Impact Investing and Social Entrepreneurship Rebecca Tekula, Archana Shah, and Jordan Jhamb
Universities as Intermediaries: Impact Investing and Social Entrepreneurship Rebecca Tekula, Archana Shah, and Jordan Jhamb Abstract Metropolitan universities are well poised in communities to be intermediaries among various actors involved in social innovation. Pace University established one of the first institutes on social entrepreneurship. Its unique position at the university level allows programming to transcend certain institutional challenges. The emerging field of impact investing is fertile ground for partnerships allowing the university to serve as resource provider, while benefiting from myriad opportunities for student and faculty engagement, experiential learning, and access. The emergence of social entrepreneurship has planted the seeds for an increasing number and variety of educational activities related to the field. As the world of social ventures evolves, from traditional charity to social enterprise and social entrepreneurship, the academic pathways provided must advance accordingly. Careers in the social sector are growing, along with a clear demand for courses, programs, and learning experiences that equip students with the knowledge and hands-on experience needed to succeed in the field. A key learning outcome of social entrepreneurship education is the development of skills and acquisition of knowledge to mobilize resources from various institutional spheres (Seelos et al. 2011). Metropolitan universities are often well poised in their communities to act as intermediaries or hubs among the various domains and institutional actors involved in social innovation and to support the communities in which they reside. The true arrival of social entrepreneurship education took place only in the very early twenty-first century when a small but growing number of universities had started to support the social enterprise movement and the use of business practices in the nonprofit sector. -

Repeatedly during a press conference Thurs, Landgraf said he wanted to FX Nets to “remain boutique,” with execs throwing around adjectives like “scrappy” and “indie.” And he’s not going to roll out the standard programming structure and put individual execs in charge of FX, FXX and FXM, instead naming Nick Grad and Eric Schrier both as presidents of original programming for FX Nets and FX Productions, overseeing all original programming for the 3 nets. Chuck Saftler was upped to pres, program strategy and COO, FX Nets, with him over- seeing programming strategies for all the nets. “I just don’t believe in those kind of structures,” he said, referring to separate pres/gm posts for each channel. “I don’t want Nick’s intellect, creativity and administrative ability to be focused on one channel, and Eric to be focused on another.” Grad previously served as evp, original programming and dev for FX. Schrier formerly was evp, FX Productions and head of series development for FX, while Saftler was evp, FX Nets and gm, FXM. FXX, launching in Sept, is the net’s 1st original series, an animated show from the creative teams behind “Eastbound & Down” and “Archer.” It will join “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” and “The League,” which are moving from FX. -

This case is about extraordinary, unjustified and unlawful actions by certain of the Directors (the “Director Defendants”) of CBS Corporation (“CBS” or the “Company,” and together with the Director Defendants, “Defendants”) to unilaterally dilute the voting rights of its controlling stockholder, NAI, for all purposes and for all time. It is undisputed that the Director Defendants’ actions are unprecedented under Delaware law. 2. The dilutive dividend—which the Director Defendants approved following a hastily called and perfunctory special meeting (“Special Meeting”) of the CBS Board (“Board”) on May 17, 2018, and on a “conditional” basis pending Delaware court review—is invalid for at least four reasons: (i) it was declared in violation of the Company’s bylaws; (ii) it was based on the recommendation of a special committee, comprised of five Director Defendants (“Special Committee”), acting far beyond its authority; (iii) it violates the Company’s charter; and (iv) the Director Defendants’ purported dilution of CBS’s voting stockholders violates the directors’ fiduciary duties in numerous ways. -
