Duke Lacrosse Case

1. How has the Investment Office selected, compensated, and controlled private equity fund managers? What explains the differences between their strategy in private equity with that in other asset classes (e.g., real estate)?

At trial, the Clayton County district attorney gets around the lack of evidence by simply allowing the white victims to describe their brutal attack at the hands of a black male. The DA piles these emotional accounts on top of false records and contradictory identifications by the victims, and the judge and all white jury never give Johnson a chance for acquittal. I found myself throwing my hands in the air and screaming at the page as I witnessed an innocent man being buried under a blanket of discrimination and blind justice, condemning him to a life in prison.

The Scottsboro boys were nine African American teenagers falsely accused of raping two white women on a train in Alabama during the year 1931. No crime in American history that never occurred has produced as many trials, convictions, and retrials as the alleged gang rape of two white girls by nine black teenagers did. This tragedy marks a time in the United States where African Americans were not receiving the right to a fair trial and encountering racism because of their skin color. This court case is seen as one of the major examples that one innocent person or in this case many innocent people have been convicted and punished for a crime they did not commit.

Rather than remaining unbiased, media outlets jumped to a conclusion of guilt in order to push a headlining story. Which tarnished the lives of the lacrosse players and very easily could have completely ruined their lives. The circumstances surrounding the individuals involved is the only reason this story got this vast coverage. By neglecting to research the facts, the media made themselves as a whole look bad. This whole incident could have been avoided had the proper actions taken place before publishing a story. Now, even though they were acquitted of all charges, the players on that Duke lacrosse team will have to live with this experience the rest of their

His mother, outraged, criticized how the school handled a child with difficulties as her son has changed from this ordeal (Nasser, 2017). While these responses are not a concern with many educational institutions, it is still an issue that should be addressed as students are having to suffer. This carelessness can cause a great deal of harm to students and it is because of this lack of support that there are already instances where people have already been caused distress. There is bias present in the article that supports Stephanie Hale’s case which can be seen by how the information is relayed. It focuses primarily on how Hale was negatively impacted by the events, reaching out to the reader’s sympathy, as well as UBC’s lack of care. There were no quotations taken directly from the university to provide their own explanation, merely information stated mostly by the victim. Hale’s poor health and education was repeated to display the inadequacy of her experience and the article included the possibility of discrimination against her without verifying with the school. While the Globe and Mail contributed in giving the necessary information, it emphasized the need of modifying the sexual assault policy in a

The media had criticized the University for being so irresponsible. Many radio stations and newspapers harshly criticized the school for this scandal. Many people had criticized McQueary for not protecting the child that was being raped by Sandusky. The media criticized him for not protecting the child and reporting it to

Brownsville, Texas the city located on the border with Mexico also known as on the border by the sea. The poorest city in Texas became a target for a homicide that impacted the family and including the community.

If we watched something that endangered someone´s life, is it our job to speak up and say something and will we be guilty if we had not said anything or done anything? In the Ruling of the Scottsboro Case, Sam Lebowitz stood up and fought for those 9 boys that were accused of rape, also in Wiesel´s Nobel Prize Acceptance Wiesel stood up and spoke about the suffering that he and the other went through, and To Kill a Mockingbird Atticus fought for the innocence of Tom Robinson. They all stood up and said something because if they didn´t, they would be guilty because they did not say anything when they can help them out. If we are bystanders, we cannot stay silent because it is our job to help out those in need even if it endangers our life.

Penn State Wilkes-Barre fell in both games of the double header against Penn State Du Bois Wednesday afternoon by a score of 5-1 and 6-1. In game 1 Wilkes-Barre would strike early in the bottom of the first after Mike Delany reached first on walk and scored on a Kerry Meyers sac bunt and a Sean-Paul Williamson single. Du Bois would have an answer in the top of the fourth capitalizing on a Wilkes-Barre error to score 4 runs on 4 hits to take the lead. Wilkes-Barre would not be able to answer falling 5-1. In game 2 Du Bois would jump out to an early lead after a Wilkes-Barre error allowing two runners from third to score in the top of the first and third. Wilkes-Barre would score its lone run in the bottom on a Francis Brodi single that allowed

First, as Penn State’s crisis management consultant, my first order of business would be to have the university make a public apology. I would make sure there was a separation between the university and Sandusky. I would make sure that the public knew that it was Sandusky’s crime and not Penn State’s crime. However, I would have terminated Spanier, Schultz, Curley, and Paterno and made it public that I intended to make sure they were prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. In addition, I would have reached out to the victims to establish communication with them, apologize and make sure that the university had no idea what was going on and that the people responsible were terminated. Additionally, there would be no delayed responses, as

ATF “GunWalking” operations came about from the criticism of the bureau for focusing on relatively minor gun violations while failing to target high-level gun smuggling figures. Currently, the U.S. firearms laws govern the possession and transfer of firearms and provide penalties for the violation of such laws. “Gun trafficking” for the most part, includes the movement or diversion of firearms from legal to illegal markets. However, A United States Government Accountability Office (GAO) report in 2009, noted that straw purchasing is not in itself illegal, although it is illegal to provide false information in connection with a purchase. Four federal statues govern U.S. commerce of firearms

Former Rep. Randy “Duke” Cunningham (R-Calif.) resigned from congress in 2005 after confessing to “evading taxes and conspiring to pocket $2.4 million in bribes” (Washington Post). Cunningham was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from California’s 51st district, which includes all of Imperial County and the extreme portions of San Diego County that run across the Mexican border. The San Diego Union-Tribune received a Pulitzer Prize for reporting on Cunningham’s bribery, which was one of the worst cases of bribe-taking on the history of Congress. The Union-Tribune’s report in June of 2005 explained that Cunningham had “sold his Del Mar-area home to a company owned by defense contractor Mitchell Wade.” Cunningham

As President of the college, I would utilize the bureaucratic, democratic, political, and ethical approaches in resolving the issue is this case study. It is very important that as the administrator of the college that this matter is handled diplomatically. The bureaucratic approach would entail using existing rules and regulations at the college to take the appropriate course of action. The democratic approach would allow key personnel and stakeholders to come together to discuss and recommend legal action for the institution, and how to proceed with the investigation. The political approach would be necessary because it is significant in how these allegations are handled and how it can affect the entire organization. The ethical approach
