Rick A Stoddart

In this time of often precarious funding at many colleges and universities, any case that can be made to illustrate how a department strategically fits into the overall university mission is not only worth merit, but an essential survival technique. This “strategic credibility” within the university is a vital form of currency in determining institution-wide resources prioritization, collaboration opportunities between organizational units, and overall direction of departments. This paper presents a case study of academic special collections in the Northwest and examines the methods these departments use to demonstrate value to the university. This paper considers how well do special …

Stark Voluntary Self-Referral Disclosure Protocol (Srdp) And Stark Law, Kip Klingman

Kip Klingman

When you’ve made a serious mistake, sometimes it is best to step forward and confess before the government regulators find out on their own.

The Cyprus Peace Process:Alternative Power-Sharing Designs, Neophytos Loizides

Neophytos Loizides

The presentation will focus on the “d’Hondt system”, a Northern Irish approach to power-sharing which has contributed to broad inclusive coalitions and political stability in the province since 2007. By including all major parties to government, d’Hondt skips a problematic and time-consuming aspect of consociationalism that of forming inter-ethnic majority coalitions. The presentation will then make a twofold argument, firstly that the d’Hondt executive would likely ‘replace’ current cross-voting proposals in the Cypriot negotiations and secondly that the d’Hondt system could be more suitable and effective in capitalizing on the specific advantages of Cyprus as a federation. Finally, the presentation …

The majority of ads employed some form of English, although Macedonian and Cyrillic writing were also used. The images revealed strategic use of language and symbols, depending on the product category, business …
