Research: Presidential elections impact local prosecutor races
Research co-authored by Jamie L. Carson of the University of Georgia, Damon Cann of Utah State University and Ronald F. Wright of Wake Forest, “The Increasing Nationalization of Local Elections: The Case of Prosecutors,” recently appeared in Political Research Quarterly shows national politics don’t stay in the federal arena. Instead, they are increasingly filtering down to local races – including the prosecutor’s office.

Gov. Roy Cooper endorses VP Kamala Harris for president
Politics professor John Dinan said that “as long as Biden was at the top of the ticket, North Carolina was likely out of reach for Democrats, and in a way that had the potential to drag down prospects for down-ballot candidates in North Carolina and other states.” He added, “With Harris likely ascending to the top of the ticket, this gives Democrats a chance to reset the campaign and potentially make North Carolina more competitive for Democrats and, perhaps just as important, to possibly reduce the difficulties for down-ballot Democratic candidates.”

3 ways to recover from a bad MBA interview
“We look at the application in its entirety, but I kind of think for us the interview is probably the most critical piece,” said Kevin Bender, executive director for MBA enrollment management and recruiting at Wake Forest School of Business. “The interview, to me, is where we bring the applicant to life. They have the opportunity to hit a home run, a foul ball or strike out.”

US Supreme Court overturns Chevron doctrine
In the majority decision, Chief Justice John Roberts said the ruling does not overturn previous decisions that were based on Chevron deference, noted Stan Meiburg, a former EPA Deputy Administrator and current executive director of Wake Forest’s Sabin Family Center for Environment and Sustainability. “They seem to have closed the door on accepting challenges to, say, ambient air quality standards.” Federal agencies have been anticipating that the Supreme Court might overturn Chevron deference, Meiburg said.

Local political science professors discuss President Biden’s decision to drop out
Politics professor John Dinan said that after Biden’s performance at the CNN presidential debate in Atlanta last month, he would most likely be asked to step aside. “You saw a drumbeat of leading Democratic officials, making it known that they had asked the president to step aside. It’s understandable that until the very last moment, you put forward strength and say we would like to continue, and then eventually that strength crumbles, and you bow to the inevitable,” said Dinan.

The complicated past and present of Winston-Salem’s Confederate soldier statue
Dean of the School of Divinity Corey Walker said Civil War history has always been a battleground around American memory and what it means to be a nation. “And so, when you have the development of these Civil War statues in the late 19th century, it was about creating a particular narrative of the history of the nation and the history of a region,” he said. “And so that narrative was a narrative that served particular purposes.”

AI-generated disclosures have the potential to block patentability of human ingenuity
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office continues to seek stakeholder input on AI-generated disclosures and patentability. Law professor Raina Hague reasons that since the patent statute mandates judging obviousness “at the time the invention was made,” examiners must consider the sophistication of generative systems available to the PHOSITA at the time of the invention, which is, at the latest, the time of the first application.

Presidential debate’s climate neglect sparks criticism from NC experts
Stan Meiburg, executive director of Wake Forests’s Sabin Center, emphasized that the world is at an inflection point, where the decisions we make now will shape the country’s energy future for decades to come. “And they include: where the generation of electricity will come from, the conversion or electrification of industrial processes that now use fossil fuels, and transmission lines to get power from where it’s generated to where it’s needed, especially renewable energy,” he said.
