Input: Consider Input: Since the De Queen Medical Center Inc. closed, residents have had to travel at least 30 miles (50 kilometers) for medical care at hospitals in Howard and Little River counties or McCurtain County in Oklahoma. Dr. Steve Cole, the county's Rural Development Authority chairman, said Thursday that building a hospital would ensure the community has access to health care, the Texarkana Gazette reported. "We want a hospital to be run by people who care," said Cole. "We want to make sure people receive proper health care." De Queen Mayor Jeff Brown said that he backs the proposed sale tax increase. It remains uncertain how much the sales tax would need to be hiked or when it would be put on the ballot, according to the county's officials. An online sales tax handbook guide shows that the current sales tax rate in De Queen, Arkansas, is 9.625%, with Sevier County receiving slightly more than 2%. The De Queen Medical Center was recently put into receivership to prevent owners Jorge Perez and Ricardo Perez from spending or transferring the facility's assets. Sevier County Circuit Judge Tom Cooper chose director of nursing Rachel Matheson as the medical center's receiver. "DMCI is insolvent and unable to pay its debts as they become due. Employees of DMCI have either been laid off or have quit their employment because they have not been paid. Further, health care professionals essential to the operation of DMCI and to continued licensure of the hospital have discontinued providing medical services," according to an order that Cooper signed last month. Cole said he admires the hospital's 34 employees who worked without being compensated prior to the facility closing. "They were the 34 heroes. Few people would do what they did and not get paid," said Cole. ___ Information from: Texarkana Gazette, http://www.texarkanagazette.com

Output: Sevier County may consider sales tax hike to build hospital.

Input: Consider Input: Nguyen's suicide has sparked a contentious legal battle headed to Massachusetts' highest court over whether schools can be held responsible when students take their own lives. The case is being closely watched by colleges and universities, who say a decision against the Massachusetts Institute of Technology would place an unreasonable burden on untrained employees to stop suicides. "It would be groundbreaking," said Gary Pavela, a consultant on law and policy issues in higher education and author of a book about legal questions surrounding student suicides. "It would cause alarm in higher education," he said. The student's family says his death was preventable and that the school had a legal duty to use reasonable care to protect him from harm. Nguyen's professors and other MIT officials knew he was a suicide risk, but failed to get him the help he needed, an attorney for Nguyen's family argues. Months before Nguyen's death, a professor encouraged his colleagues to pass him or they might have "blood on their hands." Moments before Nguyen jumped, the professor "read him the riot act" over an email Nguyen sent to another MIT official that they deemed inappropriate, court records say. "Academic freedom is not a license to needlessly and recklessly endanger students known to be at risk of death with impunity; and this court should not allow it to become one at institutions that routinely admit students many with mental health issues as young as their mid-teens," attorney Jeffrey Beeler wrote in court documents. Beeler declined to comment and said Nguyen's family didn't want to speak to the media. MIT says the school wasn't aware of the severity of his condition and he was treated by outside professionals and refused on-campus resources. None of the nine professionals who treated Nguyen while he was at MIT believed he was an imminent risk of killing himself, the school says. "Mr. Nguyen's suicide was a tragedy. That does not warrant a legal conclusion that MIT or any individual associated with MIT had a legal duty to prevent it," attorneys for the school, two professors and one dean named in the lawsuit say in court documents. MIT, which refused to answer questions about the case, said in a statement it "remains committed to the well-being of its students, offering a robust network of support resources, including comprehensive mental health services." Nguyen's family attorney disputes the idea that the man didn't want help and has accused MIT of blaming the victim. No state supreme court has ever found that colleges and universities have a legal duty to prevent student suicides, MIT's attorneys say. Courts have generally been reluctant to do so because, among other things, suicide is an impulsive act that's difficult to predict, Pavela said. A Massachusetts trial court judge ruled in 2005 that an MIT housemaster and dean could be held responsible for the death of a woman who lit herself on fire in her dorm room. But Elizabeth Shin's case, which was later settled for an undisclosed amount, never reached the state's highest court. The Supreme Judicial Court will hear arguments in Nguyen's case on Tuesday after a lower court judge tossed the lawsuit last year. A group of 18 colleges and universities including Harvard University and Boston College is urging the court to reject the case, saying a decision in favor of the family could have devastating consequences. Fear of liability may cause professors and others without mental health expertise to overreact to concerns, which in turn could discourage students from coming forward with their problems, the schools say. Dr. Paul Appelbaum, a psychiatry expert at Columbia University, agrees. "To the extent that you heighten every resident assistant's sensitivity to the risk of suicidality, with the threat of liability hanging over them, they are far more likely to over predict, over intervene, see it where it's not," Appelbaum said. The Nguyen family attorney and their supporters including the Massachusetts Academy of Trial Attorneys say the schools' concerns are baseless. Beeler, in his filing, said he merely wants the court to affirm that the duty to provide reasonable care "extends to the ivory tower as it does every other civilized corner of the Commonwealth." Thomas Murphy, chair of the amicus committee of the Massachusetts Academy of Trial Attorneys, says a jury should get to decide whether MIT was negligent and caused Nguyen's suicide. "Maybe the school can convince them that they didn't cause (Nguyen's suicide) and it was going to happen anyway," he said. ___ Follow Alanna Durkin Richer at http://twitter.com/aedurkinricher.

Input: Consider Input: Lawyers for the 85-year-old fugitive director petitioned Los Angeles Superior Court to compel the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to make him a member in good standing again. In May, the academy made the rare move of expelling Polanski and Bill Cosby, months after ending the membership of disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein. Polanski appealed the decision, and in January the academy rejected his appeal. Friday's five-page filing states that by not giving Polanski sufficient notice of his expulsion, and not giving he or his lawyer to argue his case in person during the appeal, the academy "failed to comply with its own rules, policies and regulations." The academy responded with a brief statement saying, "The procedures taken to expel Mr. Polanski were fair and reasonable. The Academy stands behind its decision as appropriate." The filing also alleges that the expulsion violated a California law that requires corporations to give a fair hearing before removing a member, calling it a "prejudicial abuse of discretion." Polanski's attorney Harland Braun said at the time that Polanski was "blindsided" by his removal, and learned of it through media reports. The filing says that the academy's decision is final and the director has no recourse for reconsideration outside of the courts. Polanski, who won a best director Oscar for "The Pianist" in 2003, remains a fugitive after pleading guilty to unlawful sex with a minor in 1977 and fleeing the United States the following year. He has been living in Europe since. He had been an academy member for nearly 50 years at the time of his expulsion, and his films had been nominated for 28 Oscars. But he had long been one of the organization's more divisive members. At the 2003 ceremony, Polanski's win his first received a standing ovation. He was not in attendance. He'd previously been nominated for writing his adaptation of "Rosemary's Baby," and directing "Chinatown" and "Tess." Polanski's ouster from the group means he can no longer vote for nominees and winners, but he and his films can still win Oscars. After expelling Weinstein, the academy implemented revised standards of conduct for its over 8,400 members. The standards said the organization is no place for "people who abuse their status, power or influence in a manner that violates standards of decency." The code allowed the academy's board to suspend or expel those who violate the code of conduct or who "compromise the integrity" of the academy. There have been no reports of Weinstein or Cosby appealing their expulsions from the academy. Before Weinstein, only one person is thought to have been expelled from the academy: Carmine Caridi, a character actor who had his membership revoked in 2004 for lending DVD screeners of films in contention for Oscars. ___ AP Film Writer Jake Coyle contributed to this report from New York. ___ Follow AP Entertainment Writer Andrew Dalton on Twitter: https://twitter.com/andyjamesdalton .
