    1 ● Basic information12 ○ Biden was born on November 20, 1942 (77), in Scranton, Pennsylvania. ○ In 1953, The Bidens moved to Claymont, Delaware, and then eventually to Wilmington, Delaware. ○ Biden earned his bachelor’s degree in 1965 from the University of Delaware, with a double major in history and political science. ○ Biden graduated from Syracuse University College of Law in 1968 and was admitted to the Delaware bar in 1969. ■ During his first year at Syracuse, Biden was accused of plagiarizing five of fifteen pages of a law review article. As a result, he failed the course and had to retake it. The plagiarism incident has resurfaced during various political campaigns. ● Early political career3 ○ After graduating from law school, Biden began practicing law as a public defender and then for a firm headed by Sid Balick, a locally active Democrat. Biden would go on to officially register as a Democrat at this time. ○ At the end of 1969, Biden ran to represent the 4th district on the New Castle County Council, a usually Republican district. ■ He served on the County Council from 1970 to 1972, while continuing his private law practice. ● 1972 US Senate campaign ○ In 1972, longtime Delaware political figure and Republican incumbent Senator J. Caleb Boggs was considering retirement, which would likely have left US Representative Pete du Pont and Wilmington Mayor Harry G. Haskell Jr. in a divisive primary fight. ■ To avoid that, President Nixon convinced Boggs to run again with full party support which kept several known Democrats out of the race. ○ Biden’s grassroots campaigned, managed by his sister Valerie Biden Owens, focused on withdrawals from Vietnam, the environment, civil rights, mass transit, more equitable taxation, and health care.

  • Accessed 4/16/20
    Joan Walsh, “The Troublesome Tara Reade Story,” The Nation, April 15, 2020. (https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/tara-reade-joe-biden-democrats/, accessed 4/16/20) Left- and right-wing Biden haters demanded that the media investigate her sexual assault charge. It did—and uncovered many reasons to doubt. There is no evidence that former vice president Joe Biden, now the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, sexually assaulted aide Tara Reade in 1993. There is no evidence that he did not. Reade claims he did—specifically, that he pushed her against a wall and digitally penetrated her against her will, when she worked in his US Senate office. Biden’s campaign firmly denies it. The story originated on the left, just about three weeks ago, when diehard Bernie Sanders supporter Katie Halper hosted Reade on her podcast, and encouraged her to tell her story publicly for the first time in 27 years. The story took off from there, on the left and the right, with certain Sanders supporters and Donald Trump backers (whose own man is credibly accused of sexual assault or extreme harassment by more than a dozen women) accusing the mainstream media of pro-Biden bias for not investigating the charges against him. But to those who hectored the media to investigate the allegations about Biden, believing it would validate Reade’s charges, the old adage applies: Be careful what you wish for. In the last two days, mainstream outlets, including The New York Times, Associated Press, have taken deep dives into Reade’s charges, and come up with a whole lot of confusion.

  • Fresh Look at Nevada's Community Colleges Task Force
    NEVADA SYSTEM OF HIGHER EDUCATION Fresh Look at Nevada’s Community Colleges Task Force REPORT TO CHANCELLOR DANIEL KLAICH SUBMITTED BY BRUCE JAMES TASK FORCE CHAIRMAN August 17, 2011 Nevada Community Colleges College of Southern Nevada Great Basin College Truckee Meadows Community College Western Nevada College (BOARD OF REGENTS' AGENDA 09/08/11 & 09/09/11) Ref. BOR-11, Page 1 of 38 I. OVERVIEW In June of 2010, Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) Chancellor Daniel Klaich established the Fresh Look at Nevada’s Community Colleges Task Force to determine if our colleges were truly aligned with the future employment and learning needs of Nevadans. While the state’s four community colleges in Carson City, Elko, Las Vegas and Reno seemed to be responsive in meeting the needs of their respective communities, the larger issues are whether, as a state, we are adequately preparing our learners with the skills and knowledge that will be required by employers, and whether we have enough learners in the educational pipeline to fulfill their requirements. By tradition, each of our community colleges operates more or less independently, following the federal and state laws, regulations and rules governing higher education. This is similar to community and junior colleges throughout the country, each of which, for the most part, has been created over the last 50 years by local communities to meet the educational needs of their citizens. For the most part, these colleges are funded by local property taxes and governed by locally elected boards, which help keep their institutions tuned to the changing requirements of their local citizens and businesses.

  • A Visual Rhetorical Analysis of Barack Obama
    ABSTRACT THE FIERCE URGENCY OF NOW: A VISUAL RHETORICAL ANALYSIS OF BARACK OBAMA The purpose of this thesis was to conduct a visual rhetorical analysis of several images of Barack Obama crying. This study proposed four research questions intended to explicate the significance and meaning of the images: (1) What are the potential functions of the BBC images? (2) What were the reactions to Obama’s crying and how does that impact the understanding of the visual images? (3) How does a visual rhetorical analysis of these images help us understand the contemporary presidency? (4) How does a visual rhetorical analysis help us understand the implications of President Obama’s crying during public speeches and events? The images under examination were uploaded to a BBC article in 2017 and some of these images received more discussion and distribution across mass media. Part of this study’s intention is not only to create a greater understanding of presidential rhetoric and visual rhetoric but to help situate their places in communication studies as well. Limitations for this research and future research implications are also discussed.
