Private Standards, Public Governance: A New Look At The Financial Accounting Standards Board, William W. Bratton
Private Standards, Public Governance: A New Look At The Financial Accounting Standards Board, William W. Bratton
All Faculty Scholarship
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) presents a puzzle: How has this private standard setter managed simultaneously (1) to remain independent, (2) to achieve institutional stability and legitimacy, and (3) to operate in a politicized context in the teeth of op-position from its own constituents? This Article looks to governance design to account for this institutional success. The FASB’s founders made a strategic choice to create a regulatory agency that sought independence rather than political responsiveness. The FASB also set out a coherent theory of accounting, the “Conceptual Framework,” to contain and direct its decisions. The Conceptual Framework contributed …
Fair Use Harbors, Gideon Parchomovsky, Kevin A. Goldman
Fair Use Harbors, Gideon Parchomovsky, Kevin A. Goldman
All Faculty Scholarship
The doctrine of fair use was originally intended to facilitate those socially optimal uses of copyrighted material that would otherwise constitute infringement. Yet the application of the law has become so unpredictable that would-be fair-users can rarely rely on the doctrine with any significant level of confidence. Moreover, the doctrine provides no defense for those seeking to make fair uses of material protected by anti-circumvention measures. As a result, artists working in media both new and old are unable to derive from copyrighted works the full value to which the public is entitled. In this Essay, we propose a solution …

Bright Idea: Connecting To Users With Facebook, Cliff Landis
Bright Idea: Connecting To Users With Facebook, Cliff Landis
Georgia Library Quarterly
The author relates his decision to establish an Ask a Librarian social networking group for students at Valdosta State University in Georgia. One of the appeals of social networking Web sites to users is the variety of services in one interface. He discovered that many students are using the Facebook site while researching. He recommends the creation of individual accounts because Facebook discourages institute-wide accounts.

Exploding Head Syndrome: Engaging Students Through Real-Life Examples, Stephanie Wiegand
Exploding Head Syndrome: Engaging Students Through Real-Life Examples, Stephanie Wiegand
University Libraries Publications
Although students have a difficult time verbalizing why a source is reliable and scholarly (or why it is not), they often declare the information as good or bad with ease, and are often correct in their determination. The struggle becomes great when they must determine when enough information is enough. In this session, attendees will learn of some real-life examples that can be worked through with students to illustrate when and why finding more information is a good idea. The main example centers on nursing undergraduates and embedded Information Literacy sessions in their foundation classes. Most of these students are …
Lower Court Discretion, Pauline Kim
Lower Court Discretion, Pauline Kim
Scholarship@WashULaw
Empirical scholars typically model the judicial hierarchy in terms of a principal-agent relationship in which the Supreme Court, the principal, sets policy and the lower federal courts, as agents, must implement that policy faithfully. The law is a signal - the means by which the Court communicates its preferences. This article argues instead for recognizing the law as an independent normative force. Empirical scholars fail to take seriously the role of law because they reject as implausible formalistic accounts of its operation. This article advances a more nuanced account of how law shapes the decision-making environment, one that focuses on …

Comic : An Exploration Into Computer-Mediated Intercultural Communication, Simone Alder
Comic : An Exploration Into Computer-Mediated Intercultural Communication, Simone Alder
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
This thesis explores how cultural differences manifest themselves in computermediated intercultural communication (CoMIC). This study particularly looks at the role and use of digital nonverbals (DNVs) and their regulatory functions. The data analyzed is from a global virtual team working together for a period of three months. The grounded theory method has been employed to code the electronic transcript of the team's communication. Furthermore, the participants were surveyed regarding their personal backgrounds, their work, and their perception of the communication processes that took place. The study shows that in an intercultural communication process DNVs are used to avoid intercultural misunderstandings …
Privacy's Other Path: Recovering The Law Of Confidentiality, Neil M. Richards, Daniel J. Solove
Privacy's Other Path: Recovering The Law Of Confidentiality, Neil M. Richards, Daniel J. Solove
Scholarship@WashULaw
The familiar legend of privacy law holds that Samuel Warren and Louis Brandeis invented the right to privacy in 1890, and that William Prosser aided its development by recognizing four privacy torts in 1960. In this article, Professors Richards and Solove contend that Warren, Brandeis, and Prosser did not invent privacy law, but took it down a new path. Well before 1890, a considerable body of Anglo-American law protected confidentiality, which safeguards the information people share with others. Warren, Brandeis, and later Prosser turned away from the law of confidentiality to create a new conception of privacy based on the …
Relic Hunting, Archaeology, And Loss Of Native American Heritage At The Dalles, Virginia L. Butler
Relic Hunting, Archaeology, And Loss Of Native American Heritage At The Dalles, Virginia L. Butler
Anthropology Faculty Publications and Presentations
Assesses the damage done to Native American sites and heritage by relic hunters and archaeologists digging in the mid-Columbia River region that was inundated by completion of The Dalles Dam in 1957. Long before the dam was built,relic hunters disturbed grave sites and mounds in their search for artifacts. The artifacts went into private collections or were sold, without concern for their context or for the rights and concerns of native people. The article also discusses the development of the profession of archaeology and the ways professional archaeologists were complicit in the desecration of native sites. Sites along the river …
Perils Of Being Friends With College Administrators, Michael W. Firmin
Perils Of Being Friends With College Administrators, Michael W. Firmin
Psychology Faculty Publications
This conceptual paper addresses an issue that may never be a problem for some in higher education, and yet may be the Achilles' heel for others. No absolute answers exist regarding befriending administrators, but I will address some of the dynamics that inherently are involved with the phenomenon and also various potential perils. To be clear, I am addressing situations where a faculty member is a friend with a Dean or Academic Vice President. In some contexts, the principles also may apply to friends in a position lower, such as Department Chair, or higher, such as Provost or institutional President. …

Kim Chi-Ha's Poetry Of Yesterday And Today, Gerrit Van Dyk
Kim Chi-Ha's Poetry Of Yesterday And Today, Gerrit Van Dyk
BYU Asian Studies Journal
I n the 1970s, the Korean poet Kim Chi-ha was perhaps the most internationally well known Korean artist. During this time, Kim wrote many poems speaking out against the Park Chung Hee regime which began with Park’s coup in 1961. One of Kim’s most famous works, “The Five Bandits” (The Golden-Crowned Jesus and Other Writings) was so politically charged that it began a series of incarcerations of the poet on allegations of communist sympathies. Many international organizations and dignitaries defended Kim and called on Park to release the poet from prison. After Park’s death, Kim was released, and …
