Why would any private (or public) university’s audited financial statements (consolidated or otherwise) and schedules of federal awards, including George Washington University’s, matter? Why even read them?
Well, for one, universities tend to include law schools…
See its T.O.C.: This lacks an opening MD&A (Managmt Discussion & Analysis) but has Letter of Transmittal, the financial statemts (not that long), and — ALWAYS read, esp “Note 1” (above)— the “Notes.”
3/ As it shows, there is more than one reporting entity, and interesting facts tend to surface. Like many urban universities, GWU also has involvemt with a hospital and substantial health care operations. I understand this should be — physicians and medical care professionals..
4/ ..Need training and supervised practice opportunities. I wouldn’t want a world where this doesn’t take place, BUT it also can overshadow (compromise?) any university faculty’s tendency to expose any harmful HHS-sponsored policies/prax directed elsewhere, like at #FamilyCourts
5/ IF you take time at that link and browse the schedules of federal awards, you won’t see much HHS that seems directly aimed at promoting fathers’ rights (no “#CFDA_93086” (#HMRF) BUT an anonymous donor at the law school, $2.75 million for the professorship, has
6/ Seen fit to continue the tradition of #DVLEAP, under now a different website, and the long tradition established (it can’t really be debated for those who look) of the law faculty leadership (i.e. esp. under Prof. #JoanMeierJD) omitting critical info for “consumers” re:
7/ …the specialty niche — where #DomesticViolence (advocacy) and #FamilyCourt practices intersect, reported AS THOUGH #Fatherhood_gov and #Access_Visitation funding streams just didn’t exist, and #AFCC just not to be acknowledged, while building all three fields internationally.
7B/… and while mentoring, obviously encouraging, & modeling to future lawyers,who also volunteer for local DV orgs in the established, ALSO HHS- DOJ-backed netwks, how to NOT let slip that clients (often women) served MIGHT just want to connect fed$ input to FamCourt outcomes.
/7C
Nor do universally (#SeeMyBlog for how many I’ve looked up,for how many yrs) statewide #DV coalitions+legally (#1984FVPSA) defined “resource centers” by subject-matter, dispersed across USA: the #DVRN: #NCJFCJ/NV #PCADV/PA
1-800-799-SAFE/TX #BWJP/MN #FuturesWithoutViolence/CA
8/ If you also consider the location and other types of major funding of George WashingtonUniv, it’s proud of its international focus and admits to a major source of grants and research contracts being with the U.S. Gov’t. See those pie charts: HHS nearly half research grants.
9/ The following snapshot show just some of the screenprints I took yesterday, including several Wiki after I saw the current Dean of GWU Law came from UnivOfVirginia, which announcing it also named Rebecca Mnookin.
Activist #AFCCmembers & #HMRF can & do gravitate to lawschools
10/ This thread should be a post, but I’m no endowed professor or even an employed one. I don’t attract interns building their c.v.’s en route to a J.D. or any other degree.
But, if you follow these issues, grow up! Incorporate a basic overview of audited financial statemts of..
11/
Public AND Private universities w/ centers promoting #FamilyCourtReformists agenda. Get curious about both audited financial statements (#ACFRs_fka_CAFRs for gov’ts), tax-exempt entity databases USA, and unfortunately due to lack of restraint/honesty among US-backed policy,
12/ We survivor mothers (each has a story to tell, our lives & our children’s lives matter! although it’s hard to tell from certain quarters. Advanced degrees in fields specific to the family courts, behavioral sciences, or academics grooming next gen for the same can’t bite…
13/ ..the hands that feed them, ultimately connected to our own work lives. It seems to me that we have to also gain at least some basic comprehension of how this works in other countries — I mean, look up those charities or consultant companies, get familiar with the databases.
14/ My own family line had two career-long gov’t lawyers in it. I was personally shocked at the lack of ethics, and the insistence on engineering (within our own family line) ways and means to NOT talk about the financials involved, or profits involved (embezzled or otherwise)
15/ And blatant lying. This was done at an upper-middle-class income which STILL (apparently) wasn’t enough for the same. However, I realize that’s just a personal experience; what I’m saying holds water further IF you read the output and consider what’s withheld; & likely why.
16/ We all live and work within some context of government/s plural. All I’m saying is, basic responsibility, at a minimum in “developed” countries; if necessary, carve out the time from whatever “entertainment/distraction/decompression” time is in a day, or a week - or sleep..
17/ This is the tweet which started me reviewing all this the other day. “What’s in a name?” Why call it “Family Violence” and not just “Family Courts” (why not call it DOMESTIC violence any more?). #NFVLCgwu has a budget which would be hard to find. And my thought yesterday
18/ Was, although calling this “National” expresses intent not in alignmt with our form of representative gov’t USA, it still would be more honest to call it “INTERnational”: the focus, clearly. #SeeMyBlog sidebar on WellesleyCenters forWomen & #BatteredWomensTestimonyProject

