Three Communication Studies · 2 · faculty members were selected to help lead a special “online summer camp” for just under 900 of their faculty colleagues wanting to learn more about online teaching. Dr. Kimberly Aguilar, assistant professor, Dr. Jacqueline Irwin, professor, and Timi Ross Poeppelman, lecturer, joined other faculty in leading the three-week course. Offered by the College for Continuing Education, Information and Resource Technologies and the Center for Teaching and Learning, it was funded by a $1 million grant awarded to Sacramento State. During the camp, faculty received specifi c instruction about how to move elements of their regular in-class teaching to an online format. “We were all required to move our work, including all classes, to the virtual world with only a few days’ notice,” said Dr. Gerri Smith, department chair. “I am so proud of the faculty for their creativity and perseverance in making the Anti-Racism Task Force transition.” For Poeppelman, the arrival of the pandemic and the need to move to online · 4 · teaching, was a moment where preparation met opportunity. “I have been teaching online for about fi ve years now, and serving my department as well as working with the summer camp was a way for me to invest in my colleagues.” The summer camp was the largest faculty training session ever offered by Sacramento State University. “I really enjoy teaching teachers,” Poeppelman said. “When we begin teaching, we are not given much training in the logistics of teaching, and it can make some teachers unwilling to look and see if there are other and/or better ways to teach.” Irwin took an optimistic viewpoint to the process noting, “Good teaching is good teaching regardless of the mode of instruction. Organization and consistency is key so that your students have a predictable schedule from you. This can help both the professor and students feel secure and centered Alumni News throughout the journey of a semester.” Aguilar noted that her expertise in instructional communication · 7 · cyberpedagogy compelled her to get involved. “I thought I could • continued on page 6 2 CommConnect • Fall 2020 Grad Welcome new faculty program Communication Studies welcomes new professors in Public Relations and Rhetoric grows hree new professors joined the Department of Communication Studies faculty this fall. he graduate program Dr. Carlos Flores joins Sacramento State as an assistant in Communication T professor of rhetoric from the University of Nevada, Las Studies continues Vegas.

INTRODUCTION he value of competition among regulators has been the T subject of debate in the United States (“U.S.”) for some time.1 On the one hand, its advocates contend that com- peting regulatory bodies will not only govern less, but also more efficiently.2 Proponents of centralized regulation, on the other hand, argue that ove rlapping regulation is costly, inefficient, and allows exploitation and abuses along regulatory seams.3 In supporting their arguments, however, both sides of this debate rely largely on intuitive arguments or anecdotal evidence.

  • FSFP Ltr to NY AG to Revoke Trump Org Corp Charter 2-15-2017 Final
    The Honorable Eric T. Schneiderman Attorney General of the State of New York The Capitol Albany, New York 12224 Re: Request to Initiate Investigation Whether to Dissolve and Revoke Corporate Charter of the Trump Organization February 15, 2017 Dear Attorney General Schneiderman: We write to request that you investigate whether to bring proceedings to dissolve and revoke the charter of The Trump Organization, Inc. under Section 1101 of the Business Corporation Law. Judicial dissolution of a corporation should not be undertaken lightly. But this is not an ordinary case. By continuing to operate under Trump family ownership and control with President Trump in the White House, the Trump Organization flagrantly abuses its state-granted powers, contrary to the public policies of New York against corruption and conflicts of interest, and contrary to the U.S. Constitution. Furthermore, the Trump Organization has a history of alleged illegal, fraudulent, or abusive activity demonstrating that it has exceeded the authority conferred upon it by law and carried on its business in a persistently fraudulent or illegal manner. Its history, and that of its namesake, give every reason to expect that illegal activities will increase, not decrease, the longer that President Trump remains in the White House. Free Speech For People is a national non-partisan, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that works to restore republican democracy to the people. Free Speech For People’s thousands of supporters around the country, including in New York, engage in education and non-partisan advocacy to encourage and support effective government of, by, and for the American people.

  • Senate Democrats to Introduce Bill to Require President and Vice President to Fully Divest Personal Financial Conflicts of Interest
    Senate Democrats to Introduce Bill to Require President and Vice President to Fully Divest Personal Financial Conflicts of Interest As Chairman and President of the Trump Organization, President-elect Donald J. Trump heads a “sprawling” international business network with “deep ties” to global financiers and foreign officials from countries around the globe, including China, Libya, and Turkey.1 Because of these ties, he will take office with “more potential business and financial conflicts of interest than any other president in U.S. history.”2 Unless he takes steps to address these conflicts, President-elect Trump will be in violation of the Constitution on “Day One” of his presidency.3 Article I, Section 9 of the Constitution prohibits officeholders, including the President,4 from “accept[ing] any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, price, or foreign state.” Experts have concluded that “[c]orporations owned or controlled by a foreign government are presumptively foreign states under the Emoluments Clause.”5 Although the president and vice president are now exempt from many federal financial conflict of interest rules, the Office of Government Ethics has concluded that “the President and the Vice President should conduct themselves as if they were so bound” by them,6 and every president in the last 40 years has voluntarily complied. Yet President-elect Trump has resisted taking these steps, even boasting that “the president can’t have a conflict of interest.”7 He has announced no plans to divest from his businesses, announcing instead that his sons will manage the Trump Organization during his presidency.8 For decades, U.S.

    File: ILLIG.hedgefundgovernance.FINAL(v2).doc Created on: 11/24/2008 10:01:00 AM Last Printed: 11/24/2008 12:03:00 PM THE PROMISE OF HEDGE FUND GOVERNANCE: HOW INCENTIVE COMPENSATION CAN ENHANCE INSTITUTIONAL INVESTOR MONITORING Robert C. Illig* ABSTRACT Progressive legal scholars argue that institutional investors should play a greater role in disciplining corporate managers. These reformers seek to harness the talent and resources of mutual funds and public pension funds to increase managerial accountability to shareholder inter- ests. Conservative scholars respond that empowering institutional investors would do little more than relocate the underlying agency costs. Although shirking by corporate managers might indeed be reduced, institutional investors suffer from their own set of agency problems and so would need their own monitor. Ultimately, someone must watch the watchers. This Article argues that neither corporate managers nor institutional investors are properly incentivized to serve shareholder interests. There- fore, neither is appropriately positioned to serve as the ultimate decision maker. A better model of governance is the incentive fee structure em- ployed by hedge funds and other private equity funds. If institutional fund managers were permitted to adopt a similar compensation scheme, their interests and the interests of their investors would merge. As a result, they would be transformed into ideal servants of shareholder interests, capable of bringing much-needed discipline to corporate America. * Assistant Professor, University of Oregon School of Law.

Since then, she’s cast her critic’s eye across the journalism landscape: from the troubling “conjoined twins” relationship between Trump and Fox News, to the coverage of potential U.S. presidential candidates, to the press- freedom issues surrounding WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. Her career includes being public editor of The New York Times and the first female editor of The Buffalo News.
