Harris V. Forklift Systems, Inc. Victory Or Defeat?, Laura Hoffman Roppe Feb 1995

Harris V. Forklift Systems, Inc. Victory Or Defeat?, Laura Hoffman Roppe

San Diego Law Review

This Casenote analyzes the significance and potential effects of the decision in Harris v. Forklift Systems, Inc., a Supreme Court case decided in November 1993. This case promulgates a framework for analysis of "hostile environment" sexual harassment claims arising under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The author sets forth the historical backdrop of the case, as well as exploring and comparing the effect of the decision in general with the decision's effect in the Ninth Circuit in particular. The author concludes that the Harris case potentially reduces women's chances of winning sexual harassment claims in the …


Report On The Consultation With The Maritime School Of Social Work Community, Dianne Pothier Jan 1995

Report On The Consultation With The Maritime School Of Social Work Community, Dianne Pothier

Dianne Pothier Collection

In my assessment there is a genuine and strong commitment to affirmative action and anti-racism at the MSSW. But that in itself is only the beginning. Real cross cultural understanding is a major challenge, and needs to be constantly worked at. In the process, mistakes will be made on all sides. Allowances need to be made for that. The School looks at itself compared to other institutions; critics look at the School compared to an ideal world. Neither perspective holds the complete truth. The MSSW needs to continue to work at the effectiveness of its affirmative action program, defining that …

The Effects Of Gender Composition In Academic Departments On Faculty Turnover, Pamela S. Tolbert, Tal Simons, Alice Andrews, Jaehoon Rhee Jan 1995

The Effects Of Gender Composition In Academic Departments On Faculty Turnover, Pamela S. Tolbert, Tal Simons, Alice Andrews, Jaehoon Rhee

ADVANCE Library Collection

Using data collected from a sample of 50 academic departments over the years 1977-88, the authors test several hypotheses about the effects of departmental gender composition on faculty turnover. They find that as the proportion of women in a department grew, turnover among women also increased, confirming the prediction that increases in the relative size of a minority will result in increased intergroup competition and conflict. The evidence also suggests, however, that when the proportion of female faculty reached a threshold of about 35-40%, turnover among women began to decline. The proportion of women had a negligible or negative impact …

Person Or Thing - In Search Of The Legal Status Of A Fetus: A Survey Of North Carolina Law, Tony Hartsoe Jan 1995

Person Or Thing - In Search Of The Legal Status Of A Fetus: A Survey Of North Carolina Law, Tony Hartsoe

Campbell Law Review

What is the status of a fetus in North Carolina? This the primary question addressed by Mr. Hartsoe as he analyzes and critiques the case law and statutory enactments which deal with this question. While there is some case law and statutory authority on point, Mr. Hartsoe concludes that there is an overall paucity of law which defines the legal status of a fetus and, furthermore, the law that does exist is inconsistent. As such, Mr. Hartsoe examines the legal status of a fetus in North Carolina in the areas of wrongful death, prenatal injury, criminal law, wrongful life, wrongful …

Conditioning A Woman's Probation On Her Using Norplant: New Weapon Against Child Abuse Backfires, Scott J. Jebson Jan 1995

Conditioning A Woman's Probation On Her Using Norplant: New Weapon Against Child Abuse Backfires, Scott J. Jebson

Campbell Law Review

Several courts have required female child abusers to choose between either going to prison or accepting the surgical implantation of Norplant as a condition of probation. In this Article, Mr. Jebson argues that a Norplant probation condition is invalid because it is both unreasonable and the probationer cannot give her informed consent to the procedure. Mr. Jebson argues that requiring a woman to choose between using Norplant and going to prison may violate her fundamental right to procreate, her right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment, and her right to freely exercise her religion. Further, the Author also …

Rosalie Wahl: Her Extraordinary Contributions To Legal Education, James F. Hogg

Faculty Scholarship

Justice Rosalie Wahl is well-known as the first woman to be appointed to the Minnesota Supreme Court, but she has made a lesser known, yet critical, contribution to the quality and effectiveness of legal education in this country. As chair of the American Bar Association's Section on Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar, Wahl created the MacCrate Commission. The MacCrate Report charts the way for improvement in law school teaching and learning, and the discussion following the report lead to the creation of an ABA Commission to take testimony and review the ABA Accreditation Standards. Wahl also chaired this …
