When did the euphemism "non-consensual sexual encounter" first start getting thrown around? I've heard it a lot since Trump got elected. Sure seems like "rape" is more accurate and less Orwellian. Though I guess even the Newspeak version of "rape" would be sexcrime, which is actually more accurate than "non-consensual sexual encounter."

Rape in many jurisdictions explicitly means non consensual penetration of the vagina, anus or mouth (and some other cases involving people who are passed out or mentally invalid) It has come to have a broader meaning on the internet tho. But if you are being careful and mindful of defamation and the like there may be a legal distinction in your jurisdiction. Also many jurisdictions don’t even have “rape” but call it sexual assault or similar.

You know I actually had that discussion with a friend of mine today. "Rape" sounds Really Bad but when you say "non-consensual sexual encounter" it takes a bit of the sting off.euphronius posted:Not good !!!! You'll be pleased to know that the person running to replace the sheriff also resigned over a sexual misconduct scandal, among other things. My state is so hosed when it comes to public scandals. Then again, I guess it's every state.

If they consistently spell a name wrong does that invalidate something like that? IE sending a subpoena to google demanding access logs for goggle.com on a given date, or something. Are they supposed to assume they really meant google.com, or can they just correctly go "we don't own that, sorry" and make them send it again spelled right?

What's the deal with sanctuary cities? From what I've read, the idea is the state police aren't required to do legwork for the Feds, is that correct? Is there more to it?

Federal government can’t force state government/employees to enforce federal law or act as federal police/officials. Also can’t de facto supplement state legislatures and various other infringements on federalism. They can, however, use finical incentives to compel state action, up to a point. It’s okay to cut highway funding to make the drinking age 21, not okay to take away Medicare funding to force the ACA expansion. Broadly, Can’t force local cops to act as federal immigration officers, can potentially take away federal funding if the local cops don’t act as federal immigration officers Further suggested reading: South Dakota v dole National Federation of Independent Business v.

My wife earned college credits through her employer last year. This year she had them sent to her school, then a few weeks later she quit, with a full month notice, after being retaliated against for reporting discriminatory behavior. She went to her supervisor's supervisor to report her supervisor, and was written up for "going out of the chain of command". Now the credit's aren't showing up on her account. We are pretty sure the higher up in question canceled them, as he was involved in the retaliatory write-up as well as responsible for initially sending the credits to the school. These credits have been available for her use all year (she could and should have already used them fall '17) and there's nothing that says they are contingent on employment. She has legal recourse right? We are pretty sure if she contacts a partner it'll get sorted, because the company is being sued by EVERYBODY right now, but I want to make sure there's grounds or whatever. Thanks!

Yes US. She applied for them from her employer at the beginning of the school year and was "awarded" them at that time on the basis of her work the previous year, told she could use them at any time.These are credits the school gave her employer in exchange for internships. There's nothing anywhere that says they are contingent on continued employment and they can't be given to anyone else by the employer. I guess legally the question is what kind of property interest she has in this award that they just stole from her? Harold Fjord fucked around with this message at 13:25 on Apr 19, 2018 |

At the last company I was at, tuition reimbursement was contingent on completing the course with a C or higher and you didn't get the money back until after.

We have the application for the credits and the email informing her they had been awarded, neither mention such contingency. We also have the employment handbook which doesn't speak to it at all.

What is the total value of the credits? I suspect it will be hard to show a vested property interest in the credits, but I'll let an employment benefits attorney, if we have any, opine on that.

Hot Dog Day #91 posted:What is the total value of the credits? About $5,500. FWIW I know the person who was supervisor at the Agency who did the actual awarding, she's no longer with that Agency but was able to clarify what she meant by some confusing language on the paperwork. Thanks for helping me narrow this issue.

Have you talked to the school? It seems odd that an employer would be able to unilaterally cancel them after informing the school to award them. School might also do it just to avoid ending up as part of any legal proceedings relating to retaliation

I'm not sure how we could get the school to insert themselves, it seems unlikely.

Nevvy Z posted:School confirmed that there is no policy requiring her to be a current employee to use the credits and that the supervisor involved was the person to "update the list" of credits to input. I'm not sure how we could get the school to insert themselves, it seems unlikely. Here are my totally non-legal thoughts on the matter: You talk about "credits" like they're physical coins that you can hand-deliver to the school, and the company took them away from you(your wife). Do you mean "Class Credits" as in "hours completed" or like, "if your tuition bill was $10,000, you're tuition balance is now reduced by $5,500." If this is a program through the school, I find it hard to believe there's not someone at the school with the authority to go into the computer system and type, "Mrs. Nevvy Z earned XX credits on XX/XX/201X." I would try going through the school first, and every person who tells you, "I can't do that." should probably be reminded that, "the school agreed to this arrangement with me, so you(the school) needs to find me someone who can do that." I guarantee you the President of the school can make it happen. And someone under them can, and someone under them can. You're just starting from the other end of the chain and need to go high enough up it. I also expect that eventually someone in the chain of command will say, "Our agreement is with the employer, that they'll pay us a certain amount of money, so you'll have to go ask them." If this is a school program, I'd reply that "this is an agreement between you, me, and the employer - the fact that they're trying to stiff you(the school) is your problem, not mine." OR If this is all between you and your employer, i.e. they're gonna give you $5,500 as part of your compensation, but pay it directly to the school like a 401K or something, then its essentially the same as them stiffing you on your last paycheck, and you should probably file with your State's employment commission as if thats what happened.

I don't think it matters whether they physically exist anymore than the money in your bank account, but yes, they are each an imaginary token that can be given to the school to pay the cost of a credit hour. blarzgh posted:I also expect that eventually someone in the chain of command will say, "Our agreement is with the employer, that they'll provide our students with internships, so you'll have to go ask them." If this is a school program, I'd reply that "this is an agreement between you, me, and the employer - the fact that they're trying to stiff you(the school) is your problem, not mine." Bolded section is fixed to my understanding. The employer isn't stiffing the school, because the school is billing my wife for her tuition. The employer went into whatever form they submit to the school and "updated" it to remove my wife's credits. This is why we aren't pursuing asking the school to fix this, though if an attorney wanted to include the school in whatever proceeding I would understand it. quote:If this is all between you and your employer, i.e. they're gonna give you $5,500 as part of your compensation, but pay it directly to the school like a 401K or something, then its essentially the same as them stiffing you on your last paycheck, and you should probably file with your State's employment commission as if thats what happened.
