The year was full of study and examination of services in an effort to meet increasing demands with continual declines in the tax base. The year also held many challenges and produced some changes. The primary concern throughout most of 1992 was the budget. In response to Governor Carlson's proposed cut in Local Government Aid (LGA), the Library's administrative staff and union representatives worked together to draft a series of proposed budget reduction plans to reach a 2, 4, or 6% cut, depending upon the level of the Library's LGA reduction. The loss of LGA was not the only threat in 1992. The Library Board also reached its maximum levy limit which, as a consequence of the declining tax base, resulted in a lower budget. This will be a continuing issue in the coming years. The most significant change of the year was in the Library's logo. Duffy Design Group unveiled the new Library graphic image at the January 8 Board meeting. Their goal was to create a symbol that would be unique to MPL and which would represent Minneapolis and its residents. First of all, the graphic image is simply a representation of the name, Minneapolis Public Library. It represents three things: the people; the place; and things. It was important that the name and the initials be part of the logo. The "M" became a representation of Minneapolis - the place. The "P" represents the people and, in an abstract way, represents a figure or person's head looking down. The "L" represents the Library but also represents a book. The words "Minneapolis Public Library" were used to create a frame around the symbol and to also represent the path people take when they are looking for something in the Library - the path they start at and the path they end at to find information. The process to implement the new logo was completed in mid-December with the new stationery, business cards, and notecards ready to go to print for use in early 1993. As a result of the Community Library building study and planning process which began in 1991, the Board held a series of meetings in March and April with residents from the Hosmer and Roosevelt Community Library service areas. These meetings were an opportunity for citizens to discuss Library services with the Board of Trustees and Library staff. The planning process continued throughout the year and a variety of architectural firms were hired to conduct feasibility studies for select community libraries in order to prepare a plan for the City Capital Long Range Improvement Process in 1993. The Site Analysis Committee of the Blue Ribbon Task Force held several meetings throughout 1992, concluding its task late in the year. A final report, to be presented to the Board in January 1993, included several "desirable" sites for a new Central Library: the Nicollet Hotel block; the existing Central Library block; the Ritz block; the Powers block; the LaSalle/Davis block; the Physicians and Surgeons block; and the Carlson block. -9- The process to revise the Library Board Policy Manual seriously began in 1992 in an effort to streamline the Manual and remove outdated language and obsolete policies. In October the Board began a serious and lengthy review of the Manual. In accordance with policy, each proposed revision was presented for review twice and approval at a third meeting. The process will be completed in spring of 1993 and the Manual will be published and distributed to all agencies. A significant change in the office was the implementation of an automated index system. With the purchase of LOTUS MAGELLAN software, the Library Board minutes manually typed card file index was discontinued at the end of 1991. MAGELLAN served as the only index starting in 1992. The new automated feature allows for expanded searching capabilities and access to Committee minutes which had never been indexed. This new system is retroactive to January 1990 when the minutes were first keyboarded on the personal computer. The use of floppy disk storage will allow for continued growth of the index and easy access. The next challenge will be to network the personal computers in Administration - a challenge which is far in the future. There were several initiatives and changes for staff in 1992. More programs and opportunities were available for staff with the introduction of the "MPL Eyeopeners," bimonthly, informal sessions of the professional staff and the Director. The free-flowing, open system allowed for discussion of many of the issues facing the Library. The Library also began a "Spectrum" series for all staff covering varied but interesting topics with guest speakers throughout the year. The "Spectrum" series was open to all staff members and programs were well-attended. The year was also one of employee recognition. In January the Executive Committee selected three employees, nominated by their peers, to receive the Award of Excellence for 1991: Joanne Bondy, Webber Park Community Library; Mary Rathman, Preparations; and Terry Veth, Electronic Data Processing. Joanne was recognized for her contributions to the Library through her outstanding programs and workshops for children and staff and for her supportive, and extensive, community involvement. Mary spent much of the past year in developing a procedure for preserving the Government Documents Department's 19th Century maps through encapsulation. Her work helped the Library receive a grade of "excellent" in the area of collection maintenance in the Government Printing Office 1991 inspection. Terry spent numerous hours at the Library during the implementation of the automated Geac system and his commitment of time and energy resolved problems quickly and efficiently in order to implement the public access catalog. The MPL Employee Awards of Excellence for 1992 were announced in December. Grace Belton, Sumner Community Library; Jerry Blue, Sociology Department; and Lois Ringquist, Children's Services Department were the honored recipients. Grace, for her work in the field of literacy, helping to link the importance of reading to children and parents and for her ability to make Sumner Library a place in which all people - no matter what their ethnic heritage - feel at home. Jerry for being a "one man public relations person for MPL" and his involvement in numerous committees and community programs such as the MPL Suggestion Committee and Staff Association, the Black Storytellers Alliance, and his work with the United Way, the Work & Family Spectrum Board, among others. Lois for her knowledge of children's literature, her commitment to providing high quality professional service and demonstrating that high standard in creating the "Rainbow" booklist. Three other staff members were also recognized for their achievements with the presentation of the first annual Directo1·'s Certificate of App1-eciation. Maribeth Bacig, Erin Foley, and Nancy Kweik for their work with -10- the Superbowl Hotline and information booth for the Final Four Events in Minneapolis. Their work resulted in national recognition for the Library and they have already been contacted by other libraries faced with staffing a hotline for national sports events. In April, the Greater Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce contacted the Director's Office about its Minneapolis Youth Work Internship Program. Namsamay Vongsy ("Binky"), a junior

