Diversity Among Pennsylvania State Boards
Diversity Among esearch Pennsylvania R State Boards rban U Ralph Bangs, PhD Leila Lucas, MPIA, MSW Joseph Olaore, MPPM ocial and S December 2006 Funded by The Maurice Falk Fund, enter for Women and Girls Foundation C of Southwest Pennsylvania, and WOMENS WAY niversity University of Pittsburgh U DIVERSITY AMONG PENNSYLVANIA STATE BOARDS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Ralph Bangs, Leila Lucas, and Joseph Olaore University Center for Social and Urban Research University of Pittsburgh December 2006 This report presents findings from our study of diversity among Pennsylvania state boards, commissions, councils, committees and authorities (hereafter referred to as boards). State boards make many important decisions, and having minorities and women adequately represented on these boards is necessary for decision processes to be higher quality and more democratic, fair and inclusive. For the purposes of this study a state board is defined as one where at least 50% of the voting members are PA state officials or members appointed by a PA state official and at least one member must be appointed by a PA state official. A PA state official is defined as a PA state elected official or the director or secretary of a particular PA state department. To create a list of state boards we examined over 2,000 appointments made by the Governor of PA between January 2000 and September 2005. After reviewing websites for boards to which the governor had appointed at least one member, we found 312 boards that satisfied the above definition and appeared to currently exist. Information on board members was obtained from January to June 2006 by calling the secretary or administrative manager for each board and by examining board websites. -

Built by Geniuses to Be Run by the Inmates
Bui lt by Geni us es to be Run by the Inmates Introduction This page ( http://www.historicasylums.org/ ) is an attempt to catalog and pre s e nt Ame ri c a's hi s tori c ps yc hi atri c hos pi tals ( s tate hospitals; insane asylums) founded mostly in the latter half of the 19th century. The site gives special emphasis on the facilities built on the "Kirkbride plan", but it is not necessarily limited to the Kirkbride hospitals. The Kirkbride plan and the resulting bui ldi ngs represented great ambiti on on the part of both ps ychi atri c caregi vers and archi tects . Known Ki rkbri de hos pi tals are i ndi cated by a cli ckable Ki rkbri de label Type: Kirkride in the listings. Asylums outside of this scope, such as ones constructed in the 20th century are also included. To some, the asylums of the 19th century represent a darker period in mental health care, with involuntary incarcerati on, barbaric and ineffective treatments, and abuse of patients. However, there is also a legacy of progressive institutional treatment left by Dorothea Dix, Thomas Story Kirkbride, John Galt, and others represented by these buildings and sites. The sites that remain stand in monument to the successes and failures of these reforms and their efforts. The treatments and philosophies seem rather outdated and quant today, but at the time were a considered to be great improvement in the treatment of people perceived in need of psychiatric care. A large proportion of these historic institutions are no longe r ps yc hi atri c hos pi tals . -
