Saving Rutgers Camden
No full textIn January 2012, Chris Christie, Governor of New Jersey, announced that the Camden campus of Rutgers, the State University, was to be severed from Rutgers and taken over by Rowan University. Every major political force in the state, Democratic and Republican, elected and behind the scenes, lined up in support of the plan. Nevertheless, Rutgers-Camden faculty, students, administrators, alumni, and trustees, and their allies, vigorously fought the plan, convinced that it made no sense and would be devastating to the campus and higher education in the State more generally. The campaign opposing the merger with Rowan was popular and political, but it ultimately depended on powerful legal arguments grounded in Rutgers’ distinct and complex history. By the end of June, the merger idea had been defeated. As one assistant professor put it, “The bad guys got outmaneuvered by a bunch of nerds.”
This article is a scholarly effort by three faculty participants to make sense of the struggle to save Rutgers-Camden and put it in theoretical context. The article narrates the story of the fight over the proposed merger and carefully analyzes the legal constraints on the plan. It also links the story to important broader questions about legal pluralism, the public/private divide, the relationship between state universities and state governments, and competing visions of the modern university faculty. Through this combination of case study, legal argument, and conceptual inquiry, the article provides a cautionary but hopeful tale about the importance of academic communities defending sound public policy and their own historical rights to self determination against the machinations that can infect our political culture and legislative process.Please direct any questions about this deposit to Charlotte Schneider ([email protected])

The effects of listening to music on positive affect and negative affect, after acute stress exposure.
No full textA research report submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of f Masters of Arts in the field of Organizational Psychology to the Faculty of Commerce, Law and Management, School of Accountancy, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, 2024In today’s world, the negative effects from daily acute stressors have become more and more of a concern impacting the general health and well-being of individuals across the world. The aim of the current study was to see whether listening to music had an effect on positive affect and negative affect, after acute stress exposure. Previous literature has shown that there is a mixture of findings within the research, with some research studies finding evidence suggesting listening to music may help with stress recovery; however, other research studies have found evidence suggesting it may be too soon to conclude that listening to music helps with stress recovery due to the non-significant results. A quantitative longitudinal experiment with elements of between and within groups design was conducted to investigate whether listening to music would increase positive affect and decrease negative affect, following acute stress exposure. Participants underwent a stress induction task and were randomly assigned to one of the three listening conditions (self-selected music group, researcher-selected music group, and an ambient sound group). Participants self-reported positive affect and negative affect levels were recorded after both the stressor task (time 1) and the listening condition (time 2). Two mixed model ANOVAs were run to see whether listening to music increased participants positive affect and decreased their negative affect, after acute stress exposure. The results from the mixed-model ANOVAs were non significant indicating insufficient evidence to support this hypothesis. Further research on this important topic is required in order to help clarify the current conflicting results found in the literature.GM202

Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

The Transmission Mechanism of Monetary Policy in Colombia Major Changes and Current Features
No full textThe Colombian economy experienced several shocks in the past ten years. The permanent fall of inflation, the adoption of inflation targeting (IT) and a financial crisis altered the transmission mechanism of monetary policy. Low inflation and IT reduced inflation persistence and contributed to anchor inflation expectations. The evidence is less conclusive with respect to the changes of the responsiveness of inflation to domestic conditions (output or marginal cost gaps). Increased competition may have encouraged a higher degree of price flexibility, but a more stable inflation environment may have raised the sensitivity of aggregate supply to inflation surprises. The short-run money-inflation relationship was broken in the presence of low inflation, exogenous shocks to the demand for money and a policy regime that stabilized short-run interest rates. The sensitivity of aggregate demand to the interest rate varied with the indebtedness of private agents and the credit channel was severed after the financial crisis. The IT regime implied a stabilization of short-run interest rates, making the monetary policy stance and objectives clearer to the public. However, interest rate pass-through appears to be incomplete and seems to respond to the varying importance of the credit channel and the general state of the economy.Monetary Transmission Mechanisms, Inflation Targeting, Colombian Economy.