    Indoor Environmental Quality + Classroom Environment UMTC John T. Tate Hall (Tate Hall) Renovation Minneapolis, MN April 2019, Minneapolis, MN Sustainable Post-Occupancy Evaluation Survey (SPOES) B3 Guidelines Caren S. Martin, PhD Abimbola Asojo, PhD (contact: [email protected]) ([email protected]) Martin & Guerin Design Research, LLC Suyeon Bae, PhD Minneapolis, MN College of Design University of Minnesota 1.0 Overview The purpose of this report is to examine the connection between sustainable design criteria used in the design of the UMTC John T. Tate Hall (Tate Hall) facility and occupants’ satisfaction with their classroom environments located in this building. The Tate Hall facility renovation was designed using the 2009 B3 Guidelines (formerly known as the Minnesota Sustainable Building Guidelines or MSBG), which were in effect at the time that the new facility was completed for occupancy in August 2017. The B3 Guidelines track specific state-funded, B3 buildings as a means of demonstrating real outcomes aimed at the conservation of energy resources, creation and maintenance of healthy environments, and occupants’ satisfaction with their environments. The Sustainable Post-Occupancy Evaluation Survey (SPOES) was developed to assess human outcomes in workplace, classroom, and residence hall settings in compliance with the B3 Guidelines project tracking requirements. This is a report of occupants’ (hereafter called students) responses at 14 months post-occupancy. The survey was conducted in late-October through early-November 2018. This SPOES report focuses on students’ satisfaction with the physical environment as related to 23 indoor environmental quality (IEQ) criteria such as lighting, thermal, and acoustic conditions in their primary classrooms.

  • Bargaining Inequality -(6.6.2021)
    Draft – please do not circulate or cite without permission of the author BARGAINING INEQUALITY: EMPLOYEE GOLDEN HANDCUFFS AND ASYMMETRIC INFORMATION Anat Alon-Beck* Assistant Professor Case Western Reserve University School of Law ABSTRACT The problem of inaccurate unicorn firm valuation is very severe and well documented in the finance literature. Unicorn employees cannot value their equity grants, including stock, because they do not have access to fair market valuation or financial statements and, in many cases, are denied access to such reports, even if they ask for them. Startup founders, investors, and their lawyers have systematically abused equity award information asymmetry to their benefit. This Article sheds light on the latest practice that compels employees to waive their inspection rights as stockholders under Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) Section 220 as a condition to receiving stock options from the company. DGCL Section 220 provides protection to stockholders by allowing them to exercise their ownership rights and inspect the books and records of a Delaware corporation. In Delaware, this ownership right cannot be eliminated or limited by a provision in a corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws. But there is ambiguity in the case law with regards to the ability to eliminate this right via private ordering. Unicorn employees—who are not yet stockholders— are now regularly coerced to waive this inspection right by entering into a contract with the corporation, in the form of a stock option agreement. As a result, their employers, who are unicorn fiduciaries, get the benefit of operating without oversigh from minority common stockholders - their employees.

  • Yale Law School Commencement Remarks May 22, 2006 Harold
    Yale Law School Commencement Remarks May 22, 2006 Harold Hongju Koh Dean, Yale Law School Distinguished Guests, Faculty Colleagues, Families, Friends, and Members of the Graduating Class: Welcome, all of you, to the Yale Law School’s 2006 Commencement Exercises. We gather here this afternoon to celebrate an institution, to graduate a class, and to renew a solemn commitment. The institution is the Yale Law School, the class is the remarkable Class of 2006, the commitment is to a tradition of humanity and excellence in the study of law that dates back several centuries. Although this is Yale University’s 305th Graduation, we cannot say with precision exactly what number Yale Law School graduation we celebrate today. But the graduating class that will march before you in a few moments represents at least the 192nd group of law students to receive their legal education at Yale. If you are keeping track, that was three years before Chief Justice Isaac Parker of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts founded a law school north of here at Harvard in 1817, and 32 years before a law school was founded at Princeton, which then closed just six years later. The lineal ancestor of the Yale Law School was the Litchfield Law School, founded some 50 miles northwest of here, which between 1780 and 1830, trained about 1000 lawyers for the new American republic. Around 1800, more than 200 years ago, a Yale college graduate named Seth Staples began taking on apprentices here in his New Haven office, including two students, Samuel Hitchcock and David Daggett, with whom he began the New Haven law school that eventually became the law school of Yale University.
