2014 Campus Safety & Security Summit OKLAHOMA STATE REGENTS FOR HIGHER EDUCATION CAMPUS SAFETY & SECURITY TASK FORCE 2014 CAMPUS SAFETY & SECURITY SUMMIT REED CENTER, MIDWEST CITY, OKLAHOMA WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2014 FEATURED SPEAKERS Senator John Ford was elected to the State Senate in November 2004, and re-elected without opposition in 2008 and 2012. Senator Ford represents District 29, consisting of Nowata, Rogers and Washington counties. Prior to his election to the State Senate, he had a 34-year career with Phillips Petroleum Company. His tenure with Phillips gave him the opportunity to develop the skills of an effective public servant, such as business planning, prudent budgeting, valuable communication and thoughtful decision-making practices. Senator Ford has a business degree from The University of Tulsa. He has lived, worked and worshiped in the area for over 40 years. He recognizes the importance of community service, as exemplified by his participation and involvement in various community organizations and city and chamber committees. He is a founding member and past president of both the Bartlesville Area Friends of the Parks and the Daybreak Rotary Club. His priority issues are education, tort reform, workers’ compensation and Highway 60 from Ponca City to Vinita. Senator Ford has distinguished himself as a strong advocate for Oklahoma’s children and for excellence in education. The Oklahoma Institute for Child Advocacy has listed Senator Ford as having earned an “A” voting record on children’s issues. He also annually visits local classrooms as part of the Legislators Back to School Program, which is a bipartisan national program that gives children the opportunity to get to know their elected officials. In addition, the Oklahoma Youth Services Association recognized Senator Ford by presenting him the 2008 Youth Advocate Award. During his first term in the State Senate, Ford was honored with the Senate’s Legislator of the Year award by the Oklahoma Association for Home Care. He earned one of the highest scores possible in the “Legislative Report on Aging Issues,” published by the Oklahoma Aging Partnership (OAP). The report featured legislation in the areas of financial security, long-term care issues and health care issues. The legislation and issues rated of top concern are determined by OAP, a non-partisan coalition including AARP Oklahoma, Oklahoma Alliance on Aging, Oklahoma Silver Haired Legislature Alumni Association and the Oklahoma State Council on Aging. In the past, Senator Ford has served as majority caucus chair and currently serves as assistant majority floor leader. His current committee chair appointments include chair of the Education Committee and vice chair of the Education Appropriations Subcommittee. Senator Ford’s wife, Mary, is a past public school teacher. They have two married children, Jennifer and Jack, and four grandchildren. He and his wife reside in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, and attend the Good Shepherd Presbyterian Church. Chancellor Glen D.

As Chancellor, he leads a state system comprised of 25 state colleges and universities, 10 constituent agencies, two higher education centers, independent colleges and universities coordinated with the state system, and OneNet, as well as the Oklahoma College Assistance Program. Johnson became the eighth Chancellor of the Oklahoma State System of Higher Education in January 2007 after a national search. Before assuming the role of chancellor, he served as the 16th president of Southeastern Oklahoma State University in Durant for nine and a half years. Johnson also served as director of public policy at the University of Oklahoma and adjunct professor of law at the OU College of Law. Prior to his work at OU, Johnson served in the Oklahoma House of Representatives from 1982 to 1996 and was Speaker of the House from 1990 to 1996. At the time of his election as speaker, he was the youngest-sitting speaker in the United States. In 2006, Johnson was inducted into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame, which is the highest honor an Oklahoman can receive. He is an honors graduate of OU, with an undergraduate degree in political science and a Juris Doctorate from the OU College of Law. He is also a member of Phi Beta Kappa and received an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from Oklahoma City University in 2009. James Caesar is currently the emergency manager at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

He served in the marine oil spill response field with Santa Barbara-based “Clean Seas” for over 20 years in numerous positions, lastly as the planning and safety manager. Caesar is a certified emergency management specialist by the California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) and is a state-certified instructor for hazardous materials, Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) (Basic, Teen and Train the Trainer) and the safety assessment program.

Kenneth S. Trump, M.P.A., is president of National School Safety and Security Services, and has more than 30 years of PreK-12 school security-specific experience. He and his team advise superintendents, school boards, administrators, school crisis teams, and first responders nationwide on best practices regarding school security assessments, emergency preparedness evaluations and crisis communications strategies. He is also a trusted advisor to state and federal lawmakers and policymakers on school safety and preparedness public policy, and provides litigation consulting support on school safety cases. Trump’s experience includes serving as a secondary school officer and investigator and later as founding supervisor of the Youth Gang Unit for the Cleveland Public School District’s Safety and Security Division. He subsequently served as a suburban Cleveland school security director for the ninth-largest Ohio public school system, where he also served as assistant director of a federally funded gang taskforce for three Cleveland suburbs. Trump has a Master of Public Administration and a B.A. in Social Service from Cleveland State University and has extensive specialized training in school security, gang violence, and emergency preparedness issues. He has trained and consulted on school security assessments, emergency preparedness, crisis communications and related school violence issues for school and public safety officials from all 50 states and internationally and is author of three books and more than 80 articles about school security and crisis issues.

  • Why America's Grand Strategy Has Not Changed
    Why America’s Grand Strategy Has Not Changed Why America’s Grand Patrick Porter Strategy Has Not Changed Power, Habit, and the U.S. Foreign Policy Establishment Why has U.S. grand strategy persisted since the end of the Cold War? If grand strategy is the long- term orchestration of power and commitments to secure oneself in a world where war is possible, the United States’ way of pursuing security has been re- markably stable.1 Long before the fall of the Soviet Union, the United States formed a grand strategy of “primacy,” often coined as “leadership.”2 This strategy was interrupted only occasionally. By the 1960s, it had set the parame- ters for Washington’s foreign policy debate.3 The strategy has four interlock- ing parts: to be militarily preponderant; to reassure and contain allies; to integrate other states into U.S.-designed institutions and markets; and to inhibit the spread of nuclear weapons.4 These fundamental security commit- ments have proven hard to change, even amid shocks. Patrick Porter is Professor of International Security and Strategy at the University of Birmingham. The author is grateful to the anonymous reviewers and to Stephane Baele, Tarak Barkawi, Gregorio Bettiza, David Blagden, Sergio Catignani, Peter Feaver, Francis Gavin, Jonathan Golub, Ryan Grauer, Ted Hopf, Burak Kadercan, Michael Lind, Beverley Loke, Jason Reiºer, Robert Saunders, Catarina Thomson, and Hugh White. 1.
