Author Tiffany J. Huang discusses the article, "Translating Authentic Selves into Authentic Applications: Private College Consulting and Selective College Admissions," published in the April 2024 issue of Sociology of Education.

This Day in Legal History: Louis XVI Put on TrialOn December 26, 1792, a significant event in legal history unfolded as Romain de Sèze, a dedicated defense attorney, stood before a French Revolutionary court to defend the deposed King Louis XVI. This trial was a pivotal moment during the tumultuous times of the French Revolution. Louis XVI, once a symbol of monarchical power, faced thirty-three serious charges, primarily centered around treason and crimes against the state. These accusations reflected the intense political and social upheaval of the era.De Sèze's defense was a remarkable effort under the circumstances, given the prevailing revolutionary fervor and the public's animosity towards the monarchy. His arguments focused on disputing the legitimacy of the charges and the authority of the court itself to try a king. Despite his efforts, the trial led to a conviction for Louis XVI. On January 15, 1793, the former king was found guilty.This trial and the subsequent events were a testament to the drastic changes in French society and governance. The execution of Louis XVI by guillotine on January 21, 1793, just days after his conviction, marked a profound shift in the balance of power. It signaled the end of absolute monarchy in France and the rise of revolutionary ideals.The trial of Louis XVI remains a critical study in legal history, illustrating the complexities of law and justice during times of political upheaval. It serves as a reminder of how legal processes can be deeply intertwined with the socio-political context of their times.In fiscal year 2023, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) witnessed a significant decline in the number of whistleblowers receiving awards, despite an unprecedented surge in tips. The SEC received over 18,000 tips, marking a 50% increase from the previous year. However, only 68 informants were compensated, a stark contrast to the more than 100 in each of the preceding two years. This decline occurred in a period marked by a record payout to a single whistleblower, who received $279 million for exposing a $1 billion fraud at Swedish telecom LM Ericsson.The program, established under the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial reform law following Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme, is designed to encourage reporting of financial misconduct. Since its inception, it has recovered over $6 billion and paid out nearly $2 billion to informants. In the last year alone, nearly $600 million was awarded, with significant sums going to a few individuals, including a group of seven whistleblowers who shared $104 million.However, the program faces challenges. Attorneys and participants note it is struggling under its own success, hampered by insufficient resources and staffing despite the increasing number of tips. This has led to delays in payouts and difficulties in appeal processes for whistleblowers. Additionally, there is a lack of transparency and communication from the SEC, as evidenced by the limited information shared in its annual reports and decisions to seal critical rulings or deny Freedom of Information Act requests.A 2022 Bloomberg Law investigation revealed that the SEC often exceeded its mandate for secrecy and inconsistently applied its own rules in decision-making. The whistleblower process, involving an initial vetting by the enforcement division followed by payment determination by the Office of the Whistleblower, can be lengthy, with payouts varying between 10% and 30% of recovered funds.Calls for reform have been made, urging Congress to allocate more resources to expedite the process and address issues like non-payment in cases of corporate bankruptcy. The case of whistleblowers John McPherson and John Barr, who uncovered a $1 billion fraud but were denied awards due to the bankruptcy of the involved company, highlights this issue.The purpose of the SEC whistleblower program extends beyond protecting informants; it aims to uphold the stability of U.S. financial markets. Experts suggest improvements like providing more updates to whistleblowers during lengthy investigations and ensuring adequate resources for the program to continue its critical role in enforcing U.S. securities laws.SEC Payouts to Whistleblowers Plummet Amid Record Surge in TipsIn 2024, legislative and ballot initiatives across various U.S. states will focus on raising minimum wages, influenced by past successes in this arena. States that haven't yet reached a $15 minimum wage, like Ohio and Oklahoma, are considering ballot proposals, while Michigan faces legal battles over past and future initiatives. In contrast, states with an existing $15 minimum wage, such as California and Hawaii, are pushing for even higher rates, with California proposing an $18 minimum by 2026 and Hawaii enacting a gradual increase to the same amount by 2028.A notable development in California includes industry-specific minimum wages, with $20 for fast-food workers and $25 for health-care facility workers, a strategy that labor groups may replicate in other labor-friendly states. This trend reflects a shift in labor strategies, focusing on sector-specific wage increases. However, these rising wages present challenges for employers, especially small businesses, grappling with staffing shortages and inflation.The federal minimum wage has remained at $7.25 since 2009, leading state and local governments to take the lead in wage policy. In 2024, over 20 states and around 40 cities and counties will implement increased minimum wages. Despite these efforts, some, like Sen. Bernie Sanders, advocate for a higher nationwide minimum wage, facing resistance even within the Democratic Party.Progressive groups argue that recent wage increases are insufficient for workers, particularly in high-cost areas like New York. They urge further legislative review and adjustment, citing inflation as a factor in reassessing wage goals. The "Fight for $15" movement, once a benchmark, now seems outdated as advocates push for higher