The document summarizes an interview with Rebecca Largent, the Title IX investigator at Northern Arizona University. As the Title IX investigator, Rebecca investigates reports of gender and sexual violence filed by students. She conducts neutral fact-finding investigations and meets with both complainants and respondents. The interviewee learned that maintaining neutrality and providing support to both parties is important. Rebecca emphasized that empathy, compassion, and a desire to work with students are key to being a successful investigator. While the role seems challenging, Rebecca finds it satisfying to help keep campus safe through the investigation process.
This document summarizes an interview with a high school student, Student Z, about her process of searching for information on Michael Jackson for a class project. The interview tested Kuhlthau's Information Seeking Process theory. Student Z initially struggled to find sources in the library catalog and felt frustrated, but eventually found two print sources and websites to complete her project. Her process somewhat followed Kuhlthau's stages, but she did not fully explore the topic before selecting it. The interviewer believes Student Z's search could have been improved by getting help from a librarian and narrowing her search terms.
Students from SJSU's political science fraternity Pi Sigma Alpha observed the first presidential debate between President Obama and Mitt Romney at a downtown San Jose hotel. The debate covered issues like the economy, healthcare, and social security. Some students said Obama has more experience while others said they were interested to hear both sides' arguments. The satellite was built by SJSU students in partnership with NASA and was launched from the International Space Station to conduct communications experiments.

The document contains two samples of student reflections on interviews with professionals about changes in their careers and workplaces.
Sample A discusses an interview with the student's father, who has worked in construction for over 30 years. He has witnessed both positive changes like new technologies making communication easier, and negative changes like decreased work ethic among younger generations and more stress due to economic pressures.
Sample B discusses an interview with a physician assistant about changes in healthcare. Technology, education standards, and the expanding role of PAs are constantly evolving. She has had to adapt to these changes in order to succeed in her career.

THE EXCLUSIONARY RULEThis week we learned about the exclusionary.docxmehek4
THE EXCLUSIONARY RULE
This week we learned about the exclusionary rule. That is of course not the only method that could be used to deal with evidence seized in violation of the Constitution. Some see this as police misconduct and that society loses when we enforce the exclusionary rule. Others see officers as public agents (after all they are doing your work not their own agenda) and appropriate to punish the government instead of the individual officers.
· Should a murderer go free because police made a mistake?
· What do you think about this?
· Is the exclusionary rule the best option?
· It was created by judges not Congress after all. Are there other methods we could consider? What are they?
This is an essay response type question. Your answer should be at least 350 words. After completing your post review the majority of other posts. Feel free to comment as you wish.
MIRANDA
Last week’s class deals primarily with the assistance of an attorney regarding questioning. While there are a lot of misconceptions as to when Miranda must be read, it seems almost everyone knows the rights outlined in the Miranda Warning; however, if police neglect to read the warning to a suspect prior to custodial interrogation the suspect’s statements are not admissible (even if the suspect is an attorney or police officer that obviously knows the Miranda Warning).
· So I ask you, do we still need the Miranda Warning? Congress tried, unsuccessfully to eliminate the requirement. Why do we still have it?
· Do you think it serves a useful purpose?
· Why do we even have the Miranda Warning? We don’t require police to tell people they have a right to refuse consent to search. . .
This is an essay response type question. Your answer should be at least 350 words. After completing your post review the majority of other posts. Feel free to comment as you wish.
PUNISHMENT
This past week we covered the 8th Amendment, particularly that of cruel and unusual punishment. For this discussion I want you to consider what punishment is and what it is not.
· Do prisoners really have rights?
· What limits should they have?
· How and who should determine where we draw the line?
· Do they have an expectation to privacy in their cells?
· Should they be able to vote in prison?
· Should they be able to have guns when they are released from jail or prison?
· What about segregation?
· What do you do with a prisoner who assaults other prisoners and staff every chance they get?
· When is capital punishment appropriate?
