Who’s Afraid of White Class Migrants? On Denial, Discrediting, and Disdain (And Toward a Richer Conception of Diversity)
Creators: name: Pruitt, Lisa R.
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Gender and Law
Year: 2015

description: This Article describes and theorizes the legal academy’s denial of both class disadvantage and class migration, with particular attention to how those phenomena are manifest in relation to white faculty. The Article observes that a general disdain for poor and working-class whites evolves into the denial and distancing of class migrants, those who move into the professoriate from lower socioeconomic stations (“SES”). Further, the academy simultaneously discredits and disciplines these class migrants when they run afoul of narrow norms regarding credentials, scholarship, and culture. The author employs storytelling as methodology, drawing on her own experiences as a white class migrant to illustrate some of these phenomena.

From ancient origins to poetic revelations : exploring perceptions of yoga in early Islamicate and Sanskrit literatures in India, 200-1500 CE
Creators: name: Jones, Laura
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: This thesis compares depictions of yoga in literature with the practices and philosophies described in yoga treatises between 400 BCE and 1500 CE. This comparison, while broad, will help establish a basis for future research into the pre-modern public perception of yoga and yogis, as well as provide some insight into how yoga evolved and was received both in the exogenous and endogenous spheres. This study employs a mixed-methods approach combining intellectual history, adaptive reuse, and intertextuality studies. It begins by examining yoga and philosophy treatises that provide the basis for various popular schools of yoga. The second section looks at early Islamicate engagements with yoga. The final section analyzes depictions of yoga in Sanskrit literature. The primary findings indicate that non-yoga practitioners in premodern South Asia were both curious about yoga while also wary of its claims to unlock magical powers in dedicated practitioners. There seemed to be a public awareness of what yoga was and who practiced it, but until the early-medieval period, circa seventh century CE, it was not recognized as a homogenous school. While the depictions of yogis all represented ascetics, the actual practices, abilities, and beliefs themselves diverged drastically, and whether it was accepted as a legitimate set of practices seemed to depend on the author more than their background. These results suggest that there was never any single definition of yoga, nor a broadly recognized school of yoga. Rather, there was an array of people who practiced asceticism and operated on the peripheries of the established religious traditions. The literary responses were initially curious. Yoga became more formalized in the second millennia and adopted more transgressive practices, and the writers were more cautious about the schools, often depicting them as blasphemous. Around 1500 CE we see more acceptance of yoga practices by writers.

description: The rise of artificial intelligence and data science across industries underscores the pressing need for effective management and governance of machine learning (ML) models. Traditional approaches to ML models management often involve disparate storage systems and lack standardized methodologies for versioning, audit, and re-use. Inspired by data lake concepts, this paper develops the concept of ML Model Lake as a centralized management framework for datasets, codes, and models within organizations environments. We provide an in-depth exploration of the Model Lake concept, delineating its architectural foundations, key components, operational benefits, and practical challenges. We discuss the transformative potential of adopting a Model Lake approach, such as enhanced model lifecycle management, discovery, audit, and reusability. Furthermore, we illustrate a real-world application of Model Lake and its transformative impact on data, code and model management practices.

Veterans face higher rates of behavioral health disorders and suicide than the general population, often stemming from combat exposure, separation from family, and experiences of trauma. Untreated conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and substance use disorder can lead to unemployment, homelessness, and family instability. Many veterans now rely on community-based care due to limited access to VA services, but provider shortages hinder treatment. To address this, our team recommends a statewide Veteran Peer Support Specialist program to expand access to behavioral healthcare. The policy would enhance North Carolina’s Certified Peer Support Specialist Program to better support and train veterans as peer specialists. Similar efforts in other conservative states have seen bipartisan success. While some grant support is expected, we estimate $15 million in state funding will be needed over the program’s first three years.

