Analysis Of Careers In And Through Intercollegiate Compliance, Michael A. Odio, Grace Wright, Thomas J. Aicher

Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics

This study examines job movements entering, exiting, and between NCAA compliance-related positions using a sample of 100 LinkedIn profiles. The analysis of the 441 job movements establishes job and organizational tenure figures and patterns in how people matriculate through certain positions. Theory related to career boundaries is used to interpret the job movements and draw conclusions about patterns related to educational backgrounds (e.g., master’s and law degrees), the role of internships and graduate assistantships, and more. The findings provide new insight on career dynamics in NCAA compliance and underscore the need to focus on studying subsectors in college sport to …

Exploring Sport Leaders’ Sensemaking And Enactment Of Inclusive Leadership, Elizabeth Taylor, Sean Dahlin, Janelle Wells, Erika Gray

Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics

While diversity, inclusion, and leadership shape individual behaviors and organizational culture, historically they have been researched as independent theoretical streams. Examining these lines has been fruitful to advance our understanding of diversity, inclusion, and leadership separately; however, we lack an understanding of how leaders understand and engage in inclusive leadership. Thus, this study explores how college sport leaders make sense of and enact inclusive leadership. Through 16 semi-structured interviews with senior-level athletic administrators we constructed four themes: fostering employees’ uniqueness, strengthening team belongingness, learning centered development, and actioning values-based care. This work both bolsters and extends Korkmaz and colleagues’ (2022) …

House Rules: Athlete, Coach, And Staff Perspectives On The Shifting Ncaa Landscape, Daniel Springer

Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics

The House settlement is an inflection point in NCAA Division I athletics, ushering in a new model of institutional revenue sharing, roster regulation, and athlete compensation. While legal and financial analyses dominate public discourse, less is known about how these shifts are understood by those working and competing within athletic departments. This study draws on narrative analysis of interviews with 11 athletes, coaches, and staff across five anonymized Power 4 institutions to examine how the House settlement is being interpreted as it takes effect. Three narrative foci emerged: 1) financial prioritization and resource allocation, 2) shifting culture, relationships, and meaning, …

The Impact Of Geographic And Community Diversity On The Transitionary Experiences Of International College Athletes, Marek Taškár, Chris Corr, Nicole Sellars, Sarah Stokowski, Karina Jolly, Trevor Bopp

Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics

International college athletes migrating to the United States for athletic competition encounter unique challenges such as language barriers, cultural adjustment, and familial detachment. These obstacles can hinder international college athletes’ transition compared to those of domestic athletes. While supportive programming and personnel have been illustrated to ease the transition and foster acculturation among international college athletes, the impact of the geographic location of an institution may impact the acculturation process for international college athletes. Given the importance of acculturation to athletic and academic success, this study examined how cultural diversity within communities hosting NCAA member institutions affects international college athletes’ …

Mobile Health (Mhealth) Access In A Dc Population With Fall Diagnosis: Background Research To Inform Equitable Access To Mhealth Platforms As Part Of An Emergency Medicine Department-Initiated Digital Fall Prevention Program, Leah Steckler, Krystl Haerian, Nasima Mannan, Addison Gwinner, Colton Hood, Michael Williams

Emergency Medicine Faculty Posters and Presentations

Background: Falls are the leading cause of injury-related death in adults over age 65 (CDC, 2024). Traditional exercise-based interventions may have an impact on fall prevention (US Preventive Services Task Force et al., 2024). Providing these programs is resource-intensive, however mHealth applications may expand comprehensive fall prevention. We seek to know if there are differences in the interactions with mHealth in adults ages 65-89 in the Medical Faculty Associates (MFA) population and if these differences are related to social determinants of health (SDOH).

