Academic Leadership In Ivy Tech State College: Academic Chairs’ Tasks And Job Challenges, Michael Petty

Academic Leadership: The Online Journal (2003-2012)

This study was conducted to establish baseline information about Ivy Tech State College academic chairs’ personal/background characteristics and to determine those chairs’ rating of the importance of their tasks and their perceptions of the job challenges they will face in the future. In addition, the study compared Ivy Tech chairs’ personal/ background characteristics and perceptions of their tasks and job challenges with the findings of the 1992 International Community College Chair Survey. Although there were some statistically different ratings, in essence both samples of chairs highly rate the importance of their myriad tasks and they are in general agreement as …

Nebraska Suppressed: How Gagging The News Media Intensified Pretrial Press Coverage Of The Simants’ Murder Case, Nancy Whitmore

Scholarship and Professional Work - Communication

Nebraska Press Association v. Stuart(n1) began with the issuance of a court order that prohibited the publication of testimony and evidence presented at a preliminary hearing of a suspected mass murderer. With this judicial action, a press-bar contest ensued that hamstrung the media's reporting capabilities as it struggled for seventy-nine days under four gag orders to cover one of the most brutal murders in Nebraska history. Throughout the controversy, the Nebraska press chose to comply with the restrictive orders; and this article examines the effects of that choice. Specifically, it explores how the Nebraska press functional under the various restrictive …

The Current Debate On Juror Questions: "To Ask Or Not To Ask, That Is The Question", Nicole L. Mott

Chicago-Kent Law Review

This Article addresses the concerns as well as the advantages when courts allow jurors to submit questions to the court and/or witnesses. Based on reviewing the content of 2,271 juror questions submitted in 164 cases, the author categorizes what jurors typically ask and to whom jurors direct their questions. Most juror questions were directed to witnesses and experts. In both criminal and civil cases, jurors typically asked facts about the case, motives of both the witness and the defendant/party, and common practices of professions often unfamiliar to laypersons. In criminal cases, jurors were more likely to question specific eyewitness evidence …

Jurors And The Future Of "Tort Reform", B. Michael Dann

Chicago-Kent Law Review

Jurors are not supposed to allow their personal attitudes about the law, including tort law, affect their decision. This Essay asserts, however, that jurors, acting as conscientious and impartial decision makers, in fact do have cognitive and emotional "stakes" in tort litigation, namely the trial process that they are subjected to, and in making fair and equitable decisions. Various "tort reform" proposals affect, for better or worse, jurors' abilities to understand the evidence and the law, apply the law to the facts, and do justice. The author, a former trial judge, and a self-confessed "jurorcentric" supporter of jury trial reforms, …

When All Of Us Are Victims: Juror Prejudice And "Terrorist" Trials, Neil Vidmar

Chicago-Kent Law Review

On September 11, 2001 all Americans became victims. The threat of terrorism at home and abroad, now and for the indefinite future, is not only to their physical safety and economic well-being, but also to their deeply held social and political values. The terrorists have been identified as members of the Muslim faith and most are of Middle Eastern ethnic descent. This Article discusses the problem of persons accused of being terrorists, or aiding terrorists, obtaining a fair trial in the light of this national victimization. Research conducted for the "American Taliban" case of John Walker Lindh, reported in the …

A Conservative Perspective On The Future Of The American Jury Trial, Robert P. Burns

Chicago-Kent Law Review

The American jury trial has evolved in a way that is deeply respectful of the dense complexity of competing values that pervade our common life. The consciously structured hybrid of languages and practices of which the trial is composed reflects those values fairly. The trial is thus the crucible of democracy. Simplistic understandings of the trial rooted in a form of legal positivism and an affection for bureaucracy threaten it. We must be very careful of distorting the architecture of what we have achieved in one of greatest achievements of our public culture. This is not to say that reform …

Proof Beyond All Possible Doubt: Is There A Need For Higher Burden Of Proof When The Sentence May Be Death?, Leonard B. Sand, Danielle L. Rose

Chicago-Kent Law Review

Recent studies conclude that errors occur in the American capital punishment system with such frequency that it is entirely foreseeable that, if continued unaltered, numerous innocent persons will be executed. Assuming that this is unacceptable but that America will wish to continue to utilize the death penalty in its justice system, the authors believe that society has a duty to try to reduce the frequency of such errors. The authors propose that the requisite burden of proof in the penalty phase of a capital trial should be raised from beyond a reasonable doubt to beyond all possible doubt. The …