Still Using the Wrong Yardstick: Measuring Quality by the Proxies of Bias, Conformity, and Rumor
Creators: name: Dyson, Maurice R.
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Gender and Law
Year: 2015

description: It is well overdue to confront the three main ill-advised measurements that perpetuate persistent discrimination in legal academia: bias, conformity, and rumor. When proxies for quality are measured by benchmarks of innuendo, it does a disservice to the legal academy, the individual faculty, the student body, and the legal profession that is shaped by that culture and set of practices. Furthermore, what is valued as noteworthy contributions to service, teaching, and scholarship remains a rigged and biased system of evaluation that is detrimental to the educational process. Finally, conformity to the majority may also operate as a disservice by marginalizing divergent voices in a way that is harmful to academic freedom and the intellectual robustness of the academy. When non-conformity is admirable in raising student awareness or introducing alternative effective models of pedagogy or perspective, it should be rewarded rather than penalized. Yet penalization is too often precisely what happens, and many in legal academia are caught in a perfect storm trifecta of bias, rumor, and the sanctions imposed for non-conformity. The machinery of maligning rumor, once initiated, is difficult to cease or reverse course. How much of one’s reputation lies in the hands of close friends in a close-knit, so-called “old buddy” network, in the criticism of avowed colleagues or students with an axe to grind, or in institutional affiliation is quite disturbing, and even more so when it indelibly shapes decisions of appointment, tenure, promotion, retention, recognition, and pedagogy. Rumor is processed as truth—spread, repeated, perpetuated, and never questioned.

Oil and Water: How Legal Education’s Doctrine and Skills Divide Reproduces Toxic Hierarchies
Creators: name: Jewel, Lucille A.
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Gender and Law
Year: 2015

description: The longstanding categorical distinction that elevates doctrinal teaching over skills teaching continues to harm the profession of law. In this Article, I consider two distinct effects produced by the doctrine/skills dichotomy. First, the dichotomy is responsible for reinforcing class, gender, and race segmentation in legal education, which limits the quality of instruction that law schools can provide and abets the reproduction of existing power relations in the legal profession and society at large. Second, the antipodal positioning of doctrine and theory over skills and practice harms law schools’ ability to prepare a new generation of law students to engage in both critical lawyering and law reform. As American society becomes increasingly unequal and as its criminal justice system barrels well past the breaking point, we desperately need the next generation of law students to participate in a new era of structural law reform. But unlike the last major era of reform in the United States (the Progressive Era), where ill-conceived top-down solutions were theorized and implemented by a small subset of elite lawyers, this time, reform should emerge from a coalition of lawyers hailing from all law schools and all levels of society. Even in legal education’s current situation, with tenure for law professors on the chopping block due to declining student enrollment and legal employment prospects, law schools should commit to collapsing the false binary between doctrine and skills. In this Article, I will first describe the disparate treatment and conditions that make the skills professorate the “other professorate.” I will then explain how the dichotomy (1) reinforces harmful race, class, and gender hierarchies in the legal academy and (2) produces an elitist knowledge hierarchy that prevents students from obtaining a holistic legal education. Finally, I will argue that bridging the skills/doctrine divide is necessary to prepare all law graduates to participate in civics-based law reform.

description: To better understand the initial conditions of the high-mass star formation process, it is crucial to study at high-angular resolution the morphology, the kinematics, and eventually the interactions of the coldest condensations associated with intermediate-/high-mass star forming regions. The paper studies the cold condensations in the intermediate-/high-mass proto-cluster IRAS 05345+3157, focusing the attention on the interaction with the other objects in the cluster. We have performed millimeter high-angular resolution observations, both in the continuum and several molecular lines, with the PdBI and the SMA. In a recent paper, we have already published part of these data. The main finding of that work was the detection of two cold and dense gaseous condensations, called N and S (masses ~2 and ~9 M_sun), characterised by high values of the deuterium fractionation (~0.1 in both cores). In this paper, we present a full report of the observations, and a complete analysis of the data obtained. The millimeter maps reveal the presence of 3 cores inside the interferometers primary beam, called C1-a, C1-b and C2. None of them are associated with cores N and S. C1-b is very likely associated with a newly formed early-B ZAMS star embedded inside a hot-core, while C1-a is more likely associated with a class 0 intermediate-mass protostar. The nature of C2 is unclear. Both C1-a and C1-b are good candidates as driving sources of a powerful CO outflow, which strongly interacts with N and S, as demonstrated by the velocity gradient across both condensations. Our major conclusion is that the chemical properties of these pre-stellar cores are similar to those observed in low-mass isolated ones, while the kinematics is dominated by the turbulence triggered by the CO outflow and can influece their evolution.

