Fairness and the Adjudicatory Process: Balancing the Rights of Individuals Versus the Rights of Society in Matters of National Security
 
 
Airplane pilots are licensed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).  The Administrator of the FAA is statutorily authorized to modify or revoke a pilot’s license if he/she determines that “safety in air commerce or air transportation and the public interest require that action.”  Following the terrorists’ attacks on September 11, 2001, the FAA adopted new rules governing the revocation of pilots’ licenses in cases involving national security.  Under the regulations, which were promulgated pursuant to section 553 of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), the Administrator of the FAA may revoke the license of any pilot when the Administrator determines the pilot poses a threat to national security.  The revocation can then be considered by an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) assigned to the FAA.  In that proceeding, the Administrator may present the ALJ with a sealed file containing evidence that cannot be revealed openly because of national security issues.  The pilot and his/her representative will not get to see the evidence in the sealed file.  The attorney for the pilot may cross-examine witnesses i and he/she may also present evidence on behalf the client.
Pursuant to these rules, the Administrator proposes to revoke the license of Mohammed Khan, a pilot for one of the major airlines which is headquartered in the U.S.  The Administrator states that he/she has determined that Khan poses a threat to national security.  In the proceeding before the ALJ, the Administrator states that here is no evidence that can be presented openly.  The Administrator gives the ALJ the government’s evidence in a sealed file pursuant to the rules.  Khan does not get to see the evidence in the sealed file.  Khan presents testimony from himself and other witnesses that he is an upstanding, patriotic U.S. citizen who served his country honorably by flying fighter jets the First Iraq War.  Khan was honorably discharged from the Air Force and presently receives Veteran’s Benefits from an injury he sustained during a combat mission.
After hearing and reviewing the evidence, the administrative law judges (ALJ) rules in favor of the FAA.  The ALJ’s ruling states, “the evidence in the sealed file shows that Mr. Khan is a threat to national security and that, if allowed to retain his pilot’s license, he might participate in terrorists’ actions involving airplanes/jets.”  Khan feels that he has been aggrieved and the basis of the sanctions imposed against him are unsubstantiated.
Given these facts, please address the following questions:
1. Has Mr. Khan been afforded his due process and/or equal protection rights in accordance with the Constitution?
 
1.  Could an argument be made that Khan’s rights were violated by the FAA because he had been denied an opportunity to defend himself in a public trial whereby he could rebut the charges against him and provide evidence and witnesses on his behalf?
 
1.  Based on the limited information provided in this scenario, did the FAA adhere to the procedural rules stipulated by statutes and agency rules?  Did the FAA acting in an ultra vires manner?
 
1.  What if the evidence upon which the FAA relied in making its decision had been “illegally obtained” (Fourth Amendment violation of an unreasonable search and seizure or was based on hearsay evidence
 
1.  Can Kahn and his attorney file a petition under the Freedom of Information Act (FIOA) and/or the Privacy Act seeking copies of information about him that are kept in agency files?
 
1. Finally, one function of the courts in the administrative state is to thwart the “abuse of power” by administrative agencies.  However, federal courts tend to defer to administrative expertise regarding policy.  Based on your readings of judicial review of administrative action, how likely or unlikely is it that a federal court would overrule the decision of the FAA to suspend Mr. Kahn’s license (and thereby deny him his livelihood)?