minimums in several states.Several states are set to reach or exceed $15 minimum wages in 2024, with local governments in some areas already mandating over $17 per hour. In Republican-majority states, where legislatures oppose wage hikes, voter-approved ballot measures have successfully raised minimum wages, as seen in Florida and Nebraska. Upcoming ballot measures in Ohio and Oklahoma are thus a focus for groups like the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), which sees these initiatives as critical battlegrounds. Meanwhile, Virginia Democrats are attempting to raise the state's minimum wage to $15 by 2026, facing potential gubernatorial opposition.Minimum Wage Hikes Primed for Ballot, Statehouse Battles in 2024On December 26, Apple Inc. appealed a U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) decision to ban imports of its Apple Watches that infringe on patents held by medical monitoring technology company Masimo. The ban, which took effect the same day, specifically targets Apple Watches using a pulse oximeter feature for reading blood-oxygen levels, a technology incorporated since the Series 6 model in 2020. The U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai, after careful consultation, chose not to reverse the ban.Apple, disagreeing with the ITC's decision, stated it is taking measures to resume sales of its Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 in the U.S. The company has already paused sales of these models in the U.S., but they remain available through other retailers. The ban does not affect the Apple Watch SE model or previously sold watches.Masimo has accused Apple of stealing its pulse oximetry technology and incorporating it into the Apple Watch. A previous jury trial on Masimo's allegations ended in a mistrial, and Apple has countersued Masimo for patent infringement in a separate case.This ban comes amid a broader context where the Biden administration has not vetoed ITC rulings, continuing a trend since the Obama administration. The ban is significant given that Apple's wearables, including the Apple Watch, are a substantial revenue generator for the company.Apple Watch import ban takes effect after Biden administration passes on veto | ReutersTwitter, now known as X Corp, was found to have breached contracts by not paying millions of dollars in promised bonuses to its employees, as ruled by a U.S. federal judge. Mark Schobinger, the former senior director of compensation at Twitter, filed a lawsuit against the company in June, alleging breach of contract. He claimed that Twitter, both before and after its acquisition by Elon Musk, had committed to paying employees 50% of their 2022 target bonuses, which were never disbursed.U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria denied Twitter's motion to dismiss the case, stating that Schobinger's claim plausibly constituted a breach of contract under California law. The judge affirmed that a binding contract was formed when Twitter offered the bonus in exchange for Schobinger's work. Twitter's argument, asserting that only an oral promise was made and that Texas law should apply, was rejected by the judge, who ruled that California law was applicable and dismissed Twitter's counterarguments.Since Musk's takeover, X Corp has faced numerous lawsuits from former employees and executives. These lawsuits include allegations of discrimination against various groups, including older employees, women, and workers with disabilities, as well as accusations of failing to provide advance notice for mass layoffs. The company has denied any wrongdoing in these cases. The ruling on the breach of contract regarding unpaid bonuses adds to the legal challenges faced by the company under its new management.Twitter violated contract by failing to pay millions in bonuses, US judge rules | ReutersIn my column this week, I discuss the proposed bills in the New York State Assembly and Senate aimed at repealing property tax exemptions for private universities. These bills primarily target large institutions such as New York University and Columbia University, which benefit significantly from these exemptions. However, I argue that without broader reforms, such repercussions would only lead to increased tuition fees, burdening students.I propose a progressive solution: linking university endowment taxes to tuition rates. This approach would compel universities to absorb the costs of property tax reforms while restraining tuition hikes. I emphasize the economic principle of incidence, highlighting how universities, like landlords, pass costs onto students, similar to tenants facing rent increases. This phenomenon has implications beyond fiscal aspects, potentially reshaping the socioeconomic landscape of campuses and threatening diversity.Considering the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision on affirmative action, universities are seeking alternative ways to maintain diversity. Increased tuition could disproportionately affect lower-income students, impacting the demographic composition of these institutions. In response, I suggest a two-pronged policy reform. Firstly, introducing a state-level tax on university endowments, akin to the federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which taxes certain large endowments. Secondly, implementing a simple endowment tax that rises with tuition increases.This approach would pressure universities to find alternative funding sources instead of raising tuition. It aims to make a dollar taken from students less valuable than one sourced elsewhere. Additionally, universities should be prevented from cutting scholarships and grants as a means to counterbalance property tax expenses.Proper implementation of these reforms would require careful consideration of tuition thresholds and tax rates to discourage universities from raising tuition. The revenue generated should ideally support public university systems without disadvantaging private university students. This balanced approach seeks to ensure that tax policies do not adversely affect students' educational opportunities and financial burdens.New York College Tax Exemption Bills Need Progressive Solution Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

