TL;DR: In this article, student power in six high schools with innovative governance structures is examined and the structural aspects of their governance are examined, and it is found that a clear and comprehensive formal mechanism is most successful when supported by an open, active network of honest and respectful informal relationships.
Abstract: This paper focuses on student power in six high schools with innovative governance structures. Following brief descriptions of these six schools, we examine structural aspects of their governance and find that a clear and comprehensive formal mechanism is most successful when supported by an open, active network of honest and respectful informal relationships. We also suggest that student power in governance is not possible without student power over classroom and instructional processes.Various barriers to effective student participation are discussed: students' prior socialization to depend on adult authorities; their lack of political skill training; teachers' abdication of their responsibilities to teach and guide; their premature hands-off policy vis-a-vis student behavior in governance functions; and the creation by adults of school structures and processes most comfortable for adults and thus easier to dominate. Finally, we suggest that planning, training, evaluating, and sharing data are vital asp...

TL;DR: Leslie et al. as mentioned in this paper conducted a survey of faculty perceptions of the legitimacy of govern ance uncovered complex patterns that varied with the issue in volved, with the type of institution involved, and across institutions within some types.
Abstract: This survey of faculty perceptions of the legitimacy of govern ance uncovered complex patterns that varied with the issue in volved, with the type of institution involved, and across institutions within some types. Perceived legitimacy of governance does not appear to be an all-or-nothing proposition, but one which varies with specific conditions of governance on specific issues at specific institutions.

TL;DR: A review of the literature shows that several financial analysts and accountants have proposed including financial information relating to the future plans and goals of the firm (Projected Financial Information) in published corporate annual reports.
Abstract: A primary objective of published corporate annual reports is to provide adequate disclosure of financial in formation to the users of the reports. Such information is necessary for the proper evaluation of management's performance and for the making of investment decisions. Some financial analysts and accountants believe that a major weakness of financial reporting in published corporate annual reports is due to its orientation to past economic activity. They feel that the changing needs of the external users of corporate reports are not being satisfied as these reports largely omit financial information relating to the future plans and goals of the firms which is relevant for investment decision making. A review of the literature shows that several financial analysts and accountants have proposed including financial information relating to the future plans and goals of the firm (Projected Financial Information) in published corporate annual reports. This study dealt with such a proposal. More specifically, it's purposes were:
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that an increase in the rate of business income taxation would raise the business investment to the extent that capital-goods prices are expected to rise and there is a high present value to each dollar of depreciation applied for tax purposes.
Abstract: Given a wealth-maximization model, even a permanent change in the rate of business taxation has no unique direction of effect on business investment. By applying formulations of Jorgenson, Hall and Jorgenson, and Coen, it can be shown that an increase in the rate of business income taxation would raise the rate of business investment to the extent that capital-goods prices are expected to rise and there is a high present value to each dollar of depreciation applied for tax purposes. It seems quite possible, with recent inflation and the major liberalization of tax depreciation over the last two decades, that these conditions were being met.
