Liberty University Receives Boeing Grant for DC-8 Overlook Project

Liberty University has been awarded a grant from Boeing to support the construction of a public pavilion at the planned DC-8 Overlook at Preston Glenn Field at Lynchburg Regional Airport. The DC-8 aircraft, donated by Samaritan’s Purse, was the last flying U.S.-registered DC-8 before its retirement in December after over 60 years of service and nearly a decade of global relief missions. This historic aircraft will become the centerpiece of an aviation STEM and workforce-development destination. The pavilion will serve as the educational hub of the DC-8 Overlook experience, offering events, programming, interpretive exhibits, and hands-on STEM learning modules related to aviation careers such as pilot, technician, air traffic control, military aviation, and Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS).

Puerto Rico's Fiscal Crisis: A Public Administration Challenge Beyond Debt

Puerto Rico's Fiscal Crisis: A Public Administration Challenge Beyond Debt

Puerto Rico's fiscal crisis, often framed as a debt problem, is fundamentally a public administration challenge, according to Jan Manuel Cubero Jiménez. While fiscal discipline is crucial, the focus on budget cuts and debt restructuring, as mandated by the PROMESA Act and the Financial Oversight and Management Board, has overlooked the critical need to strengthen public administration. Austerity measures can erode the government's capacity to deliver essential services by leading to the loss of experienced personnel, delayed infrastructure improvements, reduced program quality, and less responsive agencies. The author argues that a government can balance its budget while simultaneously weakening its ability to serve its citizens, emphasizing that fiscal review must be more comprehensive, considering the impact on services, communities, and agency capacity.
