Towards A Federated Identity And Access Management Across Universities, Jameel Alsulami Apr 2021

Towards A Federated Identity And Access Management Across Universities, Jameel Alsulami

Doctoral Dissertations and Master's Theses

Many research projects are too complex to yield the efforts of a single investigator and require a coordinated effort from interdisciplinary research teams across universities and industries.

All Faculty Scholarship

Recent prominent judicial opinions have assumed that common carriers have few to no First Amendment rights and that calling an actor a common carrier or public accommodation could justify limiting its right to exclude and mandating that it provide nondiscriminatory access. A review of the history reveals that the underlying law is richer than these simple statements would suggest.