Methods: IRB waiver was obtained for human subjects research. We accessed data from years 2019-2024 in Epic …

The Influence Of False Memories On Eyewitness Testimony, Shay Kossen

Honors College Theses

This paper examines the role that false memories play in eyewitness testimony. Though eyewitness testimonies are a direct source of evidence regarding a crime, they are often flawed due to the malleable and reconstructive nature of memory, leading to many wrongful convictions. This review synthesizes previous research on false memories and eyewitness testimony to analyze the factors that contribute to inaccuracies in eyewitness testimony. This paper examines the origination of false memories, highlighting key factors such as the misinformation effect, source misattribution, and retention intervals. Additionally, this review analyzes factors from previous research that increase susceptibility to false memories, the …

Songwriting At Sae Creative Institute, Molly J. Devine, Saylene Tanielu-Ulberg

Staff Scholarship - New Zealand

This article explores the integration of te reo Māori and Pacific languages into the first-year songwriting programme at the SAE Creative Institute. Co-authored by educators Molly Devine and Saylene Tanielu-Ulberg, the piece reflects on how collaborative songwriting serves as a powerful vehicle for wairua (indefinable spiritual essence) and cultural identity. By centering ancestral knowledge, cultural metaphors, and indigenous worldviews—such as the relational space of va—the curriculum empowers Māori and Pacific students to create music without fear. Ultimately, the authors highlight how reclaiming language and culture through music acts as a vital form of awakening and creative resistance against political …

Moderators Of Peer Influence Effects For Adolescents’ Smoking And Vaping Norms And Outcomes In High And Middle-Income Settings, Jennifer M. Murray, Sharon C. Sánchez-Franco, Olga L. Sarmiento, Erik O. Kimbrough, Christopher Tate, Shannon C. Montgomery, Rajnish Kumar, Laura Dunne, Abhijit Ramalingam, Erin L. Krupka, Felipe Montes, Huiyu Zhou, Laurence Moore, Linda Bauld, Blanca Llorente, Frank Kee, Ruth F. Hunter

Economics Faculty Articles and Research

Background: Peer influence is central to adolescent smoking initiation, yet its impact varies depending on individual and contextual factors. Understanding which moderators (personality, contextual, cultural, and environmental traits) shape these processes can inform more effective prevention strategies. We investigated hypothesized moderators of peer influence for adolescent smoking/vaping norms and other smoking-related outcomes in high and low-middle-income countries (LMICs): Northern Ireland and Bogotá.

Methods: Across 12 schools (n = 1,344, age 12–13 years), participants completed novel behavioral economics experiments measuring social norms, and self-report surveys, before and after school-based prevention interventions (ASSIST and Dead Cool). We examined how peer influence …

Exploring Runtime Evolution In Android: A Cross-Version Analysis And Its Implications For Memory Forensics., Babangida Bappah

LSU Master's Theses

Userland memory forensics has become a critical component of smartphone investigations and incident response, enabling the recovery of volatile evidence such as deleted messages from end-to-end encrypted apps and cryptocurrency transactions. However, these forensics tools, particularly on Android, face significant challenges in adapting to different versions and maintaining reliability over time due to the constant evolution of low-level structures critical for evidence recovery and reconstruction. Structural changes, ranging from simple offset modifications to complete architectural redesigns, pose substantial maintenance and adaptability issues for forensic tools that rely on precise structure interpretation. Thus, this paper presents the first systematic study of …

Administrative Variability & The Price Of Title Ix Compliance On Minority-Serving Institutions, Jacob Wall

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights and Social Justice (ERSJ) Blog

The Department of Education (“ED”) enforces civil rights in education through Title IX. Title IX prohibits sex-based discrimination in federally funded educational programs, and promotes inclusion in higher education.  Significantly, Title IX enforcement depends on the executive branch controlling the ED, as this power rests with both the Department of Justice and the ED’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR). Historically, judicial enforcement of statutes like Title IX relied on agency interpretation under Chevron U.S.A., Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc., which required judicial deference to executive agencies when statutes are ambiguous.  However, the Supreme Court’s 2024 decision in …
