Unmasking a New Dialect of Deception: Leveraging the Federal Trade Commission to Combat Deceptive and Exploitative Corporate Policies
No full textCorporate social responsibility initiatives have transformed fair labor policies into powerful marketing tools, but the gap between the public promise to embrace ethical labor practices and actual corporate compliance with such practices has widened. This has the effect of not only impeding the average consumer’s purchasing decision, but perpetuating—if not catalyzing—labor exploitation across the world. The existence of this paradigm thus necessitates additional, heightened intervention by none other than Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
The FTC’s three-pronged test for deception—previously created to combat other forms of deceptive practices—provides an accountability framework for deceptive marketing claims that utilize unfollowed, self-adopted corporate fair labor policies. Backed by—and born out of—the Federal Trade Commission Act, further insulated by legal precedent, the FTC is well-equipped to address this mode of corporate deception. Stated differently, by creating a comprehensive regulatory framework, the FTC can rely on its historical doctrines to ensure corporations comply with their advertised labor policies.
By drawing wisdom from legal scholars, United States jurisprudence and legislation, current events, and human rights organizations, this Note strongly recommends that—similar to combating other deceptive marketing strategies—the FTC must clear a path for regulatory oversight against a new dialect of deception: the hollow-but-publicly-embraced promise to utilize fair labor practices. If done correctly, the FTC would not only lend a strong hand in the fight against domestic and international labor exploitation, but continue to honor the mantra that brought about its inception: protecting consumer rights, promoting corporate transparency, and deterring corporate deception

Social Support and Career Adaptability: A Meta-Analysis
No full textA univariate meta-analysis using a random effects model was conducted to examine the relationship between career adaptability and social support. A total of 73 studies comprising 48,624 participants were analyzed. There were statistically significant relationships (p \u3c 0.05) between social support and career adaptability, and the four subscales of the CAAS (Savickas and Porfeli, 2012). It was also found that sub-types of perceived social support (i.e., family, friend/peer, significant other, teacher/school, co-worker, supervisory, and organizational) were statistically significantly related to career adaptability. There were no statistically significant moderators. A discussion of the findings and practical implications are provided
Lee Fisher Reflects on His Time at Cleveland State University
No full textThis a bittersweet moment for me because this is my last column as Dean of Cleveland State University College of Law. I will be stepping down on June 30 to become the 10th president of Baldwin Wallace University. While I’m very excited about this rare opportunity to lead such an iconic university, I will always cherish my nine years serving CSU Law, an equally iconic law school.
Most fundamentally, we have been guided by our mission: Learn Law. Live Justice. What does that mean? To me, it means that law is the means; justice is the end. I’ll remain committed to our law school’s mission and success for the rest of my life