In order to receive full credit you must not only include your opinion on one of these issues, but also the LEGAL basis for it. (If the courts do not agree with you, state how they have decided and what the legal argument would be against it.) Please do a post of at least 300 words. As always be sure to come back and review other posts.

Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

Student Affairs Interview Paper
1. Running Head: INVESTIGATING TITLE IX Peterson 1
Investigating Title IX: An Interview With Rebecca Largent
Amy Peterson
Northern Arizona University
2. INVESTIGATING TITLE IX Peterson 2
I know unequivocally that I want to work with students of concern within the field of
Student Affairs. However, there are various ways to work with this specific student population--
yet I remain uncertain which path is right for me. After considering the different roles I could
probe into, I decided to talk to Northern Arizona University’s (NAU) Title IX Investigator,
Rebecca Largent, about her position and ability to work with students of concern. As her title
suggests, Rebecca explained to me that her main role is to investigate. Specifically, she looks
into situations of gender/sexual violence that are reported by students. These situations can
include sexual misconduct, dating domestic violence, stalking, voyeurism, and more. When a
student reports to the university that they have been a victim in one of these events, they have the
option to file a complaint under the Student Code of Conduct and thus initiate an investigation.
Here at NAU, we use a dual investigation model: 2 trained staff members conduct the
investigations. At the moment Rebecca is the only Title IX investigator and is consequently
assisted by other professional members within the Office of Student Life. However the Office of
Student Life is currently on the search to hire another investigator to assist Rebecca full time.
I have a personal interest in learning more about Title IX and Rebecca’s position not only
because it involves working with students of concern, but also due to the fact that I have seen
violence expressed against the women I am closest to in my life. Rebecca was additionally
inspiring to me as I saw many parallels in her personality to my own. When asked what drives
her, she responded with “a passion for working with students and crises” (R. Largent, personal
interview, September 9, 2016). This was groundbreaking because it was the first time since
entering Student Affairs that a professional said they were motivated by the same causes as
myself. It’s never been easy to explain that I truly want to respond to crises. Most are off-put by
the idea, some chuckle, and a few fail to fully recognize what I am saying is a passion. Even in
3. INVESTIGATING TITLE IX Peterson 3
this regard Rebecca has been relatable. “Isn’t that hard, how can you listen to that? I can never
do your job,” are quotes that Rebecca quickly quips out when asked how people react to her job.
For Rebecca, many are either fascinated or astonished with her position. “Did you kick anybody
out?” is a common first question she faces. Additionally, those in law enforcement sometimes
question why her position exists because she’s not an officer. Rebecca told me, “The explanation
I try to avoid but seems to get accepted most often is explaining I am required by the federal
government to investigate. However, that’s not why I do my job.” I have always felt strange for
saying students of concern has been a functional area I am passionate about because it is an
intense and stressful demographic to work with. Yet hearing Rebecca casually explain how
others commonly misunderstand her motivations outside her field was extremely validating. She
summarized our experiences in one simple sentence: “Until they work with students outside of
student service, they won’t get it.”
However, I recognize I may struggle with maintaining the required neutrality that is
essential from investigators after talking to Rebecca about what her job looks like during a case.
For example, Rebecca meets with both the complainant (the victim) and the respondent (the
accused) and other witnesses to gather information to piece together what occurred. Rebecca
emphasized to me that her entire role is to remain neutral and focused on fact finding. One part
of her job includes meeting with complainants and providing info about support systems on
campus such as: the on-campus advocate, the Student Legal Counsel Office, info on how to
move residence halls, assistance in rearranging classes or sending out memos, confirming
withdrawals, etc. All of this information about providing support seemed like standard protocol I
was familiar with as a former Resident Assistant. However, what I failed to recognize was how
the same exact services can apply to respondents. Rebecca emphasized that complainants are not
4. INVESTIGATING TITLE IX Peterson 4
the only students who need aid through the process—those who are accused may need support as
well. Though it seems blatantly obvious now, I learned in that moment to continue looking at
both parties involved as students in need and not to narrow my focus on complainants.
