Era" to be held on Oct. 5. Law Professor Rebecca C. Morgan wrote the Sept. 20 Elder Law Prof Blog, "Issue Brief: Older Adults, Legal Services & Disaster Assistance." She wrote the Sept. 23 Elder Law Prof Blog, "Kicked Out of ALF?" Law alumnus Mike Boryla is quoted in The Sept. 22 Denver Post article, "Embittered by NFL, former Pro Bowl QB living in Castle Rock writes plays about 'psychopathic blood sport' he now hates." Alumni: Stetson alumnus Henry Brown was selected as the Jacksonville 2020 Chamber Chair. "Whether it's promoting downtown development to advocating for important policy issues, JAX Chamber is leading to make Jacksonville a city where businesses want to invest and where people choose to live," Brown said. The Sept. 25 Herald Chronicle reports that Law alumnus Alan Parrish has been appointed as Director of Client Learning for Agency Services in the Southeast Region.

September 14-20 Top Stories Jason Evans, Ph.D., associate professor of environmental science and studies at Stetson, was quoted in "How one North Carolina town stayed dry during Florence," in the Christian Science Monitor. Swan Quarter stayed largely dry during the hurricane, thanks to a dike built despite political differences in town. "Working in Swan Quarter, flooding is not an ideological issue there. It is a way of life. Same with sea level rise. People have watched it happen within that lived environment. If you watch forests turn to marshland and the roads flood, the politics fade away," said Evans, who worked on the dike project. A sinkhole that opened on Stetson University's DeLand campus received widespread coverage by media, including the Orlando Sentinel and the Daytona Beach News-Journal. The sinkhole opened in an empty field, owned by Stetson, near the DeLand House Museum.

    November 7, 2014 Laura Lovrien Liberty Publishers Services Orbital Publishing Group P.O. Box 2489 White City, OR 97503 Re: Cease and Desist Distribution of Deceptive Subscription Notices Dear Ms. Lovrien: The undersigned represent the Newspaper Association of America (“NAA”), a nonprofit organization that represents daily newspapers and their multiplatform businesses in the United States and Canada. It has come to our attention that companies operating under various names have been sending subscription renewal notices and new subscription offers to both subscribers and non-subscribers of various NAA member newspapers. These notices falsely imply that they are sent on behalf of a member newspaper and falsely represent that the consumer is obtaining a favorable price. In reality, these notices are not authorized by our member newspapers, and often quote prices that far exceed the actual subscription price. We understand that the companies sending these deceptive subscription renewal notices operate under many different names, but that many of them are subsidiaries or affiliates of Liberty Publishers Services or Orbital Publishing Group, Inc. We have sent this letter to this address because it is cited on many of the deceptive notices. Liberty Publishers Services, Orbital Publishing Group, and their corporate parents, subsidiaries, and other affiliated entities, distributors, assigns, licensees and the respective shareholders, directors, officers, employees and agents of the foregoing, including but not limited to the entities listed in Attachment A (collectively, “Liberty Publishers Services” and/or “Orbital Publishing Group”), are not authorized by us or any of our member newspapers to send these notices. Our member newspapers do not and have not enlisted Liberty Publishers Services or Orbital Publishing Group for this purpose and Liberty Publishers Services and Orbital Publishing Group are not authorized to hold themselves out in any way as agents who can process payments from consumers to purchase subscriptions to our member newspapers.

    December 4, 2017 The Hon. Wilbur L. Ross, Jr., Secretary United States Department of Commerce 1401 Constitution Avenue, NW Washington, D.C. 20230 Re: Uncoated Groundwood Paper from Canada, Inv. Nos. C–122–862 and A-122-861 Dear Secretary Ross: On behalf of the thousands of employees working at the more than 1,100 newspapers that we publish in cities and towns across the United States, we urge you to heavily scrutinize the antidumping and countervailing duty petitions filed by North Pacific Paper Company (NORPAC) regarding uncoated groundwood paper from Canada, the paper used in newspaper production. We believe that these cases do not warrant the imposition of duties, which would have a very severe impact on our industry and many communities across the United States. NORPAC’s petitions are based on incorrect assessments of a changing market, and appear to be driven by the short-term investment strategies of the company’s hedge fund owners. The stated objectives of the petitions are flatly inconsistent with the views of the broader paper industry in the United States. The print newspaper industry has experienced an unprecedented decline for more than a decade as readers switch to digital media. Print subscriptions have declined more than 30 percent in the last ten years. Although newspapers have successfully increased digital readership, online advertising has proven to be much less lucrative than print advertising. As a result, newspapers have struggled to replace print revenue with online revenue, and print advertising continues to be the primary revenue source for local journalism. If Canadian imports of uncoated groundwood paper are subject to duties, prices in the whole newsprint market will be shocked and our supply chains will suffer.