title: From Kant to Durkheim
Creators: name: Stedman Jones, S. G
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2022

description: This thesis concerns the relationship between Kant and Durkheim as expressed in the philosophy of Charles Renouvier. His 'Neo-Criticisme' presents itself as both a retention and critique of the principles of Kant's 'Criticisme'. And it contains the theoretical premises of Durkheim's socioloay. The thesis traces the transformation of thought effected by Penouvier to Kant's Critical Philosophy. In particular it is claimed that the Copernicanism which marks the interpretation of human reality for Renouvier and Durkheim, has its oriqin in the philosophical revolution in epistemology and morality effected by Kant. Part One examines the historical and analytic preliminaries for the development of the ideas in Part II, III and IV. The development of Durkheim's sociology is seen as occurring during a period of thought marked by a return to Kant. Part One traces the development of Durkheim's idea of the sociology of knowledge as a form of post-Kantian Copernican science. The goal of this is to discover the principles involved in human knowledge: these are the categories which express the a priori in knowledge. For Durkheim the origin is social, whereas for Kant these principles are intellectual. Renouvier's critique of Kant Abstract 1 ~ • is seen as providing a transition between the two. Part III looks at the conflict of reasons in the Kantian system entailed by determinism and how Renouvier develops a non-deterministic conception of causality that is available to a human science, and through this reconciles the reasons split by Kant. This analysis reveals that for Renouvier and Durkheim in contradistinction to Kant, the necessity which governs all of human experience is a moral necessity. Part IV looks at the laws of the moral order: the principles of a Copernican morality are Duty, Unity and Autonomy
A Bisexual Perspective on Law School Hiring

description: There is still a significant amount of discrimination in the legal academy relating to many different issues, including race, gender, sex, sexuality, and class. The most overt discrimination that I have faced has been based on being bisexual. This has been exacerbated by the fact that some of my scholarship is about sexuality. In this short Article, I focus on discrimination in law school hiring based on bisexuality. The topic is important because discrimination against bisexuals in the legal academy (and elsewhere) is little understood and often invisible. Additionally, because it was the type of discrimination that was the most apparent to me in the hiring process, I have important insights to share about it. Furthermore, the invisibility and lack of understanding of bisexuality mean that even people who are broad-minded and committed to social justice may discriminate against bisexuals without realizing it.

Inhomogeneous whistler turbulence in low beta space plasmas

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Space Physics (physics.space-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A nonlinear two dimensional fluid model of whistler turbulence is developed that nonlinearly couples wave magnetic field with electron density perturbations. This coupling leads essentially to finite compressibility effects in whistler turbulence model. Interestingly it is found from our simulations that despite strong compressibility effects, the density fluctuations couple only weakly to the wave magnetic field fluctuations. In a characteristic regime where large scale whistlers are predominant, the weakly coupled density fluctuations do not modify inertial range energy cascade processes. Consequently, the turbulent energy is dominated by the large scale (compared to electron inertial length) eddies and it follows a Kolmogorov-like $k^{-7/3}$ spectrum, where $k$ is a characteristic wavenumber. The weak coupling of the density fluctuations is explained on the basis of a whistler wave parameter that quantifies the contribution of density perturbations in the wave magnetic field.

How can we begin decolonizing the management of chemical risk? : identifying barriers towards achieving data justice and indigenous data sovereignty in Canada’s chemical management process
Creators: name: Eronen, Elina
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: A growing body of research is demonstrating that the ways in which environmental and health data is collected, analyzed, utilized, stored, and shared has not only restricted the ability of Indigenous communities and experts to influence such processes, but has also lessened the relevance and usefulness of data for Indigenous communities. These present data structures, which rest on colonial thought styles, are also complicit in harms done to Indigenous peoples, making the need for change vital. My research aims to shed light on the ways in which Canada’s current data practices in chemical risk management form barriers to meaningful and respectful inclusion of Indigenous needs, expertise, and knowledge, specifically from the perspectives of data justice and Indigenous data sovereignty (IDS). This was done through a modified version of the brokered dialogue method through which I facilitated dialogue about present data practices between government staff with expertise in Canadian chemicals risk management and the research team, which includes experts with considerable expertise in Indigenous knowledge systems. The dialogue took place in the form of a series workshops and individual conversations with me, with workshops informing the content of the conversations, and the conversations guiding the direction of the next workshop. Three key barriers to data justice IDS were identified on the basis of what would be most actionable for the Government Team. Firstly, the existing methods of engaging Indigenous peoples are not inciting meaningful engagement. Secondly, the government tends to practice one-way communication wherein information is conveyed passively to the public without attempts at actively listening to the public. Thirdly, Indigenous peoples are not treated as rightsholders, but instead spoken of and treated as the public or stakeholders. These three findings present barriers to data justice and IDS in chemical risk assessment as they impede the ability of Indigenous peoples, communities, and Nations from making or determining data-related decisions and actions. For the purpose of beginning the process of decolonizing chemical risk assessments, I recommend that the government prioritizes actions towards meaningful engagement.

