EXPERT ALERTS:

New Smoking Gun: Why Dr. Dao's Payout May Have Just Gotten Bigger
James Goodnow
Legal Commentator
Fennemore Craig, Phoenix
"Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse for United Airlines and the City of Chicago in the Dr. Dao case, it just did. How? Because evidence just surfaced that, before cellphone videos of the event became the subject of worldwide attention, the aviation police involved in the incident may have tried to cover it up. Legally, this is a smoking gun. The mistruths contained in the report will certainly inflame a jury. Prior to this statement being released, there was a possibility that a jury might have some sympathy for the innocent airport officers dropped into a situation where they didn't fully appreciate what was happening. But now, the officers' credibility seems to be blown."

Trump's Tax Plan
Rebecca Kysar
Professor of Law
Brooklyn Law School
Kysar is available for comment on Trump's tax plan. Here is an excerpt from a January op-ed she wrote for Slate: " It is not realistic to expect the tax code to be set in stone. But the pillars of tax reform should be stable enough to form the basis of long-term investment and growth. Radical, partisan tax reform will prove short-lived and ineffective. Reform that gives the lion's share of its benefits to the wealthy and adds trillions to the debt runs the risk of exacerbating inequality within and between generations, perhaps alienating Trump voters who elevated him to the White House based on his populist rhetoric."
Kysar teaches and researches in the areas of federal income tax, international tax, and the federal budget and tax legislative processes. Her recent scholarship examines tax treaties, as well as the tax legislative process. Her articles have appeared in the Cornell Law Review, the Iowa Law Review, the Notre Dame Law Review, the University of Pennsylvania Law Review, the Washington University Law Review, and the Yale Journal of International Law, among others.

Law Enforcement Agencies Need More Dedicated Funding
Dr. Walter E. Stroupe
Chair & Graduate Coordinator, Criminal Justice Department
West Virginia State University
"Lost in our national conversation over policing is that America's social services are coming under an enormous amount of stress. We are seeing increased burnout and retirements across the spectrum, from child protective service workers and teachers to emergency responders, and it has been up to law enforcement to pick up the slack without increased budgets and staff. These new roles in policing are leading to departments stretched thin, funding shortages, and an overall inability to improve services. What law enforcement agencies across the country need now are more dedicated funds so that they can effectively adjust to new responsibilities, recruit better officers, and implement long-term strategies for their communities."
Dr. Stroupe is a professor criminal justice with more than 20 years of law enforcement experience, including as a state field trooper, first lieutenant, and retiring as the assistant director of Training at the West Virginia State Police Academy. He is currently the director of graduate studies for the Criminal Justice Administration at West Virginia State University and is chair of the university's Criminal Justice Department. Dr. Stroupe has been involved in developing and instructing criminal justice curriculum, including classes in race and gendered issues, domestic terrorism, sex crimes, and community-oriented policing. Dr. Stroupe is highly knowledgeable of the current challenges and controversies surrounding law enforcement departments and is passionate about issues related to officer shortage, inadequate agency budgets, and public policy impacting state and local police departments. He is the first officer in the history of the West Virginia State Police to receive an academic doctorate degree while serving as an active member.

Teaching Children With Disabilities to Write
Janet Sturm
Speech-Language Pathology Professor
Central Michigan University
Sturm can discuss the challenges and supports needed to help children who have intellectual, physical and sensory disabilities learn to write: "For some students, it's just learning to touch a pencil to a page and knowing that authors leave marks on a page. Other students are writing their words in sentences. For students with severe limitations, it's about us attempting to read their cues and find out what they are communicating and to continue to expose them to things to see if we can get some type of intentional response."
Based in Mount Pleasant, Mich., Sturm is the creator of the First Author Writing Curriculum and Software.

Personalized Learning: The Future of Education
Dr. Mickey Blackwell
Assistant Professor and Graduate Program Coordinator, Department of Education
West Virginia State University
"Personalized learning is where we are all headed. Soon, every child will have their own plans, tailored tests, and teachers will know in real-time how that student is performing. It will be up to teachers, with the help of their administrators, to craft new materials, exercises, and tasks that can bring out the best in their students. Plus, with the right support, states and districts can that embrace this learning revolution and will be better equipped to understand the strengths and weaknesses of their students and what teachers need to be successful in the classroom. This is an immense challenge for the education system, but it will pay endless dividends if fully supported by teachers, policymakers, and parents."
Dr. Blackwell is an assistant professor of education with nearly 30 years of experience in teaching and school administration, including being a superintendent and principal at multiple schools. Currently the executive director for the West Virginia Association for Elementary and Middle School Principals, Dr. Blackwell can speak to developing district-based curriculum goals and related staff development and staff trainings, as well as serving as the primary spokesperson to local and statewide media. Dr. Blackwell is highly involved on the cutting edge of personalized education initiatives, including advancements in the use of technology and student data in the classroom, as well as public policy impacting state public school educators and school administrators. In addition, Dr. Blackwell is passionate about issues relating to shortages in teacher and school administrator staffing, and speaks regularly about the need for fair and appropriate overall school assessments. Dr. Blackwell coordinates the graduate program in Leadership Studies for the Education Department at West Virginia State University.

  • HOW THE AP FIGHTS FAKE NEWS. Information is everywhere. How is the average news consumer supposed to separate fact from fiction? That's where the Associated Press steps in. The AP has been a paragon of neutrality and fact-based content for 171 years, but only recently has it gotten attention specifically for the work it is doing to rid the world of misinformation, one piece of news at a time. What started as a fact-checking mission to validate information presented by newsmakers has migrated into an organization-wide effort to verify reported or shared news stories that appear to have bad information: http://prn.to/2pldN8B  
  • BEHIND THE HEADLINES, WITH TIM RACE. Over the past 27 years, Tim Race became a veteran at the New York Times, serving in a variety of roles, including energy, autos and transportation editor. A few months ago, Race made the jump from journalism to a career in PR. This week, we sat down with Race to discuss his transition to PR, using the full array of purchased, earned, sponsored and owned media platforms to help clients tell stories, and building your personal brand to work your way up: http://cisn.co/2pl6dee
  • BLOG PROFILES: LANGUAGE BLOGS. Each week, PR Newswire's Audience Relations team selects an industry/subject and looks at a handful of sites that do a good job with promoting and contributing to the topic. This week, the team looks at language blogs: http://bit.ly/2pyYMRE
