Administrative Compensation for Military Harassment and Sexual Assault: A Win-Win for Victims and the Military
Gwendolyn Savitz, University of Tulsa College of Law
Advocates have fought for decades to overturn the Feres doctrine to allow victims to sue the government in court. The military has countered that it must retain control over all issues involving discipline. However, the military lacks the information necessary to be able to take effective action against those who harm others because many victims are afraid to come forward for fear of retaliation. This Article offers a way to solve both problems. It proposes creating an administrative process to compensate victims for the harm they endured while simultaneously providing an incentive for them to report the initial crime, as well as any retaliation they experience, thereby finally providing the military with the critical information it needs to act, which it is unable to ob- tain any other way.

Benjamin M. Barczewski, Visiting Assistant Professor, University of Maryland, Francis King Carey School of Law
This Article argues that one reason Americans remain so distrust- ful of their own government, despite the astounding advancement of the administrative state’s technical and scientific abilities, is that technocratic justifications deny virtually any role for democratically determined moral judgments in administrative rulemaking and mask the part those moral judgment do play.
The Propriety of Incorporating Enforcement Staff Declination Statements into the NCAA Infractions Process Following Bylaw 11.1.1.1 Head Coach Responsibilities Investigations
Joshua Lens, J.D., Assistant Professor of Recreation and Sport Management at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville
This Article contends that, for many of the reasons prosecutorial declina- tion statements are beneficial in certain situations, the NCAA should release information about situations in which it investigates a head coach for viola- tions in the coach’s program and concludes that it will not hold the head coach responsible for them because the coach’s actions rebutted the presumption of responsibility. Head coaches—and other college athletics constituents—could learn so much from these situations involving their peers.