The Washington Attorney General's Office is being accused of an “unethical and probably illegal” act of ordering a private university that is not a client of the AGO to seize and preserve records in anticipation of a potential lawsuit, a process known as a “litigation hold notice.” The litigation hold notice is part of an ongoing dispute between Police Strategies President Bob Scales, a former King County prosecutor, and the AGO over various aspects of a request for proposal process to develop a public police use of force database. Scales intended to subcontract with Seattle University, which at the time was looking at bidding on the proposal but ultimately declined. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/washington-in-focus/support

Private college counselors - also known as Independent Educational Consultants (IECs) - are definitely an investment, but so worth it to set your student up for the best possible college experience! In this episode, I am sharing all the ins and outs on IECs, including how private college counselors are different from high school and admissions counselors, what to look for in an IEC, and when it's time to hire one for your student.Some key takeaways on finding a private college counselor:According to the National Association for College Admissions Counseling, there is one counselor for about every 482 students in schools. School counselors are way too overloaded to give the 1:1 attention needed for the admissions process.Private college counselors offer a variety of services such as workshops, group programs, and 1:1 counseling. Their goal is to make sure you get the most out of the investment you're making in your college education.A good IEC will never ever speak ill of the school counselor community or disparage any academic institution. If they do, run the other way and find a good counselor that is a cheerleader and who is prioritizing finding the best fit college for you.The Admissions Club Podcast is your one-stop shop for all things college admissions, complete with a nostalgic 80s playlist and Gen X vibes. It's hard to believe that we've traded in scrunchies and Bruce Springsteen posters for walking our kids through the college admissions process!  But, I'm here to share my 25 years of higher education experience, with 10 years of direct college admissions experience, with you and your student so you don't have to walk it alone.Connect with Elizabeth!WebsiteFacebookYouTubeLinkedIn

#26: College affordability is tough but 529 college savings plans can help you boost college savings.529s have similarities to Roth accounts. They are (mostly) taxed going in, but grow and get withdrawn tax-free (if spent on qualified things).But 529s also have complexities, and the rules changed significantly with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and, more recently, the Secure Act.So for this week’s podcast, I invited Ann Garcia, a CFP who specializes in (and blogs about) college financial planning, to deep dive on how 529 college savings plans work.We talk about:Key rules, tax benefits, and pros & cons of 529sWhat are considered “qualified” educational expenses, how it’s enforced, and what happens if you fail to spend on qualified expensesWhen it makes sense to invest in a different state’s 529 plan vs. your own state’sStrategies and tradeoffs of grandparents funding 529sImportant changes to 529s introduced by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and the Secure ActHow the Private College 529 allows you to lock in future tuition using today’s pricesDo you have a 529 plan for your kiddos?

Lori Loughlin is said to be ramping up her prep for the maximum 45-year sentence she faces for her part in the Varsity Blues college admissions scandal. Lee argues, maybe buying your way into a private college isn't so bad. 

Why is it so difficult sometimes for professionals with overlapping competencies to collaborate or communicate even when they seek the same outcomes. Amy and Mike invited Cathy Charles Szendrey, who works as both a school-based and private college counselor, to explore how school and private college counselors can work together.  What are five things you will learn in this episode? Why do school counselors often reject working with outside college consultants? Are there positive ways school counselors and private consultants can work together? Why should school counselors work with or refer outside counselors?  What role does a student’s family play in encouraging collaboration? Are there good reasons for families to engage private college consultants? MEET OUR GUEST Cathy Charles Szendrey has been counseling, coaching and advising students for twenty years.  She began her career advising first generation students through the access group formerly known as Cleveland Scholarship.  This opportunity trained her in the areas of college counseling, financial aid and scholarships for the most at risk students in the greater Cleveland area. Cathy then went onto become the Director of College Counseling at St. Ignatius High School, a nationally recognized all-male Jesuit High School.  During her time at Ignatius, Cathy brought Naviance onboard, created college application classes, and co-created the Cleveland Urban plunge week.  After leaving St. Ignatius, Cathy began her own private college admissions consulting business where she partnered with three innovative high schools in the Cleveland Municipal School district, mapping out their first graduation success plans. In this role, she took students on college tours, coordinated high stakes test prep, designed summer programs to develop and launch college applications, as well as informing administration and faculty about the process.  Currently, Cathy has her feet in both worlds of high school college advising: she is a high school counselor at a suburban Cleveland high school and is a private college consultant who advises families on planning for college from 8th to 12th grade.  Cathy's diverse experience has trained her in student planning for the best fit in academic classes ranging from Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, College dual enrollment and all other opportunities for course enrichment. She has consulted on sports, fine arts, and military recruitment processes.  She also works with families needing assistance with IEP’s, 504’s and navigating the challenges of mental health issues for their child. Cathy is a passionate learner of all things counseling and considers it her lifelong calling.
