"Don't Ask, Don't Tell": A Qualified Defense, Eugene R. Milhizer

Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal

Upon the 10th Anniversary of the so-called “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, I was asked to reflect upon the policy by Hofstra University. This article presents my remarks at a symposium dedicagted to this topic. The article first reviews in detail the origins of the policy. It then explores the moral debate implicated by the policy, including the traditional arguments against homosexuality with special attention to the natural law, and latitudinarian arguments in favor of homosexuality or opposed to discrimination based on the basis of homosexuality. The article next surveys contemporary attitudes about homosexuality, focusing on military service by homosexuals. …

Liberty, Diversity, Academic Freedom, And Survival: Preferential Hiring Among Religiously-Affliated Institutions Of Higher Education, Jamie Darin Prenkert

Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal

This article discusses the exemptions given to religious educational institutions from the usual Title VII protections afforded employees. The author supports the use of such exemptions when they promote diversity and protecting the fundamental foundation of the institution itself, but warns that there is a point where the exemptions must not be used even when they are within the power of the institution to invoke. Such inappropriate instances include promoting faculty or granting tenure to faculty members who are not of the religious persuasion of the institution, or hiring the best and brightest faculty over the professor who simply agrees …

Same-Sex Marriage: The Evolving Landscape For Employee Benefits, Neal S. Schelberg, Carri L. Mitnick

Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal

This article deals with the aftermath of the Goodridge decision in terms of employment benefits for partners in a same-sex marriage, particularly in the interstate context. Because marriages in one state are generally recognized in all other states, the article focuses on how employers must treat a Massachusetts same-sex marriage in light of the Defense of Marriage Act and its prohibition of same-sex marriage for the purpose of federal employment benefits.

The Continuing Relevance Of Race-Concious Remedies And Prgrams In Integrating The Nation's Workforce, Michael L. Foreman, Kristin M. Dadey, Audrey J. Wiggins

Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal

The authors argue that achieving diversity should be one of the main legitimate justifications for affirmative action programs, in addition to the traditionally cited "remedy for past discrimination" justification. The authors describe the legal framework for affirmative action beginning with the Civil Rights Act of 1964. They discuss the various types of affirmative action plans - public and private, court ordered and voluntary. The article concludes with a discussion of Department of Justice and EEOC policies towards affirmative action, arguing that the federal government should be the biggest proponent of such programs.

Facially Neutral No-Rehires Rules And The Americans With Disabilities Act, Christine Neylon O'Brien

Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal

This article deals with the issue of whether alcoholism should qualify as a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Under this theoretical category, an employee or potential employee would have a cause of action once he shows his disability no longer interferes with his ability to perform his job. One example of a prospective plaintiff is a recovering alcoholic. The author addresses the difference between a disparate impact claim and a disparate treatment claim and asserts what employers should do to ensure they do not run afoul of the ADA.

The Non-Merger Virtual Merger: Is Corporate Law Ready For Virtual Reality?, Stuart R. Cohn

UF Law Faculty Publications

The term virtual mergers describes the relatively recent phenomenon of companies entering into contractual arrangements that are functionally, but not legally, equivalent to mergers prescribed by corporate statutes. Virtual mergers usually involve the shared use of assets contributed by each of the companies. A central element of the transaction is that the two companies remain legally independent, each with its own directors, officers, and shareholders. The arrangements can usually be terminated by either party, allowing each company to return to the status quo ante or exercise buyout rights if contractually provided.

Although virtual mergers have occurred among public companies in …

Making Motherhood Safer In Egypt, Karima Khalil, Farzaneh Roudi-Fahimi

Reproductive Health

Fewer Egyptian women die of maternal causes today than they did 10 or 15 years ago, due in large part to the national safe motherhood program. Nevertheless, maternal mortality is still relatively high, and the country faces challenges in reducing it further. Many of these challenges involve addressing the delays women face when they need essential obstetric care. In Egypt and other countries, most maternal deaths could be avoided if women had timely access to high-quality emergency obstetric services. Although Egypt’s level of maternal mortality is relatively high by international standards, recent evidence suggests that a woman’s lifetime risk of …