description: Ferroelectric domains were investigated using piezoresponse force microscopy in superlattices composed of multiferroic BiFeO3 and SrTiO3 layers. Compared to single BiFeO3 thin films, a reduction in the domains size and a suppression of the in-plane orientation of domains are observed in a superlattice of (BiFeO3)4(SrTiO3)8, suggesting a constrained ferroelectric domain orientation along the out-of-plane <001> direction. Such modification of domain size and orientation in BiFeO3-based heterostructures could play a vital role on engineering the domains and domain wall mediated functional properties necessary for device applications

It reports on an expert evaluation of the voting mechanisms of each website and a quantitative data analysis of users' aggregate voting behavior. The results suggest that voting follows different patterns across the websites, with higher barrier to vote introducing a more of one-off voters and attracting mostly experts. The results also show that that one-off voters tend to vote on popular items, while experts mostly vote for obscure, low-rated items. The study concludes with design suggestions to address the "wisdom of the crowd" bias.

description: Modern atomic physics experiments use precisely engineered optical intensity profiles to trap and manipulate atoms. These profiles are created by optical systems based on spatial light modulators (SLMs) and acousto-optic deflectors. SLMs can, in theory, produce nearly arbitrary two-dimensional and select three-dimensional intensity profiles though technical challenges have largely limited SLMs to the formation of optical tweezer arrays. In this thesis, I present computational and experimental methods to greatly expand the set of achievable intensity profiles. For 2D profiles, finding an optimal phase distribution for the SLM is the primary challenge; I demonstrate a novel phase-smoothing approach to eliminate optical vortices and allow for better convergence. I also show results from a camera feedback procedure that corrects for aberrations not considered in the computational model. Finally, I present results from two methods of generating arrays of 3D bottle beams: spliced phase gradients and acousto-optics. These results highlight the viability of our methods for future use in neutral atom experiments.

The Article explores the rationales for and against converting legal writing faculty to tenure-track, and shares one law school’s experience of doing so. The Article then suggests lessons and approaches that other schools may wish to take in converting their own legal writing faculty to tenure-track positions.

Alexandre Claude François Houtteville (Abbé Houtteville): i miracoli sono fatti che attestano la verità del cristianesimo
Creators: name: Tugnoli, Claudio
Publisher: name: Rosmini Studies
Year: 2023

description: Against Spinoza, who claims to demonstrate the impossibility of miracles strictly understood, Abbé Houtteville (author of La religion chrétienne prouvée par les faits) maintains that it is, instead, possible to adduce an invincible proof, which demonstrates the possibility of miracles. The contrast between the abbot and Spinoza pivots on the very concept of creation. Abbé Houtteville specifies that, in his opinion, the invariability of the universal laws consists only in the fact that they always determine the same effects through the same order of causes. The abbot denies that their invariability excludes any suspension of the laws themselves. But let's admit, writes Houtteville, that Spinoza's claim is true, and that it is therefore impossible for the laws of the universe to be interrupted or broken. Miracles could then be conceived as events connected to the action of general laws completely unknown to any limited spirit, both in themselves, both in terms of their number, and with regard to the infinite diversity of their mutual combinations. Miracles are indubitable facts, which alone can represent valid arguments that demonstrate the truth of the Christian religion, and make philosophical reasoning appear to be inconsistent sophisms.

description: The destruction of Fermi liquid behavior when a gapless Fermi surface is coupled to a fluctuating gapless boson field is studied theoretically. This problem arises in a number of different contexts in quantum many body physics. Examples include fermions coupled to a fluctuating transverse gauge field pertinent to quantum spin liquid Mott insulators, and quantum critical metals near a Pomeranchuk transition. We develop a new controlled theoretical approach to determining the low energy physics. Our approach relies on combining an expansion in the inverse number (N) of fermion species with a further expansion in the parameter ε= z_b -2 where z_b is the dynamical critical exponent of the boson field. We show how this limit allows a systematic calculation of the universal low energy physics of these problems. The method is illustrated by studying spinon fermi surface spin liquids, and a quantum critical metal at a second order electronic nematic phase transition. We calculate the low energy single particle spectra, and various interesting two particle correlation functions. In some cases deviations from the popular Random Phase Approximation results are found. Some of the same universal singularities are also calculated to leading non-vanishing order using a perturbative renormalization group calculation at small N extending previous results of Nayak and Wilczek. Implications for quantum spin liquids, and for Pomeranchuk transitions are discussed. For quantum critical metals at a nematic transition we show that the tunneling density of states has a power law suppression at low energies.

