A Message from the President This issue of The Scranton Journal concerns a notion central to the spirituality of St. Ignatius Loyola that has animated The University of WINTER 20102011 t VOLUME 32, NUMBER 1 Scranton since the arrival of the Jesuits in 1942. St. Ignatius was motivated EDITOR Tommy Kopetskie throughout his life by the concept of the magis. My favorite definition of DESIGNERS this important Ignatian term is “a restless desire for excellence grounded in Francene M. Dudziec Jason Thorne gratitude.” After his conversion when Ignatius experienced God’s proximity CONTRIBUTING EDITORS Kevin Southard and unconditional love, he was filled with a sense of gratitude that stayed Stan M. Zygmunt ’84, G’95 with him for the rest of his life. Because Ignatius was acutely aware of all that God was doing in and through ASSOCIATE WRITERS Kevin Gray him, he wanted to respond by doing great things in return. His goal was to labor along with God, to the best Alan Lukowicz ’82 Matt Morgan of his abilities, for God’s greater glory and the well-being of humankind. Doug Rutter ASSISTANT CLASS NOTES EDITOR We have so much for which to be grateful here at Scranton. God’s activity on our campus and among our Margery Gleason alumni is palpable.

Good morning and welcome to the Diamond City of Wilkes-Barre, PA and to this special gathering of its very own Wilkes University. I am pleased and humbled to have all of you here, especially those of you who traveled some distance to be here today. It means a great deal to Wilkes University and to me. Thank you very much. Let me also thank in a special way my greeters – colleagues and friends all – for their kind words of support. Before I go any further, I would like to take this opportunity to introduce my family who is here today. First, please welcome my beautiful wife of 17 years, Amy. Amy agreed to pick up and move to Northeast Pennsyl- vania eight years ago so I could pursue a dream to work in higher education. I probably shouldn’t state this so publicly, but I owe you. Next, I am pleased to have here today the part of my life of which I am most proud, my children: my girls – Grace and Molly – and my boys – Jack and Brian. Molly, my 11 year old, took me aside this summer and told me: “Dad, I would like to be known as the “president’s daughter.” What about Grace I asked? “She can be known as the president’s daughter’s sister.” I am thrilled to have both of them here.

Look for J l» IwiftRI <•**•) Paul's work in the Aldom AN INTERVIEW WITH PG. 22 StMarysCbU^ Lounge of the Campus LIZ BARBER WALKER, Center during Reunion of Maryland Weekend, June 8-10. PG. to at Historic St. Marys City By Dirk Griffith;79 The College is pleased to announce the Lucy F. Spedden Scholarship, named for the alumna whose gift of nearly a million dollars makes it possible. The gift, established through a bequest, is expected to generate $50,000 a year in new scholarships. Born February 5, 1898 in Fishing Creek, near Cambridge on Maryland's Eastern Shore, Lucy Spedden lived to see her 100th birthday. Better known as "Miss Lucy," she hailed from the Class of 1916. She did not graduate from St. Mary's Female Seminary, leaving school instead to care for an ailing, widowed mother. Diploma or no, she couldn't have been a more loyal alumna. It has been said that Miss Lucy never married because she was manied to St. Mary's. Her personal dedication, leadership, and hard work inspired generations of alumnae. She planned her vacations to coincide with Reunion Weekend and came back to St. Mary's to recruit new members to the fledgling Alumni Association. When alumni records were destroyed in the 1924 Calvert Hall fire, Miss Lucy reconstructed many of them by hand. For many, many years she was an active member of the Washington, D.C. alumni chapter.

  • Voices of Feminism Oral History Project: Nussbaum, Karen
    Voices of Feminism Oral History Project Sophia Smith Collection, Smith College Northampton, MA KAREN NUSSBAUM interviewed by KATHLEEN BANKS NUTTER December 18–19, 2003 Washington, D.C. This interview was made possible with generous support from the Ford Foundation. © Sophia Smith Collection 2004 Sophia Smith Collection Voices of Feminism Oral History Project Narrator Karen Nussbaum was born in Chicago April 25, 1950, the daughter of Annette Brenner Nussbaum, who “did public relations for educational institutions and organizations for the public good for many years,” and Mike (Myron) Nussbaum, an exterminator (1946–70) and actor and director (1967–present). She attended the University Chicago for a year and a half and became involved in the anti-Vietnam War movement. She moved to Boston, working for the antiwar movement there while supporting herself as a clerical worker at Harvard University. She earned a B.A. from Goddard College in 1975. In 1973 Nussbaum and some friends organized 9to5, an organization for women clerical workers, initially in Boston. By 1975, Boston 9to5 had joined other similar groups across the country and they reached out to a mostly unreceptive labor movement. SEIU, however, welcomed them and Local 925 was born. In 1981 the union expanded to a national jurisdiction and became SEIU District 925. Nussbaum was president of the 925 union and executive director of 9to5 until 1993. In 1993 President Bill Clinton appointed her as director of the Women’s Bureau of the U.S. Department of Labor. In 1996 she went to the AFL-CIO to head up the newly created Working Women’s Department, which was phased out in 2001.

