  • Statement by PHIMC President and CEO Karen A. Reitan
    Statement by PHIMC President and CEO Karen A. Reitan Friends: On May 14, we watched the jarring images of white men with automac weapons inside the Michigan State Capitol, nose to nose yelling at police with no response or consequence. Not two weeks later, we watched horrifying video of George Floyd, a black man, being murdered by a police officer kneeling on his neck in front of a crowd of onlookers begging him to stop. Three addional officers looked on and did nothing. This weekend, we watched thousands take to the streets calling for jusce with a righteous rage that began 400 years ago when the first Africans were stolen from their homes and brought here as slaves. That racism and oppression of people of color, parcularly black people, are a central component of American life cannot be disputed. It is imbedded in the United States at all levels - personal, professional, legal, spiritual - no maer where you turn, racism and oppression are there. The burden of dismantling the racist infrastructure of our country lies squarely with white people. We created this problem when we chose this path and it is ours to own and to change. We will never be the America we think we are until this happens. Racism is a public health crisis. That cannot be denied. Study aer study documents the disproporonate burden of chronic and infecous diseases among people of color. The chronic stress of being black in America, parcularly among women, has been shown to contribute to heart disease, hypertension, and premature death. In Chicago's wealthy and predominately white Streeterville community, residents live to be 90 on average, while nine miles south, in Chicago's impoverished and predominately black Englewood community, residents live only to 60.

  • 2020 Commencement Program.Pdf
    Commencement MAY 2020 WELCOME FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Friends: This is an occasion of profoundly mixed emotions for all of us. On one hand, there is the pride, excitement, and immeasurable hope that come with the culmination of years of effort and success at the University of Connecticut. But on the other hand, there is the recognition that this year is different. For the first time since 1914, the University of Connecticut is conferring its graduate and undergraduate degrees without our traditional ceremonies. It is my sincere hope that you see this moment as an opportunity rather than a misfortune. As the Greek Stoic philosopher Epictetus observed, “Difficulties show us who we are.” This year our University, our state, our nation, and indeed our world have faced unprecedented difficulties. And now, as you go onward to the next stage of your journey, you have the opportunity to show what you have become in your time at UConn. Remember that the purpose of higher education is not confined to academic achievement; it is also intended to draw from within those essential qualities that make each of us an engaged, fully-formed individual – and a good citizen. There is no higher title that can be conferred in this world, and I know each of you will exemplify it, every day. This is truly a special class that will go on to achieve great things. Among your classmates are the University’s first Rhodes Scholar, the largest number of Goldwater scholars in our history, and outstanding student leaders on issues from climate action to racial justice to mental health.

  • When Protest Is the Disaster: Constitutional Implications of State and Local Emergency Power
    When Protest Is the Disaster: Constitutional Implications of State and Local Emergency Power Karen J. Pita Loor ABSTRACT The President’s use of emergency authority has recently ignited concern among civil rights groups over national executive emergency power. However, state and local emergency authority can also be dangerous and deserves similar attention. This article demonstrates that, just as we watch over the national executive, we must be wary of and check on state and local executives—and their emergency management law enforcement actors—when they react in crisis mode. This paper exposes and critiques state executives’ use of emergency power and emergency management mechanisms to suppress grassroots political activity and suggests avenues to counter that abuse. I choose to focus on the executive’s response to protest because this public activity is, at its core, an exercise of a constitutional right. The emergency management one- size-fits-all approach, however, does not differentiate between political activism, a flood, a terrorist attack, or a loose shooter. Public safety concerns overshadow any consideration of protestors’ individual rights. My goal is to interject liberty considerations into the executive’s calculus when it responds to political activism. I use the case studies of the 2016 North Dakota Access Pipeline protests, the 2014 Ferguson protests, and the 1999 Seattle WTO protests to demonstrate that state level emergency management laws and structures provide no realistic limit on the executive’s power, and the result is suppression of activists’ First and Fourth Amendment rights. Under current conditions, neither lawmakers nor courts realistically restrain the executive’s emergency management Karen J.
