  • Trump University a Look at an Enduring Education Scandal
    Trump University A Look at an Enduring Education Scandal By Ulrich Boser, Danny Schwaber, and Stephenie Johnson March 30, 2017 When Donald Trump first launched Trump University in 2005, he said that the program’s aim was altruistic. Coming off his success as a reality television show host, Trump claimed that the Trump University program was devoted to helping people gain real estate skills and knowledge. At the Trump University launch event, Trump told reporters that he hoped to create a “legacy as an educator” by “imparting lots of knowledge” through his program.1 Today, it’s clear that Trump University was far from charitable. In fact, Trump University’s real estate seminars often didn’t provide that much education; at some seminars, it seemed like the instructors aimed to do little more than bilk money from people who dreamed of successful real estate careers. As one person who attended the program wrote on a feedback form examined by the authors, “Requesting we raise our credit limits on our credit cards at lunch Friday seemed a little transparent.”2 Lawyers eventually filed three separate lawsuits from 2010 to 2013 against Trump University for, among other claims, “deceptive practices.”3 Donald Trump has agreed to pay a $25 million settlement to the people who attended Trump University in 2007, 2008, 2009, or 2010.4 Founded in 2005, Trump University began by offering online courses but eventually transitioned into offering in-person seminars and mentorship services.5 Overall, Trump University functioned from 2005 until 2010 with thousands of students, 6,000 of whom are covered for damages under the settlement agreement.6 Over time, as Trump sought higher profits, the company’s model shifted to offering more in-person seminars.

Gelms As our digital environments—in their inhabitants, communities, and cultures—have evolved, harassment, unfortunately, has become the status quo on the internet (Duggan, 2014 & 2017; Jane, 2014b). Harassment is an issue that disproportionately affects women, particularly women of color (Citron, 2014; Mantilla, 2015), LGBTQIA+ women (Herring et al., 2002; Warzel, 2016), and women who engage in social justice, civil rights, and feminist discourses (Cole, 2015; Davies, 2015; Jane, 2014a). Whitney Phillips (2015) notes that it’s politically significant to pay attention to issues of online harassment because this kind of invective calls “attention to dominant cultural mores” (p. 7). Keeping our finger on the pulse of such attitudes is imperative to understand who is excluded from digital publics and how these exclusions perpetuate racism and sexism to “preserve the internet as a space free of politics and thus free of challenge to white masculine heterosexual hegemony” (Higgin, 2013, n.p.). While rhetoric and writing as a field has a long history of examining myriad exclusionary practices that occur in public discourses, we still have much work to do in understanding how online harassment, particularly that which is gendered, manifests in digital publics and to what rhetorical effect.

Laliberte Doctor of Philosophy Boston College, May 2015 Dissertation Committee Chair: Dr. Curt Dudley-Marling This critical policy analysis, informed by a qualitative content analysis, examines the ideological orientation of Florida’s A++ Plan (2006), and its incumbent impact upon social reproduction in the state. Utilizing a theoretical framework that fuses together critical theory (Horkheimer, 1937; Marcuse, 1964; Marshall, 1997), Bernstein’s (1971, 1977) three message systems of education and dual concepts of classification and frame, and Collins‘ (1979, 2000, 2002) notion of the Credential Society, the study examines the ideological underpinnings of the A++ Plan’s statutory requirements, and their effects on various school constituencies, including students, teachers, and the schools themselves.

  • The Green Web: Evaluating Online News Communities and Their
    THE GREEN WEB: EVALUATING ONLINE NEWS COMMUNITIES AND THEIR ENVIRONMENTALISM By Stian Himberg Roussell A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of Humboldt State University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Social Science: Environment and Community Committee Membership Dr. Anthony Silvaggio, Committee Chair Dr. Nikola Hobbel, Committee Member Dr. John Meyer, Committee Member Dr. Mark Baker, Program Graduate Coordinator July 2019 ABSTRACT THE GREEN WEB: EVALUATING ONLINE NEWS COMMUNITIES AND THEIR ENVIRONMENTALISM Stian Himberg Roussell In the past news and media were disseminated through channels that were difficult for consumers to communicate with. Now a new form of news dissemination is taking place on the internet where communication between consumers and producers exists. Crowdsourced social media sites, where users elect and vote on articles and comments to represent a topic, are creating new forms of news dissemination which heavily alters media content and community discussions. This study was conducted in order to better understand how crowdsourced social media platforms affect users’ perception of environmental topics, issues, and problems. It focuses on the crowdsourced social media platform Reddit evaluating the top 100 articles within the subreddit titled r/environment. The methods used in this study include secondary data analysis, archival research of online forums, and social network analysis. Most articles analyzed discussed the topic of politics, including President Trump and his administration’s environmental policies, as well as a lack of transparency related to environmental policies in general. Many of the comments responded to these articles by discussing politics. Findings also included a perception that monetary and social capital must be present for individuals to facilitate widescale, meaningful environmental change.