1/Why does it always seem so complicated to put out a basic thread (context for one or two main points only?). DNK, but I really don't like context-less writing, and don't think it's fair to produce a lot of it.
Looking for something (else) on my blog today, I discovered two posts on the trademarking & proliferation of things #HighConflict #High_Conflict, a decade apart, and a third one explaining why I wrote the other one. In 2022 and 2012. Now it's 2024, and some of the same operators and career track/conference track/ FixTheCourts track influences are still doing their thing. (Links at the bottom of this post).
Note: 2022 was the year of "#KaydensLaw" #VAWA reauthorization, and out JUST in time to promote it, the non-entity first called National Safe Parents Coalition (so I used acronym "NSPC" and did drill-downs), but it quickly altered the last noun to "Organization" making my acronym irrelevant. While later (not much later!) blocking me on "X" (@safe_parents) as did some of the individual members, especially after I did the drilldowns/lookups, as is my habit) (@custodypeace and so forth).
So I had a lot to say (until went homeless again...) in 2022. I had to refer at times to posts written in 2019 as the #ArguingPAS debate was taken international/global IN ORDER TO (I say) conceal the domestic (for me, that means "USA") structural hypocrisy and conflicts built into the whole FamilyCourt system, itself a creation of only the late 1990s, but set up in the late 1960s.
Hey, I'm just a DV and FC survivor now dealing with fiduciary abuse (resulting in homelessness, joblessness, and no contact with immediate family members -- some of them are just plain dangerous, others have been, guess what: "Alienated").
The #PRWORA "Right to work" regime eradicated much of our ability to work by removing the protection from violent partners then forcing us into frequent and ongoing dealings with them around the Family Courts (Behavioral Modification Labs and Public/Private ATMS) .. Talk about "disenfranchised" and income stratification....
(#WelfareDeform USA and earlier no-fault divorce est in place to divert cases into civil from the criminal (remove "Cause" as a basis for divorce) and all that, like late 1960s.
Promote massive adoption and continue stigmatizing through media messaging (that's the #HMRF part) single mothers.. Pay nonprofit executives a LOT to stay on that bandwagon. Etc.... But keep up the pretense of concern for violence against women. Federal/State (USA) dichotomies...
The answers really do lie in the financing. It's hard to stomach/face the level of betrayal and censorship involved in the helping area. SOme real help does occur, of course, but once you start looking into the details of the business filings and noncompliant nonprofits that continue being rewarded for NOT complying -- It's a different world, and definitely different perspective!

Still relevant, quid-pro-quo internat'l collegial relationships (esp. as shown through journals) bear fruit.
For example, If you noticed @PADVint (June, 2024 conference) to take the "Let's not talk about economic infrastructure or the role of networked nonprofits, such as #AFCC #NCJFCJ + the privatized but federally funded #DVOrgs thing global.
I have all along been giving background of participants and certain journal articles.
I've done this both housed and unhoused (no long-term lease, sometimes have to move three times in one week. I did just last week...)
This writing is still relevant. I've seen far off quid-pro-quo internat'l collegial relationships (esp. as shown through journals) bear fruit. Following entities more than personalities does this; talking infrastructure and public/private interfaces (in funding and who owns/runs what terms) as they constantly evolve, provids some advance alert.
If you noticed @PADVint (June, 2024 conference) to take the "Let's not talk about economic infrastructure or the role of networked nonprofits, such as _____" thing global..
Two images are from the 2012 blog post, Look at the use of High Conflict (one key to marketing is repetition right?).
May be entertaining, especially to see it in their own words. On the right, just a short quote, I saw "High Conflict" used nine times in just one promo.
On another entire blog I had a post on Connecticut's High-Conflict Court Docket. (That home page display, a lot of purple, 3rd image here):wp.me/psBXH-14I wp.me/psBXH-dEA wp.me/psBXN-e1z
3/ "...But for now I just wanted to post, as I've been scrolling through both of those Show-and-Tell exposes, this part:

I want you to see the journal in question:
"The manipulation isn’t easy to see unless you’ve developed and maintained the habit of following the entities, professional personalities, and branding permutations with some basic awareness of where each one (historically) is coming from and heading towards.