As an empathetic person with ties to men performing violence against women, I am
aware that I have a bias in cases where women are accusing others harming them—especially
males. As I mulled my bias over, I began to question if my empathy would be a hindrance should
I pursue a Title IX career. Yet just as my snowballing self-doubt started to gain traction, Rebecca
conveniently told me that empathy is a requirement in her position. In fact she believes that there
are three key things to being successful as an investigator: a high sense of compassion, empathy,
and a desire to work with students. She added on that one would probably require some sense of
investigation and analytical skills, but the previously listed traits take precedence. She told me
that these qualities are necessary, as you have to ask difficult questions that may never get fully
answered. But if you ask enough questions, you gain enough information to create a picture. She
told me that one needs to brace themself when diving into sexual experiences with college
students because tough questions such as “where did someone penetrate you? With what part of
their body?” will need to be asked. Yet conducting with enough compassion that you remain
sensitive to their situation is where the fine line exists.
Another aspect to Rebecca’s job that I foresee being difficult is the fact a Title IX
investigation is not a criminal investigation. Since I have seen violence against women and am
aware that most cases go unreported, I am a passionate advocator for reporting to law
enforcement. Though I know some cases will be dismissed, I believe that consistent reporting
can eventually escalate into preventative or legal action. In my version of an ideal world,
perpetrators of violence will always be turned into the police and victims always gain their
5. INVESTIGATING TITLE IX Peterson 5
justice through the system. However, if I were to be a Title IX investigator I need to accept that
complainants do not always want to press legal charges, and also accept that the two
investigations conducted between the university and the police are wholly separate and
independent of one another’s findings. Rebecca explained the nuances of the process and
clarified that we don’t share information gained from our investigations with law enforcement.
Yet we can see and request the information that they found because their information is public
information. Many times the information is shared with the university such as police reports, but
it is simply included in our investigation and a court’s decision should not sway our decision
(and vice versa). For example, if someone was found guilty, an institution does not automatically
find them responsible as well. Instead we focus on examining what information was used in the
criminal process that aided in the court’s decision and possibly include their findings in the
campus investigation.
One stark and relevant example of this that comes to my mind is the People v. Turner
case. The general public is aware that there was serious injustice in Turner being sentenced only
six months confinement for the sexual assault of an unconscious woman. However, many
overlook the fact his university, Stanford, reacted to the highest degree an institution can towards
a student and banned/expelled him from campus. Yet Judge Persky did not reinforce the harsh
penalties given by Stanford. Is there a reason why Stanford acted to the highest degree when
Judge Persky failed to? Though theories and criticism towards Persk’s decision could fill novels,
explaining Stanford’s response is a bit simpler. As a university, our burden of proof is different
than the criminal justice system. The criminal justice system relies on “without a reasonable
doubt,” whereas our is “more likely than not.” This may mean that a university finds someone
responsible and consequently affects their student status, but respondents may be found not
6. INVESTIGATING TITLE IX Peterson 6
guilty in a court of law. Yet once a student is found to be responsible in a Title IX investigation,
the precedence is clear: suspension or expulsion is nearly always guaranteed.
By the end of my interview I had a range of emotions. I was excited to have learned
about the position and finding a relatable figure in Rebecca. I carried heavy self-doubt for if I
could be unbiased with a respondent that requires support. I remain supremely anxious at the
idea that one day I could be involved with an investigation that leads to the verdict of “no
findings for responsibility” when I am emotionally invested to believe the opposite. Do I want to
pursue a Title IX career? As I ask myself this question I am reminded of Rebecca’s humble
answer to what was most satisfying part of her job—keeping the campus safe. Rebecca believes
in the process and says, “if there is enough evidence to remove someone from campus, I feel
comfortable believing NAU campus is a little safer for that.” Rebecca’s job is not to be an officer
in a court of law or help one person more over another. Instead she focuses on being able to put
students at ease by saying “here’s what we can do. What do you want us to do? And no matter
your decision, we will have resources for you.” Rebecca says she “gets enough” from this.
Though it may be difficult for me, I am not writing off the possibility that I might too.
