Random Gripes of a Law Professor

Let use begin at the beginning-the slave markets. Everyone, both buyers and sellers, agree that it\u27s an exhausting, demeaning,and inefficient way to hire professors. But the art form remains remarkably constant, since no better means of mass matchmaking has yet been devised. Possibly we should adopt the British system, requiring all schools to advertise their openings in the Times classified section. More likely, we will start computerizing to remove the last vestiges of humanity from the system. But until the system is basically changed, why not try to smooth out some rough spots

Federal Taxation and Non-Profit Organizations

The Revenue Act of 1969 is one of the greatest overall changes in the revenue laws since the introduction of the federal income tax . Perhaps the most extensive changes were made in the area of tax-exempt organizations. Only some of these changes were within of the topic of this presentation, and some of the other changes in the charitable area merit great discussion-for example charitable remainder trusts.

Initial Impressions of the Treasury Report on Foundations

Very recently in the United States Treasury Department submitted its study of private foundations to Congress. This is the most recent development in an attempt to delineate the proper role of foundations and their donors in our society, and more particularly their proper tax treatment. Although it is much too soon to predict the effect of the Treasury Report, since Congress itself asked for the study, it is quite likely that some more restrictive legislation will result