ARCH1322 Architectural History and Theory

ARCH1322 Architectural History and Theory 3 Session 2, 2017
Assignment 2
In the book New Directions in Australian Architecture, published in 2001, Philip Goad outlines three
design traditions that have persisted within architecture in Australia. These he names as 1) the
tectonic, 2) levels of abstraction and 3) the figurative.1 In describing these three traditions, Goad
mentions the work of a number of recent and contemporary architects and their practices:
The tectonic
Gabriel Poole
Glenn Murcutt
Richard Leplastrier
Brit Andreson & Peter O’Gorman
Stutchbury & Pape
Troppo
Donovan Hill
Sean Godsell
John Wardle
Levels of abstraction
Alec Tzannes
Alex Popov
Durbach Block
Ivan Rijavec
Tom Kovac
Denton Corker Marshall
Engelen Moore
Kerstin Thompson
Wood Marsh
Nation Fender Katsalidis
The figurative
Edmond & Corrigan
Ashton Raggatt McDougall
Lyons
For this assignment you are required to choose one of these design traditions and select two
architects/architectural practices whose work relates to that tradition.2 Examine how the work of these
architects has been interpreted by different critics, writers and historians as contributing to the
continuance and development of that tradition, or as deviations from it. Within your study you must
consider the theoretical dimensions of the traditions and discourse and for this you will need to engage
with theoretical texts.3 Since 2001 the use of computer-aided design and digital modelling has
increased dramatically and this may have changed or modified the relationship the work has with the
tradition. For the architects listed above, use the bibliographic lists found within the ARCH1322
Moodle website.
You can consider the work of contemporary Australian architects not included in the lists above and
which can be argued is related to one of the traditions. For example, the work of FJMT (Francis-Jones
Morehen Thorp) would fit the topic of the tectonic and the work of McBride Charles Ryan a discussion
of the figurative. Please consult with the course convenor if you would like to consider the work of
additional architects, which will involve generating a list of appropriate bibliographic sources.

Assignment requirements
The student is expected to select an area of interest in his/her field of practice that he/she wishes to explore further. Using the steps of the Evidence-based Practice framework1 students will formulate a searchable, answerable question relating to the topic of interest. They will identify the best available evidence to underpin practice in the given area. The quality of the evidence will be established using a hierarchy table (s) and appraised using agreed critiquing protocols. Evidence to inform practice will be presented including a strategic plan detailing how the evidence could be integrated into practice. Barriers and facilitators to integration will be addressed. Tools to evaluate and monitor outcomes of the initiative will be discussed and strategies to disseminate identified.

Capstone Topic Choices

When responding to discussion topics, copy the information requested and respond below it. If there are multiple questions, separate each accordingly. Avoid a phrase or sentence that does nothing to add to their presentation. Your discussion is important to the writer of the 1st Post. This response is particularly important, as it provides the first level of evaluation of the questions your classmates are considering for the focus of their capstone projects.
Capstone Topic Choices (I’m open to suggestions)
Share with your classmates some of the topics you are considering exploring or showcasing in your capstone project. If you have already determined a topic or subject, suggest alternatives that would interest you if it were not possible to pursue your first choice for any reason.
Be sure to include in your post a major question that you will need to answer in your capstone project. Consider that the major question you offer should be answered by 3 or 4 sub-questions, which you should include in your post. (In answering these sub-questions, you will answer the major question.) Do not ask any questions that require a yes or no answer.
Settling on which questions to answer is the base of your capstone project. Once you have organized and revised your sub-questions that answer your major question, you are on the road to success.

Small Groups and Communities Essay

Small Groups and Communities

This assignment will introduce you to the use of small groups to deliver a service. You will also explore how communities are developed and how community influences human behavior.
Tasks:
Using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, explore these concepts and respond to the following:

  • Identify three types of small groups.
  • Locate and provide real-life examples of small groups (such as support groups, community groups, education groups, and parent support groups) in your community.
  • Specifically discuss the purpose and scope of each of the three groups chosen earlier, along with the group structure, the population served, the frequency of group meetings, and the duration of the group.
  • Define the term “community” and then discuss the influences of the global communication technologies on the nature of communities. You can use the groups identified above as examples to explain your points.
  • Compare two theoretical approaches to community (for example, contrasting types, spatial arrangements, social systems, social capital, and conflict) in terms of relevance to human services.
  •  Your response should rely upon at least two sources from professional literature. This may include the Argosy University online library resources, relevant textbooks, peer-reviewed journal articles, and websites created by professional organizations, agencies, or institutions (.edu, .org, or .gov). Write in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources (i.e., APA format); and use accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
