...State the administrative agency which controls the regulation. Explain why this agency and your proposed regulation interests you (briefly). Will this proposed regulation affect you or the business in which you are working? If so, how? In the midst of a weakened global economy cause largely by an avoidable housing crisis, financial regulations inevitably have an impact on us all. Decisions made by agencies such as the Department of Treasury, Federal Reserve, Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection, and the Federal Housing Finance Agency have the power to directly impact our daily lives much more than other agencies which is essentially the reason for my interest in such a regulation. Also, as a young American looking to own a home in the near future, this regulation has the ability to impact my ability to obtain financing. Beyond merely being a part of the American dream, home buying and the housing market is an essential part of every society’s economy. Describe the proposal/change. Nearly 4 decades after being established the Trust in Lending Act (TILA) also commonly referred to as regulation Z has undergone a number of amendments. The most current changes are to make the guidelines in which a consumer secures credit for the purchase of a home stricter. The change comes as a result of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act which was signed into law on July 21, 2010. The act provides strict guidelines to creditors extending credit to consumers of...

...Regulation: As the proposed rule updates the provisions of existing regulation, changes are as follows: 1. 45 CFR part 1206, which deals with project suspension and termination, is moved to 45 CFR part 2556, subpart B with most substantive provisions remaining unchanged. Under the proposed rule the provisions for suspension remain unchanged, except that the provisions for summary suspension are eliminated and the provisions for suspension on notice are retained. This has the effect of giving notice to sponsors for all suspensions. Under the proposed rule the provisions for termination remain unchanged,except that a second CNCS review has been eliminated. Experience has shown that a lengthy termination review process is not beneficial to VISTAs at the project in question, unduly consumes the sponsor's staff time and other resources, creates uncertainty for project beneficiaries, and exhausts VISTA resources that could be put to use for the benefit of project beneficiaries. 2. 45 CFR part 1210, which deals chiefly with early termination of a VISTA, is moved to 45 CFR part 2556, subpart E and changed to improve the cost-effectiveness of the provisions and increase efficiency of VISTA program functions. The new provisions for early termination remain substantively the same in many respects. However, the early termination for cause process is modified. While the process retains more than sufficient due process in the form of written notification and appeals at two levels...

...1. To: Teddy’s Supplies’ CEO From: Stephanie Oco, Consultant Subject: Review & potential liabilities resulting from Virginia Pollard’s claim. The CEO of Teddy’s Supplies regarding the case that has been brought against the company by former employee, Virginia Pollard, has requested this review. I will be reviewing the case to determine if Teddy’s has any liability issues and what specific facts are relevant. There are several factors that are at play that would make Teddy’s legally liable: 1. Virginia Pollard is claiming to be a victim of “gender based harassment” while being the only female employee holding a position within the warehouse department. The harassment, taunting and pranks played by fellow co-workers was not reported to her supervisor due to the fact that Mr. King, too participated and permeated the behavior. 2. Although, Ms. Pollard did not file a formal complaint against her co-workers or supervisor she may have felt threatened by the behavior of her direct supervisor Mr. King, when attempting to report the incidents he responded in a tone that was unprofessional in nature and quite frankly made statements that furthered the harassment and hostile environment. 3. The company is not safeguarded by it’s current sexual harassment policy and fails to provide employees with proper avenues to report sexual harassment, quid quo pro, or any conduct that creates a hostile work environment which in turn leaves the company severely liable to future...

...You Decide – Week 6 Question 1. TO: Teddy’s Supplies CEO Date: April 11, 2014 RE: Pollard Sexual Harassment Issue Jim: At your request, I have taken a look at the information that has been collected on the above referenced issue. I offer the following comments and/or suggestions: 1. Pollard was the only female working in the warehouse division of Teddy’s. Several incidents occurred which I will detail below. a. In one incident, Pollard returned to her area to find a co-worker sitting in her chair. She asked him to move. He did not move and proceeded to turn her over his lap and spank her. b. When Pollard approached Steve King to report that she was being targeted he replied “grow some ball” and “get over herself”. c. In one incident, signage was hung on one truck that read “Hardhat Required, Bra Optional”. Pollard was approached and asked to comply. She declined but then lifted the back of her shirt and showed her bra strap. This incident was reported by another employee and Pollard was fired. None of the men were disciplined. Pollard proceeded to filed a sexual harassment lawsuit. New Jersey Commission on Human Right found that her reasons for firing her were “pretext” and awarded her wages and damages. Teddy’s appealed the circuit court stating that Pollard had been guilty of several infractions, including being a participant in the spanking incident. We were also able to show that Pollard did not file a sexual...