  • Everyone Gets Sick. Not Everyone Has Time to Get Better
    Everyone gets sick. Not everyone has time to get better. A Briefing Book on Establishing a Paid Sick Days Standard July 2011 In October, I got very sick with diverticulitis. My doctor put me on bed rest for two weeks. While I was out, my boss hounded me to come back, but I was way too sick. I told him I would be back as soon as I could. I was not receiving sick pay at all. When I did go back to work early, he fired me and told me he needed someone he could count on. I worked for this man for two years. I was shocked. Sometimes things happen and you get sick. How are you to foresee these things? — Heather, Cedar Crest, New Mexico Everyone Gets Sick. Not Everyone Has Time To Get Better. Nearly two in five private sector workers — about 40 million people — don’t have a single paid sick day to recover from common, short-term illnesses. Millions more lack paid sick days to care for a sick child. Workers without paid sick days face an impossible choice when illness strikes. Either they go to work sick or send a sick child to school or daycare; or they stay home, lose pay and risk job loss or workplace discipline. Particularly in this economy, many workers simply can’t afford to jeopardize the economic security of their families by staying home. When workers lack access to paid sick days, contagious illnesses spread through our workplaces and schools. Workers without paid sick days are more likely than workers who have paid sick days to go to work sick with an illness like the flu and to send a sick child to school.

  • Co-Sponsor the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (S
    M , 2017 ay 31 Re: Co-Sponsor the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (S. 1101/H.R. 2417) Dear Member of Congress: As organizations committed to promoting the health and economic security of our nation’s families, we urge you to support the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act. This bipartisan legislation promotes healthy pregnancies and economic security for pregnant women and their families and strengthens the economy. In the last few decades, there has been a dramatic demographic shift in the workforce. Not only do women now make up almost half of the workforce, but there are more pregnant workers than ever before and they are working later into their pregnancies. The simple reality is that some of these women—especially those in physically demanding jobs—will have a medical need for a temporary job-related accommodation in order to maintain a healthy pregnancy. Yet, too often, instead of providing a pregnant worker with an accommodation, her employer will fire her or push her onto unpaid leave, depriving her of a paycheck and health insurance at a time when she needs them most. American families and the American economy depend on women’s income: we can’t afford to force pregnant women out of work. In 2015, in Young v. United Parcel Service, the Supreme Court held that a failure to make accommodations for pregnant workers with medical needs will sometimes violate the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978 (PDA). The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act will strengthen the Supreme Court’s decision in Young, by providing employers and pregnant workers with a clear, predictable rule: employers must provide reasonable accommodations for limitations arising out of pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions, unless this would pose an undue hardship.

  • SUMMARY CHART 45 Amicus Briefs Filed in the Supreme Court in Opposition to Texas’S Abortion Clinic Shutdown Law Whole Woman’S Health V
    SUMMARY CHART 45 Amicus briefs filed in the Supreme Court in opposition to Texas’s abortion clinic shutdown law Whole Woman’s Health v. Cole A diverse and impressive set of stakeholders have filed 45 amicus briefs urging the Supreme Court to once again affirm longstanding precedent and uphold a woman’s constitutional right to access safe and legal abortion services. This term, the United States Supreme Court will review provisions of a sweeping Texas law that imposes numerous restrictions on access to abortion. This case challenges two provisions in that law: (1) the requirement that doctors who provide abortion services must obtain admitting privileges at local hospitals no farther than 30 miles away from the clinic; and (2) the requirement that abortion facilities must meet building specifications to essentially become mini-hospitals (also known as ambulatory surgical centers, or ASCs). The law, commonly referred to as “HB 2”, was designed to shut down abortion clinics and has already forced more than half of Texas’ clinics to close their doors. If the challenged provisions are upheld, it will leave 10 or fewer abortion clinics open in Texas, the second-most populous state in the nation, and will gravely harm women in Texas. A broad array of organizations and individuals – including leading medical experts, social scientists, legal experts, federal/state and local governmental entities and officeholders, Republican voices, military officers, religious leaders, ethicists, reproductive rights and other civil rights advocates, and many others – have filed briefs in support of Whole Woman’s Health and other Texas providers – the Petitioners in the case – in what will be the most consequential reproductive rights case in the last two decades.
