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.

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. 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. Also if you’ve heard of or run across #ArabellaAdvisors, #NewVentureFund, EricKessler, #ActBlue entities (there are several), CEL (CitizenEducationLab, 501(c)3 & 501(c)4 out of… https://t.co/MBEGWgDDGX https://t.co/7vLxC5kY1Uwp.me/psBXH-7zh twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

(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.
Clare Lavery (@clerotto) kept me on the defensive with a (probably intentional) re-direct, as if I was somehow writing about her, or unfair to put her in the middle. (I’ve seen this tactic before)… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Although this doesn’t seem to be precisely the @NuffieldFJO, it’s coding a good imitation of the general idea. Collecting (recruiting) data for further study and interpretation…
