The SGLI program is the military life insurance program overseen by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) but managed and administered by The Prudential Insurance Company of America. Recently, a series of news stories by Bloomberg News reported that the program might not be following the law, and that Prudential was profiting from the deaths of servicemen and women. The primary purpose of this paper was to analyze the news articles for factual content and determine whether the journalistic writing style of the author s research distorted the SGLI program. What we found was that Prudential ran the SGLI in a manner that was actually beneficial to both Prudential and policyholders. We also discovered that Bloomberg used a sensationalist journalistic style, which distorted the facts. This would have the effect of misleading the public and casting Prudential in a negative light., MBA Professional Report.

A REPORT FROM BY DESIGN OR DEFAULT? Patrick M. Callan and Joni E. Finney June 1993 INTRODUCTION California public higher education as historically and currently organized, delivered and financed will be unable to accommodate projected enrollment demand over the next 15 years. If our state officials and university administrators continue to ignore this problem by focusing almost solely on budgetary issues, the future of educational opportunity for the citizenry of California is likely to be one of slow erosion. To understand the consequences of California s budgetary problems on higher education, we must move beyond questions about line items and revenue enhancement. Instead, we must ask the kind of question that Robert Reich in The Power of Public Ideas calls the ' salient public question," one that "subsumes the value judgments that declare something to be a problem focuses public atten­tion on the issue, and frames the ensuing debate."1 In relation to California's colleges and universi­ties, we need to broaden and deepen the debate by asking: How should California accommodate the needs of its people for higher education over the next 15 years? It is a broad question and there are no certa in answers for we cannot predict California s needs into the 21st century. California is in the early stages of secular change that will fundamentally trans­form higher education as it transforms the state from an economy based on industry and agriculture to one based on knowledge, and from a state in a national marketplace to a state in a global one. But even though we cannot accurately forecast technological and economic change, we can project the number of probable students and, with less certainty, the approximate costs of higher education enrollment and a range of state revenues. From these projections we know with reasonable assur­ance that state dollars combined with student fees will no longer be sufficient to support projected enrollments. Since the
