Troutt Marks 10 Years at Rhodes By Martha Hunter Shepard ’66 ALLISON RODGERS uring the nine months between becoming the D19th president of Rhodes College in July 1999 and his inauguration in April 2000, Bill Troutt established a solid reputation as “listener in chief.” His approach was to take time to listen to people—faculty, staff, students, parents and alumni— all the while envisioning the college’s future. He began those conversations with the question, “How can we make Rhodes the best it can be?” He was on the way to leading an already excellent institution to one that would become extraordinary. During Troutt’s “listening tour,” themes began to emerge: • Faculty and staff members wished for more time to mentor students. • The student services division aspired to expand residential programming. • Everyone acknowledged the need to recruit and retain outstanding faculty by providing them the resources needed for happy and productive professional lives. • There was an equally widespread call for curricular revision. • The need for a new library was high on the wish list, but it didn’t stop there. The faculty requested that the college stay up-to-date with resources for both traditional learning and technology support. President Bill Troutt { 2 } F A L L 2 0 0 9 • R H O D E S rhodes.edu • Many felt that the college should interact more with CLARK TREY the Memphis community. • The development of more opportunities for study abroad was another priority, along with increasing the diversity of the campus population. As one community member phrased it, “It is vital to a liberal arts education that students be exposed to a broad range of ideas and cultures.” In his inauguration speech, Troutt articulated his conclusions and goals gathered from those listening tours in what he called “Ten Steps Forward To Advance Rhodes.” Several months later, 10 planning initiative committees were formed, each chaired by a faculty member, to make recommendations on how to achieve the 10 steps outlined in his inaugural address. From those groups emerged the Rhodes Vision, a statement of the college’s mission along with four “strategic imperatives” on how Rhodes would achieve its goals. Adopted in 2003 by the Board of Trustees, the Rhodes Vision set the tone for what has come to be a Carole and Bill Troutt, summer 1999 defi ning decade in the college’s history. Working Together The Rhodes Vision For Bill Troutt, it’s always been about Rhodes Rhodes College aspires to graduate students with community members working together, with the college a lifelong passion for learning, a compassion for benefi ting from their solid interactions with one another, others and the ability to translate academic study and with Memphis and the world, all centered on a beautiful personal concern into effective leadership and action campus that inspires everyone to strive for excellence in in their communities and the world. We will achieve all they do. our aspiration through four strategic imperatives: For openers, in 2001, students were greeted with a totally renovated Stewart Hall and brand-new East Student Access Village, an apartment-style residence hall for juniors To attract and retain a talented, diverse student body and seniors. In 2005, after three years in the making, and engage these students in a challenging, inclusive the college celebrated the opening of the Paul Barret Jr. and culturally-broadening college experience Library, a state-of-the-art facility made possible by a $35 million bequest of Paul Barret Jr. ’46. It was the largest Student Learning gift in the college’s history. In ensuing years, McCoy To ensure our faculty and staff have the talent, Theatre doubled its size, thanks to funding from the the time and the resources to inspire and involve our McCoy Foundation, a new outdoor track was installed, students in meaningful study, research and service the Lynx Lair in the Bryan Campus Life Center was redesigned and Burrow Hall became the place where Student Engagement students could conduct the business of being a student. To enhance student opportunities for learning in Across the board, representative members of the entire Memphis Rhodes community, including students, were involved in each project. Student Inspiration Says Allen Boone ’71, vice president for Finance and To provide a residential place of learning that inspires Business Affairs: integrity and high achievement through its beauty, its “Students were involved in focus groups on products/ emphasis on values, its Presbyterian history and its merchandise for the bookstore. They also served on the heritage as a leader in the liberal arts and sciences steering committee for the creation of the new Campus Master Plan, were involved in selecting furniture for Barret Library (in addition to the developmentTim Huebner of in class rhodes.edu F A L L 2 0 0 9 • R H O D E S { 3 } TREY CLARK TREY the program requirements for the building—study rooms, coffee shop, etc.) and gave input on classroom furniture during the production of the Academic Space Plan. Students were also extensively involved in the production of the Residential Master Plan, the results of which led to the construction of East Village and the Stewart Hall renovation, and improvements to various social spaces and other general residence hall improvements such as improved laundry facilities and reduced density.” In another matter, one student, who knew Troutt would listen to her, literally took things into her own hands. While the president and the Athletics Department staff were very much aware that the outdoor running track was in a state of disrepair, runner Amy Paine ’03, with a piece of the damaged track in hand, visited with Troutt to discuss the situation. Her graphic demonstration was greatly appreciated, and the track was completed the following fall. There’s more. When several students wanted to Inauguration Day, April 14, 2000 renovate the Lair, they organized, sought the help of A Decade of Learning Opportunities JUSTIN FOX BURKS Academically, and in terms of service, the world has opened up to Rhodes students in the last decade. Some of the programs include: • Rhodes CARES (Center for Academic Research and Education through Service), funded by a grant from the Robert and Ruby Priddy Charitable Trust, strengthens undergraduate research and service tied to scholarship. It encompasses programs such as: Rhodes Institute for Regional Studies: A summer research opportunity in Memphis and the Mid-South Rhodes St. Jude Summer Plus research program: An intensive research program pairing Rhodes students with St. Jude researchers Speaking to students at a leadership seminar Rhodes/UT: An intensive research program pairing Rhodes students with University of Tennessee neuroscience researchers.