So here goes: I’m Susan Rozelle, and I have begun to note all the ways in which United States law schools’ institutional culture presumes the Ideal Worker: white, male, middle-class, middle-aged, and married to a woman who manages his home and his family life for him. We blindly continue to follow a variety of existing structural systems that both create and reinforce challenges for the many members of our community who fail to meet this embedded stereotype.

La «diceria che la religione offenderebbe la totalità dei giudizi della scienza naturale»: «senso dell’infinito» e miracolo in Schleiermacher
Creators: name: Brino, Omar

description: The article proposes an analysis of Schleiermach's discussion of the question of miracles, a discussion which lasted for more than thirty years - from the first edition of On Religion: Speeches to Its Cultured Despisers in 1799 to the last edition of the Glaubenslehre in 1830/31. This discussion places itself on the one hand at the conclusion of the long process of hermeneutic accommodation of religious contents with respect to post-Copernican science and, on the other hand, at the beginning of a further season of religionistic research: the problem of the miracle either as accommodation, or as a contrast between science and religion is, in fact, transcended towards a properly religious understanding of it.

description: Clumps of material orbiting a black hole may be disturbed, somewhat like comets in the Kuiper belt, to relatively small periastron orbits. Each periastron passage changes the orbital parameters in such a way that the orbit becomes more and more eccentric and the angular momentum approaches the critical value for tidal capture. When this value is reached, the body is suddenly caught by the relativistic potential to the last periastron (occurring at two Schwarzschild radii for a non rotating black hole). In this process the transfer of orbital into internal energy heats the body before it makes a few more turns toward the horizon of the black hole. Because of strong relativistic effects this last bright message from the object is seen as a quasi-periodic flare. Assuming that a black hole may be fed by a large number of such small debris we calculate light curves expected from such events. We investigate the resemblance of the Fourier spectra of such light curves with those of observed QPOs.

Publisher: name: Midwestern University
Year: 2021
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Welcome to DENTG 1734 Dental Ethics III. This is a one credit hour, evidence-based and clinically oriented weekly seminar. This is a continuation of the dental ethic curriculum in the clinical art & science of dental care delivery. Students will continue to establish a broader understanding of dental ethics to aid them in the delivery of dentistry to the public. This course will consist of lectures, assigned readings, videos and discussion of clinical scenarios. This will enhance student understanding of what clinicians need to do in dental care delivery, and why as clinicians they should be doing it. The course will give them information to help deal with the ethical dilemmas the student may and will face in a clinical setting.
"I still have that athlete soul" : storying identity and pain in retired athletes
Creators: name: Welch, Kassandra
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Sport culture narratives teach athletes that their identities should center around athletic performance and physical superiority, with pain as an accepted part of sport-related success. A strong athletic identity has been linked with greater amounts of pain related distress. It is not surprising then that athletes’ learned relationship with pain may have long-term consequences for their identities and overall well-being through the transition out of sport and beyond. While identities in active and retired athletes have been extensively studied, less is known about retired athletes who experience persistent pain post-sporting career. The purpose of this study was to explore how persistent pain shaped and constrained how retired athletes negotiated their post-athletic career identities, and to illuminate how retired athletes used storytelling to make sense of their experiences with persistent pain. Adopting a narrative constructionist lens, I conducted two life story interviews with eight retired athletes (16 interviews) who had played at an elite level and who were currently experiencing persistent pain (pain lasting for greater than three months). Using dialogical narrative analysis, three themes were developed. Firstly, Developing an Intuitive Connection with the Body: participants described how pain taught them to listen to their body in retirement, with this dialogue enabling them to attend to their body’s needs, and to manage their ongoing pain. Secondly, Pain Enabling Empathy and Social Connection: participants used stories to depict how their pain experiences facilitated empathy and connection with others during retirement, which was juxtaposed to the isolation they felt as athletes when in pain. Thirdly, Disaffiliation or Connection Through Storytelling: participants drew on different narrative identity types (performance and relational narratives) based on their social relationships to story their experiences of pain. Some sought disaffiliation from others by recounting stories of athletic dominance, while others sought connection and belonging by relaying stories of teamwork and sport comradery. The findings expand our theoretical understanding of how stories and storytelling are used to make sense of athletes' post-sporting career lives. Application of these findings can better equip coaches, mental performance consultants, and sport organizations to tailor their support for athletes through the transition to retirement.