"📌Introduction to the Special Issue, Journal of Social Welfare and Family Law, Volume 42, No. 1, by Elizabeth Sheehy & #SimonLapierrePhD (2020)
"Journal Aim and Scope
"The Journal of Social Welfare & Family Law presents research and analysis of social welfare, family law and policy issues ✅from a UK, European and international perspective.
"The Journal provides an ✅interdisciplinary forum to which 📌academics and professionals working in the fields of 📌social welfare and family law can turn to for information, comment and informed debate."
Of course it does. Let's keep that #ArguingPAS (Ignoring the Financials, etc.) going. Notice "Academics and Professionals" (in the field). IF You're going to run RCT social engineering programs large-scale and long-term, SOMEONE has to get in there and keep the human material to be discussed academically flowing. That would be distressed children vulnerable families angry Moms, angry Dads, almost anything within the scope of a human life span, and how to better manage it... [no apologies for the sarcasm...]
You need a constant flow of lab rats. Exposing the origins and blueprints of the #FamilyCourts USA or UK as having little to NOTHING to do with "Keeping Children Safe" would make FIXING those courts obsolete as a profession. Wouldn't it!!
Meanwhile Taylor & Francis Informa UK, at least when this was published).. gets the income and retains its disclaimers (shown below)
This thread wasn't carefully prepared (you noticed, eh? I put out an APB to expect it this season), but I mostly wanted to get the next screenshot and its attachment out. ... For now//LGH:LawAndSociety.org wp.me/psBXH_dEA
1. Shorter sentences. ALL the time, unless I’m on a sarcastic rant. (IT’ll pass). Just finished reading through one or my own posts which I’d reposted in pieces. It was readable, BUT, not enough short sentences. I do have some short mottos.
It’s a challenge, because I also think in long sentences, then feel I have to explain/define/qualify all sorts of situations, are that so many basic definitions just aren’t commonplace.
Resolutions 2:
. (“Justice Innovations, Inc.”)
I communicated privately re: this and pulled up a number of earlier blog posts on the PROJECT which is now a “PERSON”
Publicize the switch from Public/Private Project with nearly 800 [752] workers and staff in about 31? Sites in NYC, to, somehow, and almost overnight, a single nonprofit (operating under a dba) which had NO revenues to report in its first year of operation, and hasn’t (at least on the IRS) displayed a single full-sized IRS tax return.
And the website is insulting oversimplified, especially to anyone familiar with the previous scope of operations and complexity of the same.
What are all the websites previously referring to “Center for COurt Innovation” going to do — because its intentional scope (as the PROJECT before it became a PERSON (in the form of a nonprofit corporation) — have all the webmasters edit the labels to the link? I mean, the closed-down project can do some website redirects (and I see have already), but the link labels are now all outdated.
Kind of like the question: Are all those little twitter icons which used to lead to “Twitter” but now go to X going to be updated? Think about how many there would be.
(First two screenshots just show how the topic came up again; third is its “ABOUT” page (not the pretty colors and graphics — maybe we’ll forget ALL about that this might be a corporation, a tax-exempt one, which has some assets, revenues, probably employees, and an agenda…. MAYBE we’ll forget how the same name used to refer to a major (major, major MAJOR) operation out of NYC (which I’d seen propagating ideas on how to respond to DV, what kinds of courts to create, HOW people were flown in or out to figure out how to set up new courts in THEIR state (or country) and so forth. Keywords: #FordFndtn. Fund for the City of New York. Etc.
Obviously 4 images isn’t the whole story. I just want to tell this story, in brief, if possible, soon.InnovatingJustice.org
(“Not the pretty…” should be “Note the pretty…” — it’s late. I missed a letter…)
Not looking at this whole thread right now, but responding to this piece if it, last para.:
FamilyCourts are operations of either a Superior Court, or in many states, a Family Court division or domestic relations division, so they are not their own entities .
& you need to see how they were set up, who set them up & what that financial motivation was… and Getting it right not just speculating
which means a lot of quoting government sources— and we need to look at how the USA handles its tax receipts and talks to its citizens.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Throughout my blogging and reading, and that’s over a span of now 13 years, the evidence of constant undermining of jurisdiction within this country between the federal and the states, has been a constant.
An older but still relevant post.

(These are just the tags for that post…) Notice: “how many fiscal agents does it take to solve a problem or (not) set up a nonprofit?”
Anyone who I haven’t blocked (and I rarely block anyone) can now see how little time, and how easy, it is to get “blocked,” and on what “claimed” basis. You can also see the group dynamic.
This is outrageous, how academics respond to criticism or even information not run by them for collaborative-enough tone, and then try to convince other (I’m one) DV survivor, or FamilyCourtGauntlet individuals they care about us — so if you don’t agree, just Shut Up,please?… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
3/ Dr Hussein never even responded to me. She obviously doesn’t want my input.
