Robert Kaplan (right), Kansas alumnus and former Vice Chairman of The Goldman Sachs Groups, Inc. discusses his experiences in business as well as the fundamentals of leadership and his new book, "What to Ask the Person in the Mirror," with Director of the Dole Institute of Politics Bill Lacy Thursday night. Students were given a free copy of the book with a valid student ID. A question and answer session followed the discussion.
said. "For me restoring the middle class in this country should be job No. 1, I think it's directly related to the unemployment situation and the housing crisis."
Kaplan received a bachelor's degree in accounting from the University and graduated in 1979. After receiving an MBA from Harvard in 1983, Kaplan was hired at Goldman Sachs, Inc., where he served multiple roles, including global co-head of the investment banking division between 1999 and 2002.
Goldman Sachs was among several firms to accept government bailout money in 2008. In July 2011, the firm agreed to pay $550
million to settle fraud charges with the Securities & Exchange Commission.
Bill Lacy, director of the Dole Institute, conducted an open interview with Kaplan. Lacy said that Kaplan's book is a useful tool in developing management skills.
"It's a great opportunity for business students and any students who are interested in leadership concepts and tools to be better leaders," Lacey said.
The University's School of Business and Jewish Business Club cosponsored the event. Lacy said the Dole Institute of Politics financed Kaplan's traveling and lodging expenses.
Warren Buchholtz, a junior from Huntington, N.Y., attended Kaplan's lecture and said he thinks he can use some of Kaplan's leadership advice in his future career.
"It was good to get to hear someone who's had so much experience and success in the field, to hear their point of view on things," he said. "Even if you're not a business student you can apply the idea that you can look not for answers, but to ask right questions it can apply to anything you want to succeed in."

Files of medical records stolen four million people affected
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - The theft of a computer containing information on more than 4 million patients of a major Northern California health care provider may be among the largest breaches of health care data in recent years, but it's far from the only incident of its kind.
Over the last two years, health care organizations have reported 364 incidents involving the loss or theft of information ranging from names and addresses to social security numbers and medical diagnoses on nearly 18 million patients equivalent to the population of Florida.
A thief stole medical information on more than 4 million patients of Sacramento-based Sutter Health last month by the simple act of breaking a window with a rock at the affiliated Sutter Medical Foundation. Stolen over the weekend of Oct. 15 were monitors, keyboards and a desktop computer containing patient information dating to 1995.
Employees reported the theft to Sacramento police when they returned to work that Monday, Oct. 17, said Sgt. Andrew Pettit, though they didn't notify the public until Wednesday, a month later. The company said in announcing the theft Wednesday that some patients might not receive mailed notices until early next month.
to make sure that that doesn't happen." Pettit said.
Police were investigating the burglary as a routine smash-and-grab property theft, he said, and so far there is no indication that the information in the computer has been used.
"If that machine is that valuable, then there should be more security measures where that is protected. There's got to be something in place
Since federal health care data breach notification rules took effect in 2009, Health and Human Services records show that the Sutter theft was exceeded only when the U.S. military's health insurance program lost backup tapes in September containing information on more than 4.9 million patients.
While Sutter said the computer was password-protected, the data on patients was not encrypted, drawing criticism from privacy and computer security experts.
The growth and success of the Center are main focuses of the celebrations, said Anita Herzfeld, director of undergraduate studies at the Center.
The Center for Latin American Studies is celebrating its 50th anniversary this week by hosting a series of lectures that honor the Center and Latin American culture.

establish relationships with universities in Latin America and eventually created the Center for Latin American Studies.
Zach O'Bea, a junior from Leavenworth, said having a Latin American Studies major is very laid back. There is no set curriculum, so students can choose to study whatever aspect of Latin American culture interests them. O'Bea studies the politics of Latin American countries and Portuguese, and hopes to continue this passion after college.
The events on Friday and Saturday include speeches from well-known professors, government officials and business people who are involved with or know a lot about Latin American culture. There are also speakers traveling from Latin American countries to help the center celebrate its anniversary.
"I've always been interested in Latin America and I have a lot of friends who live there," O'Bea said. "My family and I have been to Argentina to visit friends many times, and I wanted a major that would allow me to learn more about the region and hopefully get a job that would let me travel there more."
"A lot of students study Spanish and they don't ever think of getting a degree in Latin American Studies at the same time." Herzfeld said.
Herzfeld said the Center for Latin American Studies offers learning opportunities to many students at the University, even if they don't realize it.
WEEKEND EVENTS
Herzfeld said she hopes the various speeches and celebrations this weekend help promote the Center to students who might not already know about it, and to also recognize the people who started it and the accomplishments of the past 50 years.
"It's also important to promote the idea that a Latin American Studies degree is interdisciplinary, therefore it offers the chance of a lifetime for people to find out something about the cultures

Lincoln High School teacher Heidi Kaeslin is on paid leave while the district investigates whether she violated its code of ethics, The Stockton Record reported.
STOCKTON, Calif. — A high school teacher is under investigation after school officials said she was maintaining a pornographic website from her school-issued laptop computer.
Teacher investigated for pornographic website
The investigation also involves former Stockton police officer Richard Fields, who was assigned to the school as a resource officer. He told the newspaper he
had acquired domain names including
mysluttyteachers.com to develop them
into websites.
Fields said Kaesin's involvement was limited, and he eventually abandoned the venture.
The newspaper reports that one of the websites was active for only one day in February, which could indicate a test run.
Fields said the allegations are overblown. Kaeslin and her attorney declined to comment.
Kaeslin, a special education teacher and former girls soccer coach, has been with the district since 2002. Fields retired from the police department in May. The
two are romantically linked, according to the paper.
Lincoln Unified School District has hired a computer expert to study the content on the laptop.
Chet Quade, an attorney representing the district, said the school adopted an ethics code in 2003.
The code calls for teachers to "adhere to the highest ethical standards" and "to attain and maintain the highest possible degree of ethical conduct," he told the newspaper.
