Plutocratic Public Safety, Erin R. Collins
Plutocratic Public Safety, Erin R. Collins
Law Faculty Publications
Recent political events have laid bare the ways that the United States functions like a plutocracy, in which the ultra-wealthy exert influence over core governance functions. The criminal system is not immune from this influence. Big Capital shapes the operation of the criminal system in highly visible ways through its investments in policing technology, electronic monitoring systems, and correctional and detention systems. This Article shows how the economic elite shape the operation of the criminal system in a less obvious way: through philanthropic giving. Big Philanthropy provides another—albeit seemingly benevolent—avenue through which the ultra-wealthy can advance a vision of public …
Keeping Promises And Meeting Needs: Public Charities At A Crossroads, Allison Anna Tait
Keeping Promises And Meeting Needs: Public Charities At A Crossroads, Allison Anna Tait
Law Faculty Publications
When a charitable organization cannot fulfill the terms of a charitable gift agreement, it must decide whether to keep a promise or meet a need. That is to say, a charitable organization can either preserve original donor intent, adhering to conditions placed on a gift, or it can attempt to modify the terms of the gift in order to budget and spend the funds more effectively. If an institution chooses to keep a promise, it might be stuck with a fund it cannot use because of conditions placed on the money at the time of the gift. In order to …

The Will To Prevail: Inside The Legal Battle To Save Sweet Briar, James M. Giudice, J. Westwood Smithers Iii
Law Student Publications
Despite the school‘s storied past and deep historical roots, on March 3, 2015, the Sweet Briar Board of Directors announced its intention to shut down the college—permanently—the following summer. The Board cited "insurmountable financial challenges," including falling enrollment, a lack of unrestricted funds in its endowment, and the century-old school‘s lack of appeal to modern generations of students. The Board claimed the school was no longer financially viable, because though its $84 million endowment was sizeable by most measures, the school needed an endowment three times that size to stay open. Students, faculty, staff, and alumnae were blindsided by the …
Look For The Helpers, Tara L. Casey
Look For The Helpers, Tara L. Casey
Law Faculty Publications
Mr. Rogers once said, “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’“
So, as I sit and wrestle with the news stream that surrounds me, I look for the helpers. And I find ... you.
Inside of each of us is the capacity to be the helper that provides a salve to our world’s wounds. We all can be the helpers when we create,cultivate, and operate pro bono service and community engagement programs that focus on …
The Doctrine Of Charitable Immunity: Alive And Well In Virginia, Michelle Redavid Rack
The Doctrine Of Charitable Immunity: Alive And Well In Virginia, Michelle Redavid Rack
University of Richmond Law Review
Until recent years, the doctrine of charitable immunity was believed by many Virginia practitioners to be an archaic defense limited to charitable hospitals. This belief likely arose out of the fact that until 1988 every Supreme Court of Virginia case addressing the doctrine involved its application to hospitals. The Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, applying Virginia law, broadened the doctrine over the years by extending charitable immunity to a nonprofit college, a confederate memorial association, and an historical church. However, the scope of charitable immunity remained virtually untested in the Supreme Court of Virginia until the recent cases …
