Alumni Magazine & Dean's Report WINTER 2012 Alumni Magazine & Dean’s Report A NEW ERA BEGINS Message from the Dean By now, I hoPe aLL of you have heaRD aBout the PhenomenaL GIft fRom BoB mcKInney to name ouR Law schooL. It would be almost impossible to overstate the significance of this for the future of the school and for the state of Indiana. the school is now positioned to take it to the next level (to borrow an oft-used phrase from the athletic world). I should emphasize that Bob would not have made this transformational gift if he had not had the vision to see what this law school can be and the confidence to believe that his investment will be used wisely to advance the school’s greatness. thus, while we certainly have to thank Bob for that vision and confidence, we also have to thank our superb, hard-working faculty and staff that make this the excellent school that it is, the great students who make all of us proud, as well as all of the many alumni and friends who have stepped up to support the school with their time, wisdom, and dollars. without the commitment and contributions of everyone in the law school’s wonderful extended family, it would not be the kind of place that would generate the great positive momentum that Bob’s gift and all of the school’s other recent accomplishments reflect. I have often argued that our law school is and has long been the single most important educational asset in all of Indiana inasmuch as it produces most of the lawyers and judges for the state as well as much of the business and political leadership. But with the resources that Bob’s marvelous gift will provide, along with the additional funds being raised in the capital campaign and the new base budget dollars being provided by a renegotiated deal with the university lowering our annual overhead charges, the school is now positioned to evolve from being an excellent Indiana law school to being one of the nation’s best and most respected public law schools. as I mentioned, the school’s faculty plays an integral part in making our school the fine institution that it is. this issue focuses on several of our outstanding faculty. I think you will be impressed with their passion and their accomplishments. and I hope that all of you will have the opportunity soon to get to know many of the faculty who have arrived since you left, and that you will follow their careers as they lead our school to greater national and international prominence. I am sure you will be as proud of them as I am. Gary R. Roberts Dean and Gerald L.

    The McKinney Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law Lawyer Summer 2018 Issue IU McKinney Master of Laws Program Commemorates 15th Anniversary In Small Towns and Big Cities, McKinney Alumni Thrive Health Law Professors Collaborate on IU Addictions Crisis Grand Challenges Project Message from the Dean I am pleased to present this latest issue of The McKinney Lawyer, our school’s alumni magazine, designed to keep you up-to-date on happenings in the life of the law school. As I write this, it occurs to me that our school does, indeed, almost have a life of its own, with the same types of ups and downs that we experience in our individual lives. For example, in the following pages, you will read that we celebrated two anniver- saries last fall: the 15th anniversary of our Master of Laws (LL.M.) program and the 20th anniversary of our Program in International Human Rights Law (PIHRL). The LL.M. program, founded by Professor Emeritus Jeff Grove, has graduated more than 650 students from 71 countries since its inception. Our PIHRL has had a similar inter- national reach. That program, founded by Professor George Edwards, has facilitated more than 250 internship placements for students in 67 countries. We are proud of these milestones and hope that you will enjoy reading about them. In this issue, we also celebrate the many professional opportunities that our school affords to graduates. We highlight alumni who have chosen Bright Lights/Big City careers, as well as those who choose to make noteworthy impacts in smaller locales, becoming part of the fiber of the communities in which they live.

From the democratic uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa, to the quest for justice for survivors of sexual violence in Central America, and the protests against the oil sands pipeline in North America, women have emerged front and centre, as peacebuilders and commu- nity leaders, to put an end to gender violence, promote just societies, and build healthy, sustainable environments.

  • Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage
    Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage Aaron Joseph Johnson Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Aaron Joseph Johnson All rights reserved ABSTRACT Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage Aaron Joseph Johnson This dissertation is a study of jazz on American radio. The dissertation's meta-subjects are mediation, classification, and patronage in the presentation of music via distribution channels capable of reaching widespread audiences. The dissertation also addresses questions of race in the representation of jazz on radio. A central claim of the dissertation is that a given direction in jazz radio programming reflects the ideological, aesthetic, and political imperatives of a given broadcasting entity. I further argue that this ideological deployment of jazz can appear as conservative or progressive programming philosophies, and that these tendencies reflect discursive struggles over the identity of jazz. The first chapter, "Jazz on Noncommercial Radio," describes in some detail the current (circa 2013) taxonomy of American jazz radio. The remaining chapters are case studies of different aspects of jazz radio in the United States. Chapter 2, "Jazz is on the Left End of the Dial," presents considerable detail to the way the music is positioned on specific noncommercial stations. Chapter 3, "Duke Ellington and Radio," uses Ellington's multifaceted radio career (1925-1953) as radio bandleader, radio celebrity, and celebrity DJ to examine the medium's shifting relationship with jazz and black American creative ambition.

  • Indiana State Senate
    A report to supporters and members of Indiana Business for Responsive Government (IBRG), the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, and allied organizations. This report will be updated as additional election results are received in the hours and days following. Another Election for the Record Books in Indiana Indiana Business for Responsive Government (IBRG), the non-partisan political action program of the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, scored a very successful general election. 48 of 49 IBRG- endorsed candidates facing opposition were victorious, including Republicans and Democrats. Forty-three (43) additional endorsed candidates did not face general election challenges. Twelve (12) new legislators won with IBRG-endorsements. IBRG was significantly-engaged in support of six (6) top-target challenger and open-seat races, as well as successfully defending twelve (12) pro-economy incumbents seriously challenged with defeat. In one of the most dramatic turn of events in years, Republicans won significant battles for state legislative seats across the state to expand their “quorum-proof majorities.” These victories were particularly surprising to those working for months closely in campaigns and candidates, as Indiana’s public opinion environment on issues and views of incumbents was - right up until Election Day - about as bad an environment for Republicans and incumbents as seen in years. This marks the third election cycle in a row that Republicans have expanded their margins in the Indiana House and Senate. The Republicans won a net two (2) seat gain in the Indiana House of Representatives to achieve a 71-29 margin. Four (4) incumbent legislators lost reelection bids in the House (one Republican and three Democrats).
