Twu's Case Summary

Richard Veller, the new CFO for Union Medical Center, began to change the operations of their management. Richard Veller looked to change UMC to an industrial system, which meant that the hospital would view cases as products. Just like any ordinary business, these products would have cost objects and would require an accounting system. In order to allocate costs appropriately, UMC was required to organize their cases into Diagnosis Related Groups to create a functional management control system. These changes brought certain internal issues into the spotlight. If solutions are not found, the hospital will not be able to implement their plans.

To decide how to distribute the 10,000 remaining cures I would begin by using the maximization of health and priority of the worse off principles of cost-effective decision making. By selecting patients that are most in need of the cure and those that will benefit the most from it without long-term complications, I feel that this best way of distributing the cure for saving lives, which would be my ultimate goal. Those with stage 4 cancer would be saved; while, those that were in no immediate danger of dying would be able to receive regular treatment until more cure was produced or their condition worsened.

Recently, in the year 2013, there was a case brought to the Supreme Court’s attention that was first trialed in the district court. That case’s name was Fisher vs. University of Texas. It was in this case that the plaintiff, Abigail N. Fisher filed suit against the University of Texas with the claim that the University had violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 13th Amendment. The main question that arose in the question was, “does the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment permit the consideration of race in undergraduate admissions decisions”. The overall decision of the Supreme Court was that the University of Texas hadn’t violated the Equal Protection Clause, and in fact that they were permitted to consider race in the admissions process. I do agree with the Supreme Court’s decision. I agree with said decision because the argument made by the plaintiff Fisher was weak, and the rights of life and liberty weren’t in any way tampered with in the admissions process that the University of Texas was going through in the situation suited.

(American Bar) The district court dismissed the lawsuit and was affirmed by the Eighth Circuit court. The case, however, was appealed and accepted by the Supreme Court. Trinity Lutheran asserted that the church is simply participating in a public state program and that this has nothing to do with religion since it is meant to “to protect children from cuts and bruises on the playground.” Although the case at first doesn’t seem controversial at all, opponents argue that a Supreme Court decision in favor could have broad and unintended consequences. Camilla Taylor, a senior counselor at Lambda Legal [LGBT-rights advocacy firm], argued that a ruling in favor of this case could have policy implications as “government funds will then be used to provide social services on a discriminatory basis” to churches like Trinity Lutheran. (The

Mrs Chief Justice and may it please the court. The issue that was brought up in this case was whether the Equal Access Act violated the Establishment which permitted government from creating any law that favors a religion over any other. The school officials believe that by granting Mergen’s religious group full access to form a club would create a whole new problem that it would be very difficult to ensure every religious group gets what they demanded. The officials had made this decision also because they are required to, citing from the establishment clause, establish an environment without the endorsement of any religious belief. While It make sense that the board of education of westside community school wanted to take a neutral position at religion because they are funded and regulated by the state and federal government, they did not know that by doing so they violated the Equal Access

In Virginia, a historic state military institute was criticized for not allowing females into a historically male university. The Court found that Virginia could not show a substantial correlation to any governmental interest. They said, “a tenable justification must

This leads to the questions Should all public colleges comply with Title IX? Is accepting LGBT students just a means to increase campus diversity statics? Why do colleges punish LGBT students for showing sexuality on campuses? In this paper, I will analyze whether all colleges private and public should comply with Title IX, if sexual orientation has to do with the admission process, and whether campuses lie about being accepting of the LGBT community.

Gary Bowman, an Oklahoma resident and professing Christian, filed civil action against the University of Arkansas Fayetteville claiming deprivation of rights. Bowman sought declaratory, injunctive relief, and damages due to the University of Arkansas’s restrictions established by the University’s enacted Fayetteville Policies and Procedures 708.0. The policy states a five-day cap for use of university property by non-university personnel and a three-day advance notice application. There for the legal issue questions whether or not the requirements defined by policy 708.0 unconstitutionally vague and were they used to discriminate against Bowman thus violating the rights given to him by the 1st and 14th amendments?

This article shows government courts taking fairly unexpected cases. The Supreme Court took on a case about race issues in college admissions offices, when public universities are typically regulated by their respective states. This case about race moved its way from the lower, local courts to federal appeal courts, which is something not very typical. These cases could be dealt with through the school system or at the state level. This is not an issue that

The District Court correctly held in favor of Reilly & Wolf in its findings of no liability under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act for hostile environment sexual harassment by a coworker. Company policy manuals carry the same weight as a set of rules for a business, and if they are not followed properly, then there should be consequences. Reilly & Wolf worked hard on making an harassment policy that would allow point persons to receive notice, and prevent sexual harassment from recurring. If violators are able to ignore company policy, then it would be worthless and serve no function in a business. Reilly & Wolf worked hard on making an harassment policy that would allow point persons to receive notice, and prevent sexual harassment from

The majority of this case, by Sandra Day O’Connor, states that it is not prohibited by the Equal protection clause to use race in admission decisions in the case that they are trying to further benefit all student body by having a more diverse population. If they are in fact targeting a race and not attempting to promote diversity, then it is a different situation. Additionally, since the school does view each application, and they are not simply looking at race, it is providing that the decision is thought through and not just dependent on race. It is noted that the law school’s intent to create diversity does not harm a whole body of people, and is not a mass issue, only an issue to create more diversity. Also, with this Law School being

Christian legal society argue the policy overstep the first amendment and Hasting stated the policy is reasonable and viewpoint-neutral condition.
