Maintaining Intimacy in Long-Term Marriages During Graduate School
Get PDFThis qualitative study explored the process of maintaining intimacy among graduate counseling students in long-term marriages. Recognizing that stressors of graduate school can challenge marital relationships, the study used grounded theory methodology to analyze the experiences of nine participants enrolled in Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP)-accredited counseling programs. The emergent themes include choice and intention, connection and communication, acceptance of growth and change, identifying and supporting needs, and sharing dreams and interests. These themes collectively form the maintaining marital intimacy theory, which emphasizes that intimacy in marriage evolves and requires intentional effort, especially with graduate study academic and personal demands. Findings highlight the complex and dynamic nature of intimacy, providing insights for counselors, supervisors, and counselor educators on fostering supportive environments for students. Implications suggest the importance of addressing unique relationship challenges married graduate students face to promote their overall well-being and academic success

Intentional Innovation: Strategies to Increase Engagement for a Hybrid Faculty Group
Get PDFThe proliferation of online education has increased the need to examine how to foster an ongoing culture of community, support, and engagement for faculty, specifically remote faculty. This article describes a single case study example of how one Midwestern counselor education program leveraged online platforms and intentional community building strategies to successfully integrate remote core faculty into all aspects of departmental processes. This article describes specific strategies and provides recommendations for other remote programs to consider
Should Private Universities Tie Themselves to the First Amendment?
No full textPrivate colleges and universities are generally free to depart from First Amendment standards regarding their own regulation of speech on campus and among campus community members. They may adopt more restrictive speech regimes that would sharply separate them from their public university counterparts which are bound by First Amendment requirements. In the modern era, private universities have nonetheless generally chosen to voluntarily embrace something like First Amendment principles to guide their own internal governance. Some would prefer that they shed those commitments and adopt some alternative speech regime. In this Article, I argue that private universities generally should adopt free expression policies that mirror the First Amendment, indicate the scope and limits of that approach, identify the core principles that such a commitment would require, and consider the rationale for a First Amendment regime and its primary alternatives.

Interpreting the Law and Complying with It
No full textIn this Article, I am going to focus on a set of issues that follow from the fact that laws are created by human beings and interpreted by human beings. It is unlike morality in these respects. For morality presumably applies to us humans, whether we accept what it requires or correctly assess what it requires. But it is we who decide what laws, good or bad, should govern us, and whose interpretations of those laws, correct or incorrect, should constitute our governing laws. And if the uncertainty of what morality requires creates the necessity for laws, and if laws, to fulfill this moral need, must be simpler and thus easier for us humans to grasp than what morality dictates, then law and morality will inevitably conflict. And that means that conflicts between what the law requires and what each of us believes morality requires will be inevitable—even in the best legal systems we humans, with our limitations, can construct.
In this Article, I will focus both on interpretation of the law and on law’s paradoxical moral status as something morally required but inevitably at least partially morally incorrect. I turn first to legal interpretation.

The Implications of \u3ci\u3ePulsifer v. United States\u3c/i\u3e for the Interpretation of Criminal Statutes
No full textAll signs in Pulsifer point to considerable discretion for courts, all while operating within the confines of statutory text. For one, the opinion indicates that courts can override the text of a statute if the context so demands. The Court’s rejection of lenity also confirms this trend in two ways. It highlights the Court’s inconsistent approach when it comes to requiring the legislature to speak clearly. It also confirms that the threshold of ambiguity required to trigger lenity continues to be a high one, thus allowing judges to selectively apply the canon, even when a split in the Court demonstrates that the meaning of a given statutory provision is far from clear
25 years of the Women, Peace and Security agenda and the reality of women-led peacebuilding
No full textThis policy brief is drawn from the 2025 annual Women Waging Peace report, which serves as a guide for policymakers and funders and draws directly from the recommendations and priorities of women peacebuilders around the world. These findings have been provided by peacebuilders across countries, conflict contexts, types of peacebuilding work, and across age, sexual orientation, education level, disability and migration status. This report leveraged the perspectives and experiences of 106 women peacebuilders from 43 countries to identify peacebuilding priorities for 2025, reflect on the challenges and achievements of 2024, and provide the following recommendations for how international partners can better support women peacebuilders engaged in preventing and mitigating election violence.
2025 marks the 25th anniversary of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 and the creation of the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda. The Women Waging Peace network, which was created in 1999, has supported women peacebuilders around the world as they work to create more peaceful and equitable societies over the same time. The members of the network are implementing Women, Peace and Security priorities in their communities, advocating for gender equality and gender-responsive solutions to violence. This report shows the reality of their work: even after 25 years of the WPS agenda, they feel frustrated with formal WPS policies and programming, they consistently face threats to their safety and they believe that ensuring gender equality and preventing gender-based violence are fundamental to building peace.https://digital.sandiego.edu/ipj-research/1119/thumbnail.jp

Les décideurs politiques et les bailleurs de fonds utilisent le rapport annuel de Women Waging Peace comme guide en s’inspirant directement des recommandations et des priorités des femmes qui œuvrent pour la paix dans le monde entier. Ces résultats proviennent de femmes engagées pour la paix issues de divers pays et contextes de conflit, exerçant différents types de travail de consolidation de la paix, et représentant une diversité d’âges, d’orientations sexuelles, de niveaux d’éducation, de situations de handicap et de statuts migratoires. Fondé sur les perspectives et expériences de 106 femmes issues de 43 pays, ce rapport identifie les priorités de la consolidation de la paix pour 2025, revient sur les défis et les réalisations de 2024, et propose les recommandations suivantes pour aider les partenaires internationaux à mieux soutenir les artisanes de la paix mobilisées contre la violence électorale.https://digital.sandiego.edu/ipj-research/1122/thumbnail.jp
The Supreme Court’s Mysterious 1920s Due Process Education Trilogy
Get PDFThe Education Trilogy cases were important milestones in American constitutional history. They protected private schools, religious and otherwise, from the threat of closure in many states. This preserved educational freedom for parents who preferred private education for their children. As a constitutional matter, the Trilogy became the foundation of a due process jurisprudence that moved beyond liberty of contract, property rights, and police power considerations to a broader protection of fundamental rights.
This Article has described external forces that may have motivated this shift—revulsion at the Ku Klux Klan, backlash against Progressive statism, and the Justices’ need to cultivate allies among ethnic and religious minority populations. This Article also reviews the idiosyncratic biographical factors that may have led Justice Brandeis to join the majority in Meyer. Brandeis’ vote with the majority helped prevent the education cases from becoming another battle in the war between the more Progressive and more conservative Justices. This is turn allowed future liberal Justices to rely on Meyer and Pierce in protecting fundamental rights under the Fourteenth Amendment’s Due Process Clause while still, like Brandeis, expressing contempt for Lochner.
None of this discussion has relied on high constitutional theory. But while high constitutional theory surely plays a role in Supreme Court decision-making, the Justices are human, and like everyone else feel the pull of both historical circumstances and personal experiences
