This invited speech was delivered to the Business Law Section of the Dallas Bar Association. The speech addresses why the new UNT Dallas College of Law is being created and why now. The new UNT Dallas College of Law is anticipated to open in August 2014.

Abstract: Application of the laser photolysis–laser-induced fluorescence method to the reaction NH2 + SO2 in argon bath gas yields pressure-dependent, third-order kinetics which may be summarized as 𝑘 = (1.49 ± 0.15) × 10^−31 (𝑇/298 K) − 0.83 cm^6 molecule^−2 s^−1 over 292 – 555 K, where the uncertainty is the 95% confidence interval and includes possible systematic errors.The quenching of vibrationally excited NH2 is consistent with a high-pressure limit for NH2 + SO2 of (1.62 ± 0.25) × 10^−11 cm^3 molecule^−1 s^−1 over the temperature range 295–505 K, where again the 95% confidence interval is shown. Abinitio analysis yields a H2N – SO2 dissociation enthalpy of 73.5 kJmol−1, and comparison with RRKM theory and the exponential down model for energy transfer yields ⟨Δ𝐸⟩down = 350 cm^−1 for Ar at room temperature.

This handout was presented along with a poster that presented the preliminary results from a survey of library employees on their experiences with toxic workplaces in libraries. This handout details the survey questions and the sources used to develop the survey. It was presented at the Electronic Resources & Libraries 2020 conference held in Austin, Texas.

This handout was presented along with a poster that presented the preliminary results from a survey of library employees on their experiences with toxic workplaces in libraries. This handout details signs to look for during interviews and suggested questions to ask to determine if their is a toxic workplace environment.
