PPA 403 Week 1 DQ 1 Values in Administrative Law
(Ash)

• Values in Administrative Law. In the study of
  administrative law it is useful to differentiate
  the major values that drive administrative
  policies. These include (a) promoting personal
  safety, (b) assuring social and economic justice,
  and (c) reallocating wealth. Think of an agency
  or program in government that illustrates each of
  these values and offer it in this discussion.
  Where, for example, does OSHAs regulation of
  toxic substances in the workplace fit in this
  scheme? Which of these values figure into the
  government programs in the three cases in Chapter
  2 of your text? Respond to at least two of your
  classmates postings.

PPA 403 Week 1 DQ 2 The Federal Register (Ash)

• The Federal Register. As you read in Chapter 1 of
  your text, the federal bureaucracy issues
  thousands of administrative rules and policy
  statements each year. Visit The Office of the
  Federal Register online to view a recent Federal
  Register (the document in which agency actions
  are published) and go through the online
  tutorial. For this discussion, select an item
  posted in the Federal Register you have reviewed,
  then offer a summary and explain how it
  represents qualities of improving public safety,
  correcting a free market failure, or correcting
  inefficiency in an administrative process.
  Respond to at least two of your classmates
  postings.

PPA 403 Week 1 Quiz (Ash)

• 1.Question
• In our democratic system we expect that
  government justify its uses of power in terms of
  legal rules and procedures.

• The Administrative Procedure Act (APA)
  effectively judicialized all administrative
  action without exception.
• 3.Question
• There are six (6) regional U.S. Courts of Appeals
  or circuit courts which hear most of the appeals

6
PPA 403 Week 2 DQ 1 Constitutional Limits on
Agencies (Ash)

• Constitutional Limits on Agencies. There are
  several constitutional limitations on government
  agency power in order to protect and preserve
  individual rights. Let us consider two of these
  the freedom to contract and private property
  rights. Citing the text, respond to the following
  question How is thefreedom of contract
  limitation on regulatory power under the due
  process clause both similar and different from
  the takings clause limitation on regulatory
  power? Respond to at least two of your
  classmates postings.

7
PPA 403 Week 2 DQ 2 Public Access to Information
(Ash)

• Public Access to Information. Public access to
  information and sunshine laws should be
  considered in all communication by all public
  servants (whether you are a line staff member or
  agency director). Technology adds another
  dimension to what is covered under administrative
  law in this area. E-mail correspondence can be
  requested under the freedom of information laws.
  Should e-mail communication among government
  officials also have to comply with sunshine laws?
  According to most sunshine laws, officials cannot
  meet to discuss public business without notifying
  the public of the meeting in advance.

8
PPA 403 Week 2 Quiz (Ash)

• 1.Question
• The Courts ruling in the Chevron case
  established an active role for the Courts in
  interpreting statute with the goal of superseding
  agency interpretation.
• 2.Question
• The Freedom of Information Act is the most
  significant law for expanding access to
  information about the government.

PPA 403 Week 3 DQ 1 Bias in Administrative Law
(Ash)

• Bias in Administrative Law. The issue of bias is
  an important consideration in administrative
  agencies and judicial hearings. Discuss whether
  it is ethical for a judge to have personal ties
  with someone about whom they will be making a
  legal decision. Consider the following questions
  in your response Does professionalism offer
  adequate checks and balances against bias in
  decision making? Should judges recuse themselves
  from decisions involving people with whom they
  have a personal relationship?

10
PPA 403 Week 3 DQ 2 Rulemaking in Practice (Ash)

• Rulemaking in Practice. Investigate and report on
  the rulemaking process for a government agency in
  your state. To get started, select a state agency
  (for example, one could look at the website for
  the Arizona Department of Health Services. You
  can access agency websites through a simple
  Google search or through your state government
  webpage). Then, search rulemaking or rules to
  find out about their process. As we know from the
  Federal Register activity in Week 1, publishing
  information online is an important means through
  which public agencies inform citizens of their
  activities.

11
PPA 403 Week 3 Quiz (Ash)

• 1.Question
• Both the federal government and state governments
  must afford citizens due process of law.

• Timely and adequate notice to potentially
  affected parties is necessary for fair
  administrative hearings.

12
PPA 403 Week 3 The Continuum of Legal Formality
(Ash)

• The Continuum of Legal Formality. There are a
  range of administrative procedures available to
  public administrators to handle administrative
  law issues. Administrators may accomplish tasks
  through informal procedures or they may conduct
  formal hearings. Statute may determine which
  procedures must be followed, or it may be up to
  the administrators discretion. In a two to
  three-page paper, discuss the main points along
  the continuum of legal formality (for an
  illustration see Appendix A, page 431 in the
  text) as well as the advantages and disadvantages
  of the levels of formality (or informality).
  Offer examples and cite the text to support your
  points. Use APA style as outlined in the approved
  APA style guide to document all sources.

13
PPA 403 Week 4 DQ 1 Administrative Enforcement
Tools (Ash)

• Administrative Enforcement Tools. Find an example
  of an administrative sanction (such as a fine or
  revocation of license) that has been imposed on a
  business or individual for noncompliance by a
  government agency from a government report, news
  article, or other reputable source. Offer a
  summary of the situation and explain how the
  sanction fits in with the categories offered in
  the APA, how it fits in (or is counter to) the
  material in the text, and the outcome, if
  available. Respond to at least two of your
  classmates postings.

14
PPA 403 Week 4 DQ 2 Judicial Review (Ash)

• Judicial Review. Citing the text, discuss the
  rationale for judicial review and the judiciarys
  role in checking and balancing the power of the

  result only from proceedings in the regular
  courts, not directly from an administrative
  order.
• 2.Question
• Enforcement is the last step for an agency to
  achieve its policy goals.
• 3.Question
• No options other than formal adjudication exist
  for administrative enforcement.

16
PPA 403 Week 5 DQ 1 Affirmative Action Policies
(Ash)

• Affirmative Action Policies. Affirmative action
  employment policies are often misunderstood. Many
  programs seek no more than to equalize racial or
  sexual balance in employment where occupational
  tests have little or no predictive power on job
  performance. Look-up one or two offices or
  policies of affirmative action and/or equal
  opportunity to see what agencies are doing in
  this area and report on your findings. In your
  response, also consider the following questions
  Is there any legal or moral objection to such
  programs? What principles of justice, if any,
  support such affirmative action policies? How
  might an affirmative action officer shape their
  program to encourage a balanced mix in employment
  without raising claims of reverse discrimination?
  Respond to at least two of your classmates
  postings.

17
PPA 403 Week 5 DQ 2 Privatization and
Administrative Law (Ash)

• Privatization and Administrative Law. In your
  readings issues are raised on the more recent
  debate of privatization (and outsourcing) of
  government activities to private companies.
  Describe what you see as some of the future
  implications of privatization for administrative
  law and public administration. Consider the
  following questions Do you think it is feasible
  or reasonable to expect privatization of
  government activities to maintain the democratic
  ideals we expect? Do you think we should exchange
  some of our democratic expectations for possible
  efficiencies? Do you think some activities are
  better suited for privatization than others in
  light of these challenges? Respond to at least
  two of your classmates postings.

18
PPA 403 Week 5 Final Paper (Ash)
