Cumming, Scott
The common-law “apparent consent” standard has been criticized for allowing offenders to escape liability for sexual assault when the victim was too intoxicated or scared to say “no.” This Comment analyzes how Oregon’s “abuse of a vulnerable person” statute could apply to such cases—namely, civil cases in which the plaintiff was sexually assaulted by an acquaintance, and she was unable to express her nonconsent or consciously perceive the assault, due to intoxication or underlying trauma (i.e., “date rape” cases).

Gore, Abigail
Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) have, until very recently, largely escaped public scrutiny or possibly even public consciousness. Although relatively unknown to the average American healthcare consumer, specialized healthcare companies known as PBMs play a direct role in negotiatinegotiating pharmaceutical drug prices for more than 266 million Americans. Rising pharmaceutical costs, on the other hand, invaded the public consciousness in 2016 when a dramatic increase in the price of pharmaceutical company Mylan’s EpiPen sparked outrage across the country.

Briggs, Geoffrey
All of Oregon’s public community colleges and universities have established some form of public safety regime. But interestingly, whereas Oregon’s universities are statutorily empowered to create and operate campus police departments, the state’s community colleges have not been similarly empowered. Although it is clear enough that Oregon law does not grant the power to create campus police departments at the state’s community colleges, it is anything but clear precisely what sort of campus safety powers the law does grant to its colleges.

Gelband, Cate
Undercapitalization jeopardizes a business’s likelihood of survival. Sufficient capital at start-up and throughout operation is critical to a business’s success. Therefore, creating greater access to capital generates greater economic prosperity. Despite the importance of women-owned businesses to the economy, women-owned businesses are more likely than men-owned businesses to be undercapitalized. As such, women-owned businesses are less likely to realize the economic success of their male counterparts.
