Black Transcends Blue Symposium
No full textThis symposium will explore some of the ways in which racial hierarchies and subordination are present in American policing. Since the early 1970s, some law enforcement scholars, politicians and reformists have presupposed that increasing the number of Black officers on the force could be an important tool to improving relations between police departments and communities of color. The national conversation around the myriad of continued problems in policing during the Racial Reckoning of 2020 revealed continued instances of racial discrimination endured by Black police officers inside and outside of their departments. While affinity law enforcement associations began in an effort to support and empower officers from underrepresented racial groups, those groups often lack collective bargaining rights or mechanisms by which to support the interests of their members.
Symposium presenters will explore the historical role of racism in American policing, Indian policing, disparate officer discipline outcomes, the intersection of use of force and race, the impact of arbitration on police reform, how gender impacts the rate of reported crimes, potential solutions for a transformational path forward, and other related topics
Mythical Unicorns and How to Find Them: The Disclosure Revolution
Get PDFOur federal and state securities laws are centered around two vital requirements for economic growth: capital formation and investor protection. Section 12(g) sits in the middle of these two concepts by attempting to ensure the latter without jeopardizing the former. However, since the passage of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (“JOBS”) Act in 2012, exempt capital formation in the unregulated private market has increased dramatically. Companies raise nearly limitless capital from a wide range of sources while remaining outside of the public reporting regime. The overall shift has led to worse corporate governance outcomes, a decline in IPO volume and quality, and has major implications for employees in both their investing and employment decisions. Accompanying these changes is the exposure of an increasing amount of the public’s capital to riskier investments in a sphere where information is unavailable in the best of times and deliberately hidden in the worst. Based on a hand selected data set compiled from public filings, we have found that these companies have an increasing number of shareholders prior to their IPOs and that a number of these companies have used investment structures to artificially reduce this number to take advantage of a JOBS Act-created loophole.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) indicated its intention to narrow the disclosure gap between publicly-listed and privately-held companies. It recently embarked upon a formative rulemaking process that would require more disclosures from large private companies that are valued at over $1 billion – “unicorns.” The SEC’s initiative is likely to meet with a mixed reaction from the investor community. Despite this latent opposition, regulatory action in this area is gaining momentum worldwide. This Article gives recommendations on reforms to Section 12(g) in order to bring more companies into the public reporting sphere without jeopardizing the capital formation process
