Policy loyalty vs. neutral competence
Policy/Career Schedule Employment and Federal Service
The article examines President Trump’s authority to reinstate Executive Order (EO) 13957, which established a new Policy/Career Schedule for federal executive branch employees with policy-influencing positions. The order seeks to move many of the executive branch’s competitive service employees to a new non-competitive schedule where they will serve as at-will employees with no procedural due process removal rights. In October 2020, EO 13957 crea…

The New Public Integrity Management and the Protection of the Impartiality of Bureaucratic Decision-Making
The article argues that government organizations and the discipline of public administration should embrace a New Public Integrity Management (NPIM) to bridge the gap between advocates of external and internal public integrity controls on the behavior of public employees and contract government employees. The article argues that external and internal controls are important in maintaining public trust in government. This includes the management of…
Religion in the Public Workplace
Today, public organizations face an increasing challenge of accommodating workplace religious expression by their employees. This article examines the impact of First Amendment workplace religious expression jurisprudence on workplace religious expression by public employees. The article also discusses the impact of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, on the workplace religious expression rights of public employees. The article…
Democracy at Risk
The article argues that the Pickering/Connick/Garcetti line of cases defining the First Amendment freedom of speech rights of public employees provides them little protection when they engage in organizational dissent. The article explains that the U.S. Supreme Court has embraced a managerial approach to the freedom of speech rights of public employees because of its belief that organizational dissent may seriously undermine the efficiency and ef…
The Administrative Presidency and Federal Service
Through the 20th and early 21st century, the United States has seen the growth of the administrative presidency. As political polarization has made it much more difficult for a presidential administration to push public policy initiatives through Congress, presidential administrations have become much more dependent on executive orders, policy statements, federal rulemaking, and nonenforcement policies to implement their agenda. Presidential admi…
Moral Psychology of Gratitude
"Expressions of gratitude abound. We value the benevolence of others, and when we--or our loved ones--are the recipients of benevolence, our emotional response is often one of gratitude. But, are we bound to the requirement of 'repaying' our benefactors in some way? If we are, and there are--as ordinary language suggests--debts of gratitude, what kind of debts are these? Does the appropriateness of my gratitude require that my benefactor in fact …
The Judicial Response to the Presidential Polarization of the Administrative State
From the late 20th century through today, the relationship between the administrative state and the judiciary has undergone major changes. The same period has seen presidential administrations seek to make use of bureaucratic power to implement their public policy initiatives without having to obtain the approval of Congress. After reviewing the evolution of judicial oversight of the administrative state, the essay argues that the federal courts …
The Search for Accountability
The U.S. Supreme Court in McDonnell v. United States (2016 U.S. Supreme Court. (2016). Oral arguments. Robert F. McDonnell v. United States, April 27. Retrieved from http://www.supremecourt.gov/oral_arguments/argument_transcripts/15-474_1bn2.pdf [Google Scholar]) vacated the conviction of a former Virginia governor for accepting bribes. The court found that arranging a meeting, calling or contacting another official, or hosting an event does not,…

Narrative Ethics
This paper explores the relationships between philosophical ethics and literary narratives. The focus on virtues and vices in recent ethics has made narratives more integrally relevant to ethics. Some of the best literature displays moral (and immoral) character in richer ways than philosophy alone has resources to do, but philosophy brings to its description a schematic precision that narrative alone cannot supply. As traits of character, virtue…
The Supreme Court and Federal Prosecution of State and Local Government Corruption
In Skilling v. United States (2010), the U. S. Supreme Court sharply limited the use of the honest service doctrine of the federal mail fraud statute to prosecute state and local officials on public corruption charges. The decision limits the application of the doctrine to bribes and kickbacks. The high court made clear that Congress has broad authority to criminalize "corrupt" conduct, but to do so must clearly define the conduct it wishes to re…
Damned If You Do and Damned If You Don’t
What has been the impact of the U.S. Supreme Court's 2009 decision in Ricci v. Destefano on the selection and promotion practices of public employers?; Relying solely on circumstantial evidence, the Supreme Court held that the Civil Service Board of New Haven, Connecticut, had engaged in Title VII disparate treatment discrimination by refusing to certify the results of a promotion examination that led, in turn, to a disparate impact on African Am…
The Rise of Compliance-Based Ethics Management
Compliance-based ethics management has become the primary method of maintaining high ethical standards in governmental and non-governmental organizations. There are several reasons why organizations have embraced compliance regulation as the key method of keeping public confidence in their integrity. Compliance-based management (1) provides organizations a certain level of immunity from illegal acts committed by their employees and officials, and…
Developments in the Law
On May 30, 2006 the Supreme Court handed down a 5–4 decision in the case of Garcetti v. Ceballos, announcing that “when public employees make statements pursuant to their official duties, they are not speaking as citizens for First Amendment purposes, and the Constitution does not insulate their communications from employer discipline.” Previously, the Court had held in Pickering v. Board of Education (1968) that the First Amendment’s protection …
History of the Legalization of Executive Branch Ethics Regulation
From the early 1960s through today, the federal executive branch has seen a significant expansion of an ethics management program designed to protect citizen confidence in the impartiality and objectivity of government decision-making. The program has placed a heavy emphasis on regulating financial conflicts of interest. Instead of protecting confidence in government decision-making, the program has actually lowered ethical expectations for feder…
First Ladies
A first lady's power and influence is conditioned by many complicated administrative and environmental variables. These variables can present problems for first ladies. However, two often cited problems, the nonconstitutional nature of the first lady's job and the first lady's management of the public‐private divide are either nonexistent or receding in nature respectively. To further mitigate these so‐called problems, we argue that the president…

Public Journalism and Public Knowledge
Public journalism is challenging the more traditional notions of mainstream journalism. It represents an attempt to connect journalists with the communities within which they operate. It places citizen input at the center of journalistic concerns. In this essay, we examine the origin and development of public journalism. We note a few of the similarities in this movement to the early muckrakers operating at the turn of the century. We then consid…

The Social Gospel and the Trust-Busters
By 1878 the United States stood on the verge of a period of immense consolidation and concentration of business wealth. Already the process was underway by means of pools and marketing agreements, and the powerful "trusts" were in the immediate future. By the turn of the century the characteristic feature of American business was the giant corporation, built on holding companies and interlocking directorates. The existence of such great wealth an…
Youthful sex offenders
Comparative studies of sexual deviance among children are few in number and limited in scope (Atcheson, 1954; Cook, 1934; Doshay, 1943; McCord, 1962). For example, there have been no investigations of adolescent deviants comparable to investigations of adult sexual deviants such as those carried out by Gebhard and his associates (1962) or by Ellis and Brancale (1956). Findings from these and similar studies indicate the presence of differences-bo…

The Classic Slum
This is a study which combines personal reminiscences with careful historical research, the myth of the 'good old days' is summarily dispensed with. Robert Roberts describes the period of his childhood, when the main affect of poverty in Edwardian Salford was degradation, and despite great resources of human courage, few could escape such a prison

On June 12, 1984, Supreme Court held in Memphis v. Stotts [104 S.Ct. 2576, 52 LW 4767 (1984)] that Title VII of Civil Rights Act of 1964 did not give federal trial courts authority to modify consent decrees requiring employers to institute class-wide, race-conscious hiring and promotion programs to block layoff of minority employees hired as result of such settlements of employment discrimination suits. The high court found that Section 703(h) of…
