Demanding Accountability In Domestic Violence Courts, Johnna Pike Nov 2018

Demanding Accountability In Domestic Violence Courts, Johnna Pike

Violence Against Women conference

This presentation explores whether specialized domestic violence courts are achieving their stated objective of abuser accountability. Domestic violence emerged from the private realm of family life into the public consciousness during the 1970s. Since then, there has been a largely successful movement to reframe domestic violence as a “real” social problem necessitating meaningful criminal justice intervention. Within the criminal justice system, victim and feminist groups have mostly prevailed in controlling the discourse around domestic violence as a gender-based offense. As a result, a criminal court model aimed at empowering victims and at holding abusers accountable has emerged. However, the efficacy …


Sexual Violence Against Women In An Armed Conflict, Nowsheen Altaf Dar, Benish Mehraj Nov 2018

Sexual Violence Against Women In An Armed Conflict, Nowsheen Altaf Dar, Benish Mehraj

Violence Against Women conference

Documentation of life under militarization has mostly been done by “men writing about men.” The need to have a gendered perspective of conflict and war was only recently introduced in the academic discourse after the collective violence against the women of Bosnia and Rwanda in the 1990s was given the attention it deserved by the international media. In Kashmir, women are subjected to violence through physical, sexual, and mental harassments. The very nature of the conflict has pushed Kashmiri women to the wall, putting the burden of violence on their shoulders. Women face physical and sexual assault at checkpoints, during …


Creating A Workplace Culture Of Civility And Respect: Preventing Unlawful Harassment And Discrimination, Rose Davenport Nov 2018

Creating A Workplace Culture Of Civility And Respect: Preventing Unlawful Harassment And Discrimination, Rose Davenport

Shared Knowledge Conference

This research project identifies a plan to study best practices addressing unlawful workplace harassment and discrimination in New Mexico-based hospital healthcare systems. Initially, this project focusses on Presbyterian Healthcare Services and the University of New Mexico Hospital, with the possibility of including other local healthcare systems. In light of recent developments from “#MeToo” and “Time’s Up” movements, the issues of unlawful sexual harassment and discrimination are hot topics in today’s society and need to be more openly addressed by all levels of an organization, in order to identify these issues head-on and hopefully prevent them from continuing to occur in …

Trial Of Young Adults And Sanctions Against Them, Albulena U. Ukimeraj

UBT International Conference

The juvenile delinquency issue is also regulated by the Kosovo legislation, respectively with the Juvenile Justice Code. This Code, also addresses the issue of adjudication of young adults. To these category, a special and more favorable status is been recognized comparing to the older persons in criminal procedure conducted against them, because of their different personality features and their different reaction in specific situations.

Essential Air Service: A Lower Rung On The Pilot Shortage Food Chain?, Michael Peck Aug 2018

Essential Air Service: A Lower Rung On The Pilot Shortage Food Chain?, Michael Peck

National Training Aircraft Symposium (NTAS)

The Essential Air Service (EAS) program, established in 1978 by the federal government as a temporary measure designed to help remote communities cope with the impact of airline deregulation, subsidizes flights to certain destinations that would not otherwise have ready access to commercial air service. The airlines participating in this program fly relatively smaller aircraft and have traditionally hovered at the lower end of the salary scale. Their pilots are, nevertheless, subject to the same flight experience requirements as the major carriers. The national (or perhaps international) pilot shortage has caused some EAS carriers to abruptly terminate service leaving the …

Title IX Summit

The social media movement #MeToo spread virally in October 2017, bringing into the national consciousness a dialogue around sexual harassment and assault that has been ongoing in higher education for many years. With revelations of harassment and assault across numerous industries being disclosed on a near daily basis, and the media, policy makers, and the public at large more focused on these issues than ever before, what has changed for colleges and universities? This workshop will focus on lessons higher education can learn from the experiences of institutions that have made headlines in the era of #MeToo.

Title IX Summit

As Title IX professionals, we are charged with providing opportunities to challenge our students’ behaviors and perceptions.

Title Ix: Where Is It Today?, Claudia Costa, Esq., Benjamin Levine, Esq. Jun 2018

Title Ix: Where Is It Today?, Claudia Costa, Esq., Benjamin Levine, Esq.

Title IX Summit

The new administration brought many changes. A new Dear Colleague Letter was issued and a position was adopted with respect to transgender students. The position taken by the new administration is at odds with many local laws and even with the position which the EEOC holds today. Similar conflicts exist in the courts throughout the country. Moreover, cases involving bathroom access are on the rise and so too are the costs of resolving them. This panel shall discuss the changes being made by the new administration and the trends in the courts in the face of these changes.