A Better Tenure Battle: Fighting Bias in Teaching Evaluations
Creators: name: Deo, Meera E.
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Gender and Law

description: As legal education undergoes significant changes with regard to both student enrollment and faculty hiring, the fight to keep law faculty tenure is at the forefront. But the focus on tenure should be about the standards themselves. A better approach would be to change tenure requirements to create a more just and inclusive set of standards and criteria for evaluation. This Article draws from the first systematic, comprehensive, mixed-method empirical law faculty diversity study to investigate how challenges in the classroom and bias in teaching evaluations affect female law faculty of color. The in-depth interviews of female law faculty of color are systematically analyzed using Atlas.ti software, finding that students directly challenge particular faculty in class, sometimes through verbal and even physical abuse, and write insensitive and irrelevant race- and gender-based comments on anonymous teaching evaluations. These encounters often have negative effects on the professional trajectory of women of color law professors, most notably when these individuals seek promotion and tenure. Instead of supporting these discriminatory barriers to advancement, legal institutions should do away with student evaluations altogether, modify them, or supplement them with more rigorous and less discriminatory forms of evaluation. This is the way to fight bias in teaching evaluations.

description: The paper discusses the different meanings of the notion of ‘transcendence’ in Piero Martinetti's main metaphysical works, focusing on the chief distinction between epistemological and ontological transcendence. In particular, the epistemological status of the ontological transcendence as a necessary prerequisite of thought is explored. Finally, the article analyzes Martinetti’s interpretation of the traditional proofs of the existence of God, assumed as expressions of this necessary prequisite - thus showing the influence that John Caird’s An Introduction to the Philosophy of Religion had on Martinetti.

Undue Delegation: Private Delegation and Other Strategies to Challenge Admitting-Privileges Laws
Creators: name: Ma, Jacqueline Y.
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Gender and Law
Year: 2015

description: In November 2015, the Supreme Court granted certiorari to Whole Woman’s Health v. Cole,1 the first reproductive rights case to reach the court since Gonzales v. Carhart2eight years before. In the intervening time, states have passed an astonishing number of laws and regulations that encroach on women’s access to abortion. Many such laws ostensibly aim to protect the woman and her fetus. Yet these same laws do so by imposing medically unnecessary and onerous procedural requirements on women,3which can erect massive barriers to abortion access for individuals. Other state laws aim to regulate not the activities of women, but those of abortion providers, who are not a protected class. The reproductive rights movement terms these laws Targeted Regulations of Abortion Providers, or TRAP laws. 4 State legislatures’ passage of TRAP laws accelerated after the Supreme Court’s decision in Carhart, which was taken to signal judicial willingness to uphold state laws that aim to protect an unborn fetus at the expense of reducing a woman’s ability to choose.5 This Note focuses on admitting-privileges laws, a type of TRAP law that requires physicians who provide abortions to obtain staff privileges at a hospital within a certain distance from their clinics. Without these required privileges, physicians performing abortions risk civil and criminal penalties. These laws are especially concerning because they give area hospitals an effective veto over a clinic’s operations, effectively outsourcing the power to deny licenses to private entities. Admitting-privileges decisions are often discretionary for hospital administrators; a hospital’s denial of admitting privileges also lacks state oversight or external appeals. Admitting-privileges laws are being ratified throughout many states, but have proven resistant to traditional substantive due process challenges. In addition to traditional “undue burden” analysis, a multipronged approach to reproductive rights litigation and advocacy is necessary. Part I of this Note sets forth a brief history of the right to choose an abortion and the current federal legal framework. Then, it details recent state legislative and ballot initiatives aimed at regulating abortion providers. Part II explains the complications of using the “undue burden” doctrine in constitutional challenges to state action, as illuminated by recent cases litigating admitting-privileges laws. It further introduces private-delegation challenges as an alternative method to examine the constitutionality of these laws. Part III looks at the history of private-delegation challenges with respect to admitting-privileges laws and touches on other possible avenues to challenge admitting-privileges regulations.
