Faculty Symposium: The Role of the Media: The First Amendment and Beyond

The Faculty Symposium will be held on Thursday, March 14, 2019 from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. in the Faculty Shark Club (Rosenthal Building).

Freedom of the press is a paramount right guaranteed by the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States. This freedom is recognized as necessary for the free exchange of ideas in a democracy. Yet, the media is sometimes seen as going beyond the boundaries of its mission and impinging on rights guaranteed to individuals. Freedom of the press does not entirely insulate the media from suits based on defamation and invasion of privacy. This symposium will explore the role of the media through the lens of politics, law, and history. The discussion will include the role of the media generally, the protection of the media in fulfilling its role, and the way courts treat the media’s intrusiveness into private lives.

Presenters

Michael Richmond, J.D., M.S.L.S., professor of law, has been teaching at the Shepard Broad College of Law since 1978. He currently teaches Torts and Constitutional Law II (the First Amendment). Richmond taught a course in Defamation, Privacy, and Publicity, as well as a Goodwin Seminar dealing with media intrusiveness. He was president of the faculty senate in the early 1980s. His research interests range from torts to popular culture and from publicity to Gilbert and Sullivan. Richmond is presently researching an article dealing with questions raised by the First Amendment.

Charles Zelden, Ph.D., professor of history and political science for the department of history and political science in the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences, is the author of seven books and numerous articles. Zelden teaches and writes at the borderland of law, history, and politics. His teaching includes addressing the role of a free press in a democratic society. Zelden also is a regular political commentator for local and national media outlets including CNN, AP, the Tallahassee Democrat, the South Florida Sun Sentinel, WLRN public radio, and each of the South Florida network television affiliates.

Halmos Lecture Series Focuses Feral Cat Population Dynamics

On Friday, March 22, the Mathematics Colloquium Series will present Andrew Nevai, Ph.D. lecture, “Feral cat population dynamics”. Dr. Nevai is an associate professor of mathematics at the University of Central Florida. The talk will discuss a mathematical model for population dynamics of feral cats.

Feral cats are subject to various animal control measures including impounding, adoption, and euthanasia. The feral cat population also interacts with a fixed population of outdoor house cats, some of which experience abandonment. In some cases, the feral population becomes extinct while other parameter cases allow for the population to persist at a positive and globally asymptotically stable equilibrium. If only adult males can be abandoned then the model can exhibit up to two positive equilibrium points. When all three categories of cats can be abandoned then the model can exhibit up to four positive equilibrium points. The model can be extended to include the spatial movement of adult males and it can be used to describe the spread of feline leukemia within a feral cat population.

Hosted by Halmos College’s Department of Mathematics, this lecture will take place in Parker 203 from 12:05-12:55. For more information, please contact Colloquium organizer Fuzhen Zhang at zhang@nova.edu.

Razor’s Edge Shark Talent Scholars in DPVA Promote the Arts

The Razor’s Edge Shark Talent Scholars program is designed for first time in college freshman who have been active in community or high school arts programs and want to promote the arts and bring people together. These students are majors or minors in the Department of Performing and Visual Arts (DPVA) in NSU’s College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences (CAHSS). Working in three committees – social media, audience relations, and audience development – these 43 students worked on several DPVA events, including the Mayfly (24-hour theatre project/Oct 6); Facing Forward (breast cancer awareness event on Oct 18); and supported the over 100 high school students (teaching dance classes and coordinating the crowd) on Dance Awareness Day (Oct 24). Through a collaboration with Student Affairs and the Venetian Arts Society, these students once again packed the house for Tony Award winning artist Levi Kreis. These students are making a difference and several of these events were so popular that people had to be turned away.

Sunshine State Conference Tournament This Week at Rick Case Arena

SSCFrontPage (00000002)

With both Nova Southeastern men’s and women’s basketball teams earning their position among the top four teams in the Sunshine State Conference, league championship tournament action will kick off in Rick Case Arena on Wednesday, March 6. In conference quarterfinal action on Wednesday, the Sharks women will host the Embry-Riddle Eagles at 5:30 p.m., while the men will face the Tampa Spartans at 7:30 p.m.

Nova Southeastern will also serve as the host site for the semifinal and final rounds of the Sunshine State Conference Men’s and Women’s Basketball Championships, March 9-10 at Rick Case Arena. Nova Southeastern faculty and staff will be admitted to the semifinal and final games at no cost.

For the 15th consecutive year, NSU women’s basketball will head into the Sunshine State Conference Tournament. With a 17-10 overall record and 13-7 conference mark, the Sharks have grabbed the No. 4 seed. On the opposite bench at the No. 5 seed, the Eagles finished the regular season at 17-10 as well, with a 12-8 record against league opponents. This is the second year in a row the Sharks and the Eagles will square off in the SSC quarterfinal, as well as their second postseason matchup all-time – as ERAU’s first SSC eligible year was 2017-18. This season, the Sharks and the Eagles sparred twice, splitting the series. On Dec. 1, NSU kicked off road-SSC play against Embry-Riddle, falling in Daytona Beach, 64-55, to the then-22nd ranked Eagles. Hosting Embry-Riddle on Jan. 26, the Sharks cruised to an 82-61 victory.

The Sharks are paced by starting guard Alison Hughes, who averages 13.8 points per game after eight consecutive double-digit scoring outings and shoots an SSC-high 44.5 percent from deep. Christen Prasse follows Hughes with 12.1 points per game, and leads NSU in rebounds (7.8) and assists (6.4) per game, notching a program-record three triple-doubles as only the second player in NCAA history to do so. The winner of Wednesday’s quarterfinal will advance to play either Florida Southern or Barry this Saturday in the semifinal round at 12:00 p.m.