Technology Service Solutions: New Wine In Old Wineskins?, Elizabeth A. Pawlicki

Chicago-Kent Law Review

This Comment examines the National Labor Relations Board's decision in Technology Services Solutions, which held—via application of the Supreme Court's "reasonable alternative means" test-that an employer did not commit an unfair labor practice when it refused to provide the union attempting to organize the employer's teleworking customer service representatives with employees' names and addresses. After reviewing the evolution of union access rules, Pawlicki argues that by endorsing the application of traditional union access rules to the nontraditional telework environment, the National Labor Relations Board effectively denied an emerging segment of U.S. workers a right that has long been a …

Materials Characterization At Utah State University: Facilities And Knowledgebase Of Electronic Properties Of Materials Applicable To Spacecraft Charging, John R. Dennison, C. D. Thomson, J. T. Kite, V. V. Zavyalov, Jodie Corbridge

All Physics Faculty Publications

In an effort to improve the reliability and versatility of spacecraft charging models designed to assist spacecraft designers in accommodating and mitigating the harmful effects of charging on spacecraft, the NASA Space Environments and Effects (SEE) Program has funded development of facilities at Utah State University for the measurement of the electronic properties of both conducting and insulating spacecraft materials. We present here an overview of our instrumentation and capabilities, which are particularly well suited to study electron emission as related to spacecraft charging. These measurements include electron-induced secondary and backscattered yields, spectra, and angular resolved measurements as a function …

Variations In Control And Display Gain In A First Control Order Compensatory Manual Tracking Task, Micah N. Morris

Master's Theses - Daytona Beach

There exist many factors that contribute to the optimal manual control of a system by a human operator (HO). Two such variables include control gain and display gain. Of particular interest to the following experiment is the contribution of these two variables to the manual tracking performance of any HO conducting a compensatory tracking task while using a first control-order tracking system. Since the optimal level of control gain required for maximal manual control of a tracking device is system dependent, it may be expected that the same holds true of display gain. Regardless, it is the purpose of the …

Nitric Oxide Mediates Seasonal Muscle Potentiation In Clam Gills, Louis F. Gainey Jr., Michael J. Greenberg

Faculty Publications

The physiology and timing of gill muscle potentiation were explored in the clam Mercenaria mercenaria. When isolated demibranchs were exposed twice (with an intervening wash) to the same concentration of 5-hydroxytryptamine, the second contraction was larger than the first. This potentiation was seasonal: it was present from November through June, and absent from July through October. Potentiation was not affected by the geographic origin of the clams, nor by their acclimation temperature. Potentiation was inhibited by the nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor L-NAME and mimicked by the nitric oxide (NO) donor DEANO. During the season of potentiation, immunoreactive NOS appeared …

Race, Diversity, And Jury Composition: Battering And Bolstering Legitimacy, Leslie Ellis, Shari Siedman Diamond

Chicago-Kent Law Review

Impartiality is both elusive and important for the legitimacy of the jury and its decisions. After presenting a realistic version of impartiality that recognizes how jurors reach judgments, we present empirical evidence demonstrating the costs incurred when the promise of impartiality appears to be violated. We then evaluate various approaches aimed primarily at increasing the racial heterogeneity of juries. Finally, we describe a simplified, multimethod approach that combines improvements in source lists and a simple non-race-based geographic adjustment to improve the appearance and reality of jury impartiality by increasing jury heterogeneity.

A Voir Dire Of Voir Dire: Listening To Jurors' Views Regarding The Peremptory Challenge, Mary R. Rose

Chicago-Kent Law Review

The use of the peremptory challenge during jury selection continues to be a source of controversy, in part because critics are concerned about the attitudes and reactions of those allegedly excused on the basis of stereotypes, i.e., "for no reason." In the present research, a sample of people excused from criminal juries via the peremptory were followed-up and asked to speculate on why they were excused, as well as to rate their experience with jury selection on a number of dimensions. I hypothesized that even if all rationales involved some amount of "stereotyping," people's views about being excused should vary …
