Behooved to Remove: The Trump Administration's Effect on Immigration Judge Decision-Making
It has long been recognized by the legal community that when an immigrant seeks relief from deportation proceedings through the United States’ immigration courts, the proceedings they undertake are best seen as a game of chance depending on the Immigration Judge who is randomly assigned to their case. This thesis builds on the existing adjudication literature in this field by examining the effects that the Trump administration has produced over adjudication outcomes in comparison to the final term of the Obama administration. A variety of factors relating to the background of Immigration Judges are examined over these timeframes to examine how certain attributes have resulted in judges responding to the pressures of an administration deeply concerned with immigration outcomes. These results are then analyzed within a general judicial utility function framework, representing the first time that such a theory has been expanded to the field of Immigration Judges
Multiple Perspectives on Implementing Inter-University Computer Conferencing
The purpose of this symposium is to discuss the organization, design, implementation and preliminary evaluation of an inter-university collaborative learning experience that used computer mediated communication (CMC) to link graduate students in several universities to discuss issues related to distance education. The discussion is based on the Globaled project, a computer conference that was set up and implemented for the second time, during the Fall 1993 semester. Globaled was first implemented during the Spring of 1992. With the increasing offering of distance education as a graduate discipline in many traditional universities, Globaled, can be seen as a unique way to connect graduate students across States and countries to participate in discussions related to the field of distance education
