The new revelations from the AP this week follow criticism from a hard-landing in 2015 that resulted in nearly $12,000 in dam- ages to another university-owned plane that Leath was able to pilot himself. Leath, who is certified to pi- V lot one of the planes, said in a statement last week that he will no longer fly any state-owned aircraft. New questions have now been raised following Tuesday’s reporting that Leath also used the university’s larger King Star plane. The flights revealed Tuesday cost the university tens of thou- sands of dollars in private dona- tions, according to the AP, that could be used for other priorities, and potentially violates policies that require other travel expen- ditures. Leath said last week that the he did not violate university policy or state law, which Warren Madden, senior vice president emeritus, backed in a letter to the Iowa State Daily. “In the context of a long discus- VP sion, with a reporter about the history of the ISU Flight Service Department, I stated that accord- ing to ISU policy, university air- NOMINEES craft should not be used for purely personal purposes,” Madden wrote. “While this is true, nothing I have known or have read about SQUARE OFF President Leath’s use of Flight Service or university aircraft is in violation of ISU policy. “When ISU employees travel for university business, the university pays for the transportation ex- By Emily.Hammer questions, focusing on each other and not penses related to the travel.

  • Dr. Leana Wen and the Politicization of Planned Parenthood
    Volume 5, Issue No. 1. Dr. Leana Wen and the Politicization of Planned Parenthood Emma Schreier Tulane University, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA ÒÏ Abstract: On July 16, 2019, Planned Parenthood fired its president of less than one year, Leana Wen. Planned Parenthood, both a political advocacy organization and the nation’s largest provider of reproductive health care, hired Wen in the fall of 2018 to replace Cecile Richards. As the president for more than ten years, Richards is credited with bringing Planned Parenthood onto the national political stage. Wen’s background as an emergency physician and the health commissioner of Baltimore contrasted with Richard’s career as a political organizer. From the start of her presidency, Wen emphasized her public health background and announced her plan to “depoliticize Planned Parenthood.” By focusing on Planned Parenthood’s role as a healthcare provider, Wen hoped to avoid attacks from anti-abortion critics and eventually reframe abortion as a health care procedure. Soon after Wen began the job, however, news outlets began reporting Planned Parenthood staffers’ dissatisfaction with Wen’s leadership. As key employees left, outsiders began to wonder if Wen’s leadership was flawed or if the organization was resisting her efforts to adopt a public health approach. This case explores why Wen was fired and the politics of Planned Parenthood and abortion in America. Given the history and current climate surrounding abortion, is it possible to de-politicize Planned Parenthood? Was Wen’s approach doomed from the start, or did her leadership skills lead to her termination? While women, especially Asian women, face extra scrutiny for strict leadership styles, Wen’s vision for Planned Parenthood demonstrated a disconnect from the organization’s employees and the political realities of being an abortion provider in the United States.

Partial-Birth Abortion The partial-birth abortion procedure - used from the fifth month on - involves pulling a living baby feet first out of the womb, except for the head, puncturing the skull and suctioning out the brain.