  • Not Wanting to Believe the Results
    Not wanting to believe the results Press Criticism | By Craig Gurian | Gender equity, NYC, Politics Sept. 25, 2013 — That gender-based stereotyping still can create challenges for women who are can- didates for public office, challenges not faced by their male counterparts, is a sad reality of American political life. But the truth of that general proposition does not mean that gender-based (or other) ste- reotyping plays a meaningful role in every political campaign. Unfortunately, a post-primary article in The New York Times co-written by Kate Taylor couldn’t or, more accurately, didn’t want to, grapple fully with that latter fact. The result: a dog-that-didn’t-bark story asserting that New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn’s “fall from front-runner status to a distant third place finish in the Democratic primary is now stirring in- tense debate about whether her femaleness, or her homosexuality, played any role in her struggle to win over voters.” In over 250 stories about Actually no. While the article spends most of its time on those the mayoral race, not one who raise questions related to gender bias, it concedes that Quinn lost for a variety of reasons not related to gender or focused on the Quinn’s sexuality, including “her close association with the plutocratic dictatorial approach to incumbent mayor” and “her inability to be a change candidate what legislation saw the in an election in which voters sought new direction.” Not one light of day. person, it turns out, “blamed her loss wholly, or even mostly, on gender.” The article also had to acknowledge the results of an Edison Research exit poll.

Part I: Expanding Access to Retail Banking & Credit Introduction More than 30 million American households lack access to affordable basic banking services.1 The market for retail banking and credit does not provide affordable, equitable products for low-income communities and communities of color. As a result, expensive and often predatory alternatives have filled the market gap. Low-income Americans without access to mainstream banking and credit options spend around 10% of their income each year in fees and interest on financial services that those with access to mainstream services typically get for free.2 The COVID-19 crisis both highlighted and magnified the disadvantages associated with being unbanked, as consumers shifted even further to online payments and millions of unbanked Americans waited weeks or months to receive their stimulus payments.3 Meanwhile, other countries like China,4 Canada,5 and Brazil6 are investing in digital currencies and faster payment systems as the United States continues to lag behind.

    ThinkProgress » EXCLUSIVE: US Chamber’s Lobbyists Solicited Hackers To Sabotage Unions,... Page 1 of 2 Think Progress EXCLUSIVE: US Chamber’s Lobbyists Solicited Hackers To Sabotage Unions, Smear Chamber’s Political Opponents By Lee Fang on Feb 10th, 2011 at 4:30 pm EXCLUSIVE: US Chamber’s Lobbyists Solicited Hackers To Sabotage Unions, Smear Chamber’s Political Opponents ThinkProgress has learned that a law firm representing the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the big business trade association representing ExxonMobil, AIG, and other major international corporations, is working with set of “private security” companies and lobbying firms to undermine their political opponents, including ThinkProgress, with a surreptitious sabotage campaign. According to e-mails obtained by ThinkProgress, the Chamber hired the lobbying firm Hunton and Williams. Hunton And Williams’ attorney Richard Wyatt, who once represented Food Lion in its infamous lawsuit against ABC News, was hired by the Chamber in October of last year. To assist the Chamber, Wyatt and his associates, John Woods and Bob Quackenboss, solicited a set of private security firms — HBGary Federal, Palantir, and Berico Technologies (collectively called Team Themis) — to develop tactics for damaging progressive groups and labor unions, in particular ThinkProgress, the labor coalition called Change to Win, the SEIU, US Chamber Watch, and StopTheChamber.com. According to one document prepared by Team Themis, the campaign included an entrapment project. The proposal called for first creating a “false document, perhaps highlighting periodical financial information,” to give to a progressive group opposing the Chamber, and then to subsequently expose the document as a fake to undermine the credibility of the Chamber’s opponents.

  • Podcasting As Public Media: the Future of U.S
    International Journal of Communication 14(2020), 1683–1704 1932–8036/20200005 Podcasting as Public Media: The Future of U.S. News, Public Affairs, and Educational Podcasts PATRICIA AUFDERHEIDE American University, USA DAVID LIEBERMAN The New School, USA ATIKA ALKHALLOUF American University, USA JIJI MAJIRI UGBOMA The New School, USA This article identifies a U.S.-based podcasting ecology as public media and then examines the threats to its future. It first identifies characteristics of a set of podcasts in the United States that allow them to be usefully described as public podcasting. Second, it looks at current business trends in podcasting as platformization proceeds. Third, it identifies threats to public podcasting’s current business practices. Finally, it analyzes responses within public podcasting to the potential threats. The article concludes that currently, the public podcast ecology in the United States maintains some immunity from the most immediate threats, but there are also underappreciated threats to it, both internally and externally. Keywords: podcasting, public media, platformization, business trends, public podcasting ecology As U.S. podcasting becomes a commercially viable part of the media landscape, are its public service functions at risk? This article explores that question, in the process postulating that the concept of public podcasting has utility in describing not only a range of podcasting practices, but also an ecology within the larger podcasting ecology—one that permits analysis of both business methods and social practices, and one that deserves attention and even protection. This analysis contributes to the burgeoning literature on Patricia Aufderheide: [email protected] David Lieberman: [email protected] Atika Alkhallouf: [email protected] Jiji Majiri Ugboma: [email protected] Date submitted: 2019‒09‒27 Copyright © 2020 (Patricia Aufderheide, David Lieberman, Atika Alkhallouf, and Jiji Majiri Ugboma).
