Three Awarded Fulbright Grants

Three University of California, Davis, scholars have been awarded Fulbright Scholar Grants for 1995-96 to research topics of their specific interest overseas. Floyd F. Feeney, professor at the School of Law, is currently conducting research at the University of Augsburg in Germany for 10 months. His research focuses on a comparison of German and American procedures in the initiation of criminal prosecution. Feeney will return in July 1996. Harold N. Glasser, a recent doctoral graduate from the applied science department, will be lecturing and conducting research encompassing ecophilosophy and environmental ethics as they relate to the "deep ecology" approach to environmental policy analysis. He will work at the University of Oslo in Norway for five months, beginning in January 1996. Michael B. Salerno, a visiting professor at the School of Law, is currently spending four months in Italy conducting a comparative analysis of U.S. and Italian law as it relates to the regulation of financial interests of elected public officials. He will divide his time between the University of Bologna and the University of Florence through February 1996. The Fulbright program, launched in 1946 under legislation by former Sen. J. William Fulbright, is designed to heighten understanding between people of the United States and other nations. Recipients are selected on the basis of academic and professional qualifications, as well as their ability to share ideas and experiences with people in other countries.