    Mark Alan Smith Department of Political Science University of Washington Right from Wrong: The Folly of Religious Arguments about Morality Forthcoming 2022 Prometheus Books Chapter 3 Discovering Morality through Inclusive Deliberation Atheists are strikingly unpopular, especially in America. When asked several years ago whether they “would disapprove if my child wanted to marry” an atheist, 44% of Americans said yes, much greater than the number for African Americans (23%), Jews (18%), and Hispanics (13%).1 Only 58% of Americans would vote for a well-qualified candidate from their party who happened to be an atheist, whereas many more would vote for someone who was Catholic (93%), female (92%), Black (92%), Mormon (81%), or gay or lesbian (74%).2 Many atheists report being ostracized from their families after publicly declaring their non-belief in God,3 and résumés that mention a person’s affiliation as an atheist are less likely to get a response from prospective employers.4 These negative attitudes toward atheists reflect a common belief that they readily lie, cheat, and steal when it serves their interests. Research documenting those perceptions has been 1 conducted by psychologist Will Gervais, who developed a clever test to capture beliefs about who commits the greatest number of moral transgressions. He found that Americans think atheists are much more likely than members of groups defined by race, religion, and sexual orientation to commit murder, engage in incest, kick a dog, cheat at cards, disrespect an employer, eat human flesh, ridicule an obese woman, and renounce national and family ties.5 In a country where nearly half the population deems it “necessary to believe in God to be moral,” as one survey indicates, atheists seem to threaten order and decency.6 As it turns out, Christian apologists are usually more generous than the general public when talking about atheists.

  • Options for Federal Judicial Screening Committees Second Edition September 2011 (2D
    Options for Federal Judicial Screening Committees Second Edition September 2011 (2d. ed.) OPTIONS FOR FEDERAL JUDICIAL SCREENING COMMITTEES: Where They Are in Place, How They Operate, and What to Consider in Establishing and Managing Them The Governance Institute, the Institute for the Advancement of the American Legal System at the University of Denver (IAALS), and Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution have revised the June 2010 first edition of this guide, and will continue to issue revisions periodically. It provides United States senators, other federal legislators, and their staffs with information about creating committees to screen potential judicial and law enforcement position nominees; provides them and committee members with information about committee operations; and provides others interested in federal judicial selection with information about an often- overlooked aspect of the process. It is not a “best practices” manual, in part because relatively little is known about how such committees work and even less about what seems to work best. The most current version of the guide is available at: www.du.edu/legalinstitute and www.brookings.edu/experts/wheelerr.aspx This guide was authored principally by: Russell Wheeler, president of the Governance Institute and a Visiting Fellow in the Brookings Institution’s Governance Studies program. He has served on the IAALS Board of Advisors since its creation in 2006. Rebecca Love Kourlis, executive director of IAALS. She served on Senator Ken Salazar’s screening committee and co-chaired the committee that Senators Mark Udall and Michael Bennet appointed to screen candidates for two District of Colorado vacancies. (Malia Reddick, director of judicial programs for the Institute, assists with ongoing revisions.) The Institute for the Advancement of the American Legal System (IAALS) is a national, independent research center dedicated to continuous improvement of the process and culture of the civil justice system.

  • Introduction: Placing the Self Within the Frame 1 New Storytelling
    Notes Introduction: Placing the Self within the Frame 1. This is performed by the Mamas and the Papas (see Chapter 6). 2. For various opinions on the potential of textual analysis see Childs (2006), Kovala (2008) and McKee (2003). 3. Although Gwen Haworth’s documentary is relevant to lesbian discourse, as Haworth, a male to female transsexual, expresses lesbian desire, I have not included this work in my book, as the focus is largely transsexual. Despite this, Haworth’s documentary is highly contiguous to the theoretical ideas expressed within this book, concerning self-reflexive narrative expression and sexual diversity. 4. Also there are still laws which oppress non-heterosexuals within the Western world. 5. It is important to note that this often includes production funding from Anglocentric sources, which bears its own implications of textual influence. 1 New Storytelling: Transitions from the Past 1. Howard Auster had changed his name to Howard Austen early in his career, on advice from Gore Vidal to avoid advertising his Jewish identity at a time when it was hard to obtain work as a Jew (Vidal, 1995). In Gore Vidal’s mem- oir, Howard’s name is restored to the original spelling; hence I have adopted it here. 2. I use the term ‘literature’ in the general sense as ‘serious writing’, esteemed by authority such as academia. 3. I am only discussing the media of radio in this chapter, as a precursor to later developments in television, film and new media through the World Wide Web. 4. It is important to note that in some non-Western countries conversely homo- sexuality under certain circumstances may be considered to offer positive myths.
