| CLC-SCSU pact opens door for psychology degree Posted: 07 Jul 2010 07:00 AM PDT "The focus of this arrangement is to provide students in the Brainerd area with an opportunity to earn a four-year degree in community psychology," John Burgeson, dean of the Center for Continuing Studies at St. Cloud State, said in an e-mail. As part of the agreement, the one-hour lab portion of an online St. Cloud State psychology course will be offered at CLC starting with the fall semester Aug. 23. CLC, the community and technical college in Brainerd and Staples, on Wednesday mornings will host the lab for applying psychology. Four credits will count toward the university's community psychology bachelor of science degree. Suresh Tiwari, CLC vice president of academic and student services, in an e-mail said, "The agreement fits with our strategic plan that moves us toward more of a university center concept, offering more upper division college courses here." CLC partnerships prepare graduates with the associate in arts degree for their junior and senior years at the traditional four-year institutions. Psychology majors graduate to careers as psychologists, counselors, behavior analysts, case workers, human resource directors, social services directors and other professions involving human behavior. The curriculum aligning CLC and SCSU was developed through transfer guideposts established to equip students to transcend individual differences and the inevitable changes affecting life in the 21st century. CLC has already partnered with the College of St. Scholastica and Bemidji State University.

| Human rights group wants Wright State psychology dean’s license revoked Posted: 07 Jul 2010 12:35 PM PDT

COLUMBUS — A human rights group has asked the Ohio Board of Psychology to revoke the license of Larry James, dean of the school of professional psychology at Wright State University and a retired Army psychologist, for his alleged involvement in the abuse of detainees during his time at Guantanamo Bay. The 54-page complaint was filed Wednesday, July 7, in Columbus by the Human Rights Program at Harvard Law School on behalf of four complainants, including Trudy Bond, a Toledo psychologist who has filed similar complaints against James both in Ohio and his native state of Louisiana. The complaint alleges that James turned a blind eye to abusive interrogation techniques while he was the team commander for psychologists at Gitmo and used his training to aid and justify the abuse. His alleged offenses included tipping off interrogators about prisoners' phobias. James could not be reached for comment Wednesday afternoon but has said repeatedly that he never witnessed abuse of detainees involving health care professionals during his time at Gitmo and that the worst abuses there, including waterboarding and stripping detainees, occurred in 2002 before his two stints in 2003 and 2007-2008. Bonds' earlier complaint filed with the Ohio licensing board in July 2008 was dismissed without an investigation against James. The Louisiana Board of Examiners also declined to investigate a similar complaint Bond filed against James last year. Bonds' attorney, Linn Freedman of Nixon Peabody of Providence, R.I., appealed to the Louisiana State Court of Appeals, which said in June it couldn't review the case because the examining board had not made a formal decision to review. Bond and her attorney have until Friday to decide whether to take the case to the Louisiana Supreme Court. Bond said the complaint filed Wednesday in Columbus contains new evidence against James, both from classified documents obtained by the American Civil Liberties Union and from James' own book about his time at Gitmo, Fixing Hell, which was published last year.
