New York Times V. Sullivan At 50: Despite Criticism, The Actual Malice Standard Still Provides "Breathing Space" For Communications In The Public Interest, John Bruce Lewis, Bruce L. Ottley

DePaul Law Review

This year marks the fiftieth anniversary of the landmark Supreme Court decision in New York Times v. Sullivan. With the benefit of a 50-year perspective, this article focuses on three related aspects of the Sullivan decision. First, it arose from and provided protection for the emerging civil rights movement in the south.

Second, the defamation-based attack on the civil rights movement caused the Court to depart from the common law and adopt the “actual malice” standard for recovery in defamation actions brought by public officials. In this article, we also explore the legal origins of that standard.

Finally, the article …

Is Servant Leadership Inherently Christian?, Andrey V. Shirin

Journal of Religion and Business Ethics

Servant leadership has gained broad currency among Christians of various persuasions. At the same time, surprisingly little consideration is given to cultural assumptions behind servant leadership, particularly to the meaning of service in question. The paper will examine these assumptions in light of Christian tradition as reflected in works of St. Augustine. The paper will argue that, while there are some affinities between traditional Christian spirituality and servant leadership as commonly understood, this should not lead us to conclude that the latter is an outgrowth of the former. While an Augustinian theology of leadership will inevitably have a robust service …

Ethical Implications Of Catholic Social Teachings On Human Work For The Service Industry, Ferdinand Tablan

Journal of Religion and Business Ethics

This study examines from an ethical framework the circumstances of workers who are engaged in non-professional services that are offered through corporations that are organized to serve high volume of costumers. Drawing on the relevant ethical teachings of the Catholic social tradition (CST), it explores some practices, strategies, and policies that could address the problems experienced by many service providers in the United States today. CST refers to a wide variety of documents of the magisterium of the Catholic Church which respond to the changing social and economic challenges of the modern world. The study argues that the primacy of …

A New Philosophy Of Clothes: Brunello Cucinelli's Neohumanistic Business Ethics, David Larocca Ph.D.

Journal of Religion and Business Ethics

The Italian entrepreneur Brunello Cucinelli has spent decades building a successful eponymous international clothing brand from the small Umbrian hamlet of Solomeo. What is perhaps less well known is the degree to which his business ethics are informed by the long history of Western humanistic philosophy. Given that Cucinelli recently received an honorary doctorate in Philosophy and the Ethics of Human Relations from the University of Perugia, and around that time saw annual sales exceed two hundred million dollars, there is an increasing mandate to explore whether or to what extent Cucinelli’s investment in the humanistic tradition contributes positively to …

Brunello Cucinelli: A Humanistic Approach To Luxury, Philanthropy, And Stewardship, David Larocca Ph.D.

Journal of Religion and Business Ethics

Over the past few decades, the Italian clothier Brunello Cucinelli has created a highly profitable, globally present, luxury fashion line while reading medieval monastics. Entrepreneurs and business ethicists might be intrigued to explore how this apparent paradox is resolved in Cucinelli’s manner of running his company—a practice inspired, in part, by drawing widely from works in the Western humanistic and religious canon. From his study of St. Benedict and St. Francis, among others, Cucinelli has found ways of squaring particularly daunting circles: the correlation between luxury and quality; the meaning of labor for human dignity in an age of excessive …

Soil Sampling In The City: Growing Green Infrastructure On Chicago's South Side

DePaul Magazine

Thanks to funding from a competitive U.S. Environmental Protection Agency People, Prosperity and the Planet (P3) $15,000 grant, DePaul students, professors and members of the Green Teen community group gathered to work on their yearlong soil testing project in a vacant lot on Chicago's South Side. The genesis of the project dated to a year earlier, when environmental science and studies faculty members Christie Klimas, assistant professor, and James Montgomery, associate professor, submitted their grant application outlining their vision to test the soil characteristics of several vacant lots, with the goal of determining what types of green infrastructure could thrive …
