Between Home And School, Laura A. Rosenbury

UF Law Faculty Publications

This article challenges family law's traditional paradigm for allocating authority between parents, children and the state. Pursuant to that paradigm, parents enjoy almost complete authority over their children while at home; the state may require children to attend school and may regulate school curricula; and children must submit to the authority of either their parents or teachers. This settled equilibrium ignores a fundamental reality: children are not confined to home and school. Much of childhood takes place in spaces between home and school, at playgrounds, churches, sporting fields, music rooms and after-school clubs. Family law has been virtually silent about …

Communications Theory And World Public Order: The Anthropomorphic, Jurisprudential Foundations Of International Human Rights, Winston P. Nagan, Craig Hammer

UF Law Faculty Publications

This Article seeks to integrate different strains of knowledge and enlightenment from contradictory and often contentious jurisprudential perspectives. Our approach is to use elements of modern jurisprudence as tools and markers for a more adequate description and intellectual justification of the foundations of modern human rights law. This focus integrates existing literature that surveys law-making outside the context of the State, including the law of non-State groups, such as Jewish Law and Gypsy Law. It also examines the relevance of communications theory to law generated (in a functional sense) by individual interaction on a face-to-face basis (which Professor Harold Lasswell …

Paper Recycling And Academic Libraries, Jack R. Fisher, Elaine Yontz

Employment Law—Title Vii And The Anti-Retaliation Provision—Beyond Employment And The Workplace: The United States Supreme Court Resolves The Split And Shifts The Balance. Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Co. V. White, 126 S. Ct. 2405 (2006)., Kaylin Redman Hart

University of Arkansas at Little Rock Law Review

In its recent decision in Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Co. v. White, the Supreme Court resolved the split along the federal circuit courts by extending Title VII's anti-retaliation provision to retaliatory acts and harms that are unrelated to employment or that occur outside of the workplace. The Court limited its holding by concluding that Title VII prohibits only those employer actions that would "dissuade a reasonable worker from making or supporting a charge of discrimination." This note examines the significance of the Supreme Court's decision in Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Co. v. White to employers and employees in …

Dying Like Men, Falling Like Princes: Reflections On The War On Terror, Edward Rial Armstrong

University of Arkansas at Little Rock Law Review

The attacks of September 11, 2001 brought home the point that even a mighty nation like ours is vulnerable to injury, and that even a goliath can sometimes be dealt a serious blow by a much smaller opponent. Faced with a world in which individuals can wield incredible destructive power and in which economic weakness can cause an empire to collapse despite its military might, what types of policies and laws should we adopt to confront these realities? In particular, what types of laws and policies should we adopt to deal with the threat of terrorism? This article proceeds on …

Creating An Adolescent Criminal Class: Juvenile Court Jurisdiction Over Status Offenders, Soma R. Kedia

Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal

The article argues that status offenders, who commit non-criminal offenses such as truancy or running away, are unfairly treated similarly to juvenile delinquents in the court system. This treatment often leads to detention in the same facilities as delinquents, which can exacerbate behavioral issues and increase the likelihood of future criminal behavior. The author advocates for a distinct approach to handling status offenders, emphasizing the need for social services and alternative programs tailored to their specific needs rather than punitive measures.

Swithgrass: A New Energy For The Future?, Lisa Novins

PEEL Alumni Scholarship

The United States consumes over twenty million barrels of petroleum products each day, over half of which is imported. Oil consumption is currently center stage in the national debate over how to address our oil addiction. Since almost half of our petroleum is used for automobiles, changing the way we power our cars is essential to any solution. A sustainable answer must combine vehicle efficiency, technological innovation, and clean renewable fuels.

Preventing And Treating Type 2 Diabetes Through A Physically Active Lifestyle, Raymond W. Leung, Jim Kamla, Man-Cheong Lee, Jennifer Y. Mak

Management Faculty Research

By the late 1960s, the increasing number of type 2 diabetic cases in children and adolescents rapidly presented a signifi cant public health issue recognized by the American Diabetes Association (2000). Since then, the prevalence of pediatric type 2 diabetes appears to be on the rise not only in the United States but all around the world (Gungor et al., 2005). In the United States, an increase from fewer than four percent to more than 50 percent of new cases of type 2 diabetes in the pediatric population was reported between the years of 1982 and 1998 (American Diabetes Association, …

Coping With Lasting Social Injustice, Jonathan R. Cohen

UF Law Faculty Publications

Sometimes we experience poetry in human life -- a sense of joy and wonder, connectedness and meaning, and occasionally even transcendence. Sometimes we do not. This is, I believe, a general aspect of the human condition. Such generality notwithstanding, different persons face different obstacles to hearing that poetry. Some obstacles are internal, rooted in an individual's personality. Others are external, deriving from an individual's family, community, or society. This essay explores one distinctive and particularly difficult external obstacle to that poetic joy: lasting social subordination. How does lasting social subordination affect a subordinated person's ability to hear that poetry? What, …

Complexity Leadership Theory: Shifting Leadership From The Industrial Age To The Knowledge Era, Mary Uhl-Bien, Russ Marion, Bill Mckelvey

Leadership Institute: Faculty Publications

Leadership models of the last century have been products of top-down, bureaucratic paradigms. These models are eminently effective for an economy premised on physical production but are not well-suited for a more knowledge-oriented economy. Complexity science suggests a different paradigm for leadership—one that frames leadership as a complex interactive dynamic from which adaptive outcomes (e.g., learning, innovation, and adaptability) emerge. This article draws from complexity science to develop an overarching framework for the study of Complexity Leadership Theory, a leadership paradigm that focuses on enabling the learning, creative, and adaptive capacity of complex adaptive systems (CAS) within a context of …

Native Roadside Perennial Grasses Persist A Decade After Planting In The Sacramento Valley, Ryan E. O'Dell, Stephen L. Young, Victor P. Claassen

West Central Research and Extension Center, North Platte

Restoring native grassland along roadsides can provide a relatively low-maintenance, drought-tolerant and stable perennial vegetative cover with reduced weed growth, as opposed to the high-maintenance invasive annual cover (requiring intensive mowing and herbicide treatments) that dominates most Sacramento Valley roadsides. A survey of long-established roadside native-grass plantings in Yolo County showed that once established and protected from disturbance, such plantings can persist with minimal maintenance for more than a decade, retaining a high proportion of native species. The survey also showed that each species of native perennial grass displays a microhabitat preference for particular roadside topographic positions, and that native …
