Of 'Subtle Prejudices,' White Supremacy And Affirmative Action: A Reply To Paul Butler, Margaret E. Montoya

Faculty Scholarship

I analyze the connection of affirmative action to two models of race and racism. I contend that the Supreme Court Justices who continue to support affirmative action adhere to a "prejudice" model in which race is a concept to be overcome and racism is merely a condition of individual ignorance. 13 On the other hand, I posit that Professor Butler's proposals fall within a "white supremacy" model, which looks at race as a historically contingent concept that has been used to subordinate non-white peoples from precolonial times through the present. This historical perspective offers the possibility that the concept of …

Restoring The Humanitarian Character Of U.S. Refugee Law: Lessons From The International Community, Jennifer Moore

Faculty Scholarship

This response essay will first characterize UNHCR's role in the international protection of refugees, as a means of assessing the relevance of UNHCR's perspective to U.S. judicial decision-making in the area of asylum. The paper will then respond to each of the three problematic issues which Professor Fitzpatrick identifies in contemporary U.S. asylum law, by presenting, in each case, a broad proposition of international law which will then be substantiated with reference to relevant principles, guidelines and insights from the international refugee protection community of which UNHCR is a part. Finally, the essay's conclusion will offer a possible rationale for …

Quantitation Reference Compounds And Voc Recoveries From Soils By Purge-And-Trap Gc/Ms, Brian Schumacher, Steven Ward

United States Environmental Protection Agency: Publications

Unquantified volatile organic compound (VOC) losses occur in every phase of VOC determination including sample collection, transport, storage, preparation, and analysis. Current quality assurance/quality control measures, such as surrogate spikes and internal standards, do not account for losses that occur during sample handling nor do they account for soil matrix effects. An alternate approach, the quantitation reference compound (QRC) approach, is presented that involves direction injection of the QRCs onto the soil matrix to account for any matrix effects and losses during subsequent processing steps prior to sample analysis. Final VOC quantitation is based on the QRC instead of the …

Hydroxylation Of Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Ceramides Requires Sur2p And Scs7p, Dale Haak, Ken Gable, Troy Beeler, Teresa Dunn

Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae SCS7 and SUR2 genes are members of a gene family that encodes enzymes that desaturate or hydroxylate lipids. Sur2p is required for the hydroxylation of C-4 of the sphingoid moiety of ceramide, and Scs7p is required for the hydroxylation of the very long chain fatty acid. Neither SCS7 nor SUR2 are essential for growth, and lack of the Scs7p- or Sur2p- dependent hydroxylation does not prevent the synthesis of mannosyldiinositolphosphorylceramide, the mature sphingolipid found in yeast. Deletion of either gene suppresses the Ca²⁺-sensitive phenotype of csg2Δ mutants, which arises from overaccumulation of inositolphosphorylceramide due to …

Fundamental Rights On The Infobahn: Regulating The Delivery Of Internet Related Services Within The European Union, Patrick G. Crago

UC Law SF International Law Review

The European Union (EU), and its Member States, is currently struggling with the question of if and/or how to regulate the rapidly expanding content and services available over the Internet, an international communications medium. Some Member States are unilaterally acting to regulate the delivery of Internet related services, while other Member States are still debating whether they should regulate. The EU continues to study the issue, proposing that the Member States cooperate together to resolve the issue.

This Note posits that as a result of the uniquely international nature of the Internet, and the cultural, political, and social issues its …

The Law, Policy, And Politics Of Gillnet Restrictions In State Waters Of The Gulf Of Mexico, John Alton Duff

St. Thomas Law Review

Since 1981, every state bordering the Gulf of Mexico has introduced some form of restrictions on the use of gillnets in nearshore waters.' Many recreational fishermen and conservationists have argued that gillnets severely deplete fish stocks and indiscriminately kill marine life Seeking to conserve natural resources, conservationists have mounted campaigns aimed at restricting or banning the commercial use of gillnets. In response, commercial fishermen claim that conservationists' arguments simply cloud the real issue-resource allocation. Commercial fishermen in the Gulf of Mexico maintain that fish stocks such as mullet, red drum, and sea trout are healthy,6 and that the nets are …

Limitations Of The Adversary Approach In Our Criminal Justice System, Harry Lee Anstead

St. Thomas Law Review

If there is one thing that I would like for you to remember from my remarks today, it is the limitations of the adversary system. I would like you to keep that phrase in mind, and if you carry anything away at all to think about, let it be the limitations of the adversary system that we have in the United States.

Alternative Conceptions Of A Structure For Interconnectedness, Carmen Montecinos

Institute for Educational Leadership Monograph Series

Before we can help others "understand our interconnectedness," we ourselves must be aware of the social, political, and economic structure of the network(s) we seek to build. Following a framework developed by Riane Eisler and David Loye (1990), two contrasting understandings of the "world order" entailed in the construction of global interconnectedness will be outlined. The first approach involves a hierarchical structure, and the second approach involves an egalitarian partnership. These two models involve radically different assumptions, social practices, and consequences.

People who understand global interconnectedness from these approaches mean something quite different when they say "One is the only …

The Future Of The Multilateral Trading System In The Context Of Trips, Frederick M. Abbott

UC Law SF International Law Review

The establishment of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the coming into force of the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS Agreement) creates a new dynamic in the field of the international regulation of intellectual property rights (IPRs). The TRIPS Agreement establishes minimum IPRs protection standards on both the substantive and enforcement levels, and provides a trade-based mechanism for the enforcement of these standards. The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) continues to play a major international IPRs role, serving as a forum for the negotiation of new rules, acting to administer IPRs conventions, and providing technical assistance …
