Abstract:
Serving in the General Assembly has almost become a full-time job, with sessions becoming longer and more demanding. The average citizen with a regular job finds it difficult to serve. While raising salaries and setting shorter sessions may help, the State must decide between having a full-time, professional legislature or a part-time citizen one.

Abstract:
A political crisis developed in North Carolina in the 1890s with the formation of the Populist Party, a combination of disgruntled farmers, blacks, and whites. Populists voted for Republicans supportive of their needs and helped them capture the legislature in 1894 and the governorship in 1896. Democrats turned to racism in order to recapture power in 1900. To insure they would stay in power, Democrats passed a constitutional amendment disenfranchising blacks.

Abstract:
John Davis is the executive director of the Raleigh-based North Carolina Forum for Research and Economic Education (NCFREE). The organization was created in 1983 by a large cross-section of business leaders and lawyers. Davis was hired the same year. The founders wanted to understand the political process in the state, who the people were that ran for, or held office, how they voted, who backed them, and what underlying trends might change the state's political dynamics. The results of Davis's work are published in THE ALAMANAC OF NORTH CAROLINA POLITICS, which is often called the bible of North Carolina politics. Davis rates highly for his political insight, information gathering, and ability to forecast trends.

Abstract:
The executive MBA is a unique program for executives and business leaders who choose to continue their education. The program usually has year-round instruction which allows participants to continue working while earning a degree. This type of program is a “cohort program,” or one in which participants attend courses for a specified period of time with the same group of people. Knowland summarizes this program at four universities--Duke, Queens, UNC-Chapel Hill, and Wake Forest.
