  • UCASA 2005 Annual Report
    PRESS KIT FOR MEDIA PROFESSIONALS REPORTING ON SEXUAL ASSAULT Dear Media Professional: The Utah Coalition Against Sexual Assault (UCASA) is committed to advancing a society in which sexual violence is not tolerated. As a member of Utah’s media, you can help as you report on sexually violent crime in the state. This press kit provides sexual assault resources, facts, and tips on interviewing survivors of sexual violence. Unfortunately many myths about sexual assault are still prevalent in our culture and society and those myths may stand in the way of victims and perpetrators of sexual assault from getting the help they need. Rape and sexual assault victims in Utah are 90 percent more likely to be attacked by someone they know than a stranger. Victims and perpetrators of sexual assault can be young or old, male or female, straight or gay, wealthy or poor — sexual assault is a crime that doesn’t discriminate. By educating yourself on the dynamics and facts about sexual assault in Utah and the nation, you can help inform and educate the public about this crime and help advance a society that will not tolerate sexual violence. UCASA is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization and is the only organization of its kind addressing sexual violence issues statewide. UCASA serves as an umbrella coalition for rape crisis programs, victim advocate programs, and institutions and organizations that respond and provide services to victims of sexual violence. UCASA provides training and resources, and fosters a sense of community and statewide support. UCASA believes that through social change we can influence attitudes, beliefs and standards that will change people’s behavior from ignoring, excusing, condoning and even encouraging sexual violence to taking action, intervening, and promoting respect, safety and equality.

San Juan County et al. 2:12-cv-00039 CW, United States District Court for the District of Utah I, Garth Massey, declare the following: Personal Background and Research Qualifications Relevant to this Report I am an Emeritus Professor of International Studies (now Global and Area Studies) at the University of Wyoming. I was the director of the International Studies Program 1998-2008 when I retired from my position. My BA degree was awarded by the University of Missouri-Columbia in 1970. I earned the doctoral degree from Indiana University in 1975. The previous year, 1974, I joined the faculty of the University of Wyoming and remained a faculty member in the Department of Sociology at that university for three decades. My current curriculum vita is attached containing more details about my career, publications and other scholarly writing, research grants funded, and contact information. I have devoted most of my scholarly work in comparative sociological and interdisciplinary research to the topics of rural social change, social inequality, labor and work-related issues, and after 1988, interethnic relations and ethnic conflict. I have received fellowships, research grants and sabbatical leaves in order to carry out research in several parts of the world: Eastern Europe (Hungary and the former Yugoslavia), Africa (Tanzania and Somalia), and the Middle East (Israel and Palestine). My original interest in social change led to research projects in Wyoming communities that focused on energy-related community impact and changes in Wyoming’s labor force.

  • Salt Lake County FHEA: Section 4
    SECTION IV DISPARITIES IN OPPORTUNITY Introduction The objective of this section of the FHEA is best expressed in the following quote from HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan. Sustainability also means creating “geographies of opportunity,” places that effectively connect people to jobs, quality public schools and other amenities. Today too many HUD-assisted families are stuck in neighborhoods of concentrated poverty and segregation, where one’s zip code predicts poor education, employment and even health outcomes. These neighborhoods are not sustainable in their present state. The data, tables and figures in this section provide current and historical context for evaluating equity and opportunity in the cities and neighborhoods of Salt Lake County. Ultimately the information developed in the FHEA regarding neighborhood disparities in opportunity will be integrated into the community development strategy to enhance equity and opportunity. Opportunity Index HUD provided an opportunity index to quantify the number of important liabilities and assets that influence the ability of an individual, or family, to access and capitalize on opportunity. HUD created five indices; school proficiency, poverty, labor market, housing stability and job access. With these five measures, a single index score or composite score for opportunity was calculated for each census tract by HUD. Using the census tract data BEBR created an average opportunity score and scores for all opportunity dimensions for the county and each city. These scores were calculated at the
