Department Chairperson Behaviors: Enhancing The Growth And Development Of Faculty, Myra S. Wilhite

Department of Agricultural Leadership, Education, and Communication: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

The major purpose of this study was to identify behaviors used by academic department chairpersons to assist faculty professionally and to describe conditions which affect those behaviors. Descriptive research design was employed in this study with major emphasis on the interview method of data collection and subsequent descriptive analysis. The survey population was 30 academic department chairpersons representing ten of the twelve North Central Region Land-Grant Colleges of Agriculture. Six case studies were presented to demonstrate how chairpersons assist "troubled" faculty. Chairs were convinced that many potential problems could be averted by frequent interaction and continual monitoring of faculty performance. …

Historical Commentary: Vietnam And Revisionism, David Culver

Bridgewater Review

Last year General William Westmoreland told a Boston College audience that politicians caused America's defeat in Vietnam. Westmoreland’s charge reflects recent Vietnam War revisionism, the effort to rationalize America’s defeat by claiming that United States forces were prevented from winning. Besides the politicians, who reduced military spending, the revisionists’ cast of villains includes the media and antiwar dissenters, who turned the nation against the war, and various Presidents, who restricted military operations. If polls are to be believed, these interpretations are widely held by Americans, especially Vietnam veterans.

The Confinement Of Juveniles In Nebraska Jails And Lockups, Lorie A. Fridell, Vincent J. Webb

Center for Public Affairs Research (UNO): Publications

Using adult jails and lockups for confining youths is a major issue in juvenile justice. Proponents of removing children from these facilities are concerned with the conditions of confinement, the .ate of suicide among youths held in adult facilities, the excessive use of secure confinement for youths, and the legal liability of jurisdictions that hold juveniles in adult facilities. Nebraska has made significant progress in reducing the number of youths confined in adult jails and lockups, but has yet to pass legislation or develop programs and facilities to complete the task. Policy options for reducing the use of secure confinement …

Community Banking Issues In Nebraska, Alfonso J. Garza, William R. Hosek

Center for Public Affairs Research (UNO): Publications

During the 1980s, community banks in Nebraska have been challenged by a weak agricultural economy and by deregulation of the financial services industry. Bank profits have fallen and many banks have failed. Of the two problems, deregulation may have more far reaching consequences as it increases the competition faced by community banks. Community banks will have to take advantage of new technology, new marketing strategies, and new sources of income to remain viable. Public policy should aim at removing regulatory and tax barriers that constrain community banks.

Financing Public Elementary And Secondary Schools In Nebraska, C. Cale Hudson, Katherine Lewellan Kasten

Center for Public Affairs Research (UNO): Publications

Nebraska's system for funding public schools is deteriorating. Shifts in population, variations in tax capacity, and changes in the mission defined for public schools make the current system inadequate and inequitable. Funding problems are compounded by the large number of school districts which divide human and financial resources in the state unequally. Problems in the finance system are described, and suggestions for determining the minimum education program to be funded, the most cost-effective organization of school districts, measures for fair acquisition of funds, and procedures for equitable allocation of state aid to public schools are discussed.

Nebraska's Small Towns And Their Capacity For Economic Development, David F. Paulsen, Burton J. Reed

Center for Public Affairs Research (UNO): Publications

Small Nebraska towns have declined in population and wealth. while facing increasing demands, higher costs, and more problems. For them, economic development may be a way out. We found that participation was related to inplace governmental capacities and physical facilities. In turn, these capacities were related to the size and wealth of the communities. However, some smaller and poorer communities did participate, against the odds, suggesting that commitment is required. Federal, state, and other agencies offer help in development, apparently on demand. Rather, help should be directed to those small towns with a demonstrated capacity and commitment, given limited resources. …

Groundwater Quality And Policy Options In Nebraska, Mary E. Exner, Roy F. Spalding

Center for Public Affairs Research (UNO): Publications

Potential contaminants and the occurrence of groundwater contamination in Nebraska are discussed. An overview of Nebraska's policy response to groundwater quality reveals that the policy has been fragmentary and generally reactive. Although a comprehensive groundwater quality protection strategy is needed if the groundwater is to be protected from potential point and nonpoint sources of contamination, it must recognize the site-specific nature of most groundwater contamination. The Nebraska Chemigation Act and the Petroleum Products and Hazardous Substances Storage and Handling Act passed in 1986 were the first comprehensive legislation addressing prevention of point source contamination. Proactive policies for the prevention of …

Nebraska Policy Choices (1987): Preface, Russell L. Smith

Center for Public Affairs Research (UNO): Publications

Research was undertaken during 1987 concerning prison overcrowding and displaced workers; the results are planned for publication in the 1988 edition of Nebraska Policy Choices.

A vital part of the process of producing each volume of Nebraska Policy Choices is the use of external academic and layperson reviewers. This year, 18 reviewers assisted in the process. (A list of reviewers is included at the end of the volume.) As with any review process, the reviewers did not always like what the authors were saying or how they were approaching the topic. Likewise, the authors did not always agree with …

Landlord Self-Regulation: New York City's Rent Stabilization System, 1969-1985, W Dennis Keating

Law Faculty Articles and Essays

This article argues that New York City's self-regulation system failed. Its ultimate demise is attributable to several factors: the attempted insulation of decision making from public influence; the attempted exclusion of tenants from the decision-making structure; landlord domination of regulatory bodies and policies; widespread patterns of landlord violations of the rent destabilization code; the failure of regulatory bodies to adequately enforce available sanctions for code violations; and the emergence of countervailing tenant opposition, the subsequent politicization of critical issues and decisions and the eventual deligitimation of the system's structure.

Appraisal Of University-Based Research In Urban Transportation, Kenneth Dueker, Edward Beimborn, Sheldon Edner

Center for Urban Studies Publications and Reports

University-based research in transportation, particularly urban transportation is in disarray. This disarray stems from a major decline in research funding in real terms available to universities and from a lack of a consistent policy and practice with respect to research in transportation. As a result, university researchers are pursuing new options for both basic and applied research in transportation. This paper sets forth issues involved in developing university-based research programs in transportation. Particularly, it argues for a more open and peer review based process for a basic transportation research program. This paper provides a context for needed assessment of the …

Book Review, Progressive Cities And The Tenants Movement, W Dennis Keating

Reviewing The Progressive City, Pierre Clavel, Planning and Participation, 1969-1984, Rutgers University Press, 1986.

Editor's Note, Padraig O'Malley

New England Journal of Public Policy

Less than ten years ago, the Sun Belt states were the focus of the kind of excessive attention we have come to associate with our propensity to assign cause, time, place, and date to account for little-understood social phenomena. The decline of the Northeast was virtually irreversible, according to the new wisdom, the rise of the West and Southwest obviously inevitable. Change had more to do with "the mysterious hand of Providence" or the caprice of oil sheiks than with policy — we prefer being comforted, it seems, to being informed.

Explanations of our condition that reinforce our perceived beliefs …
