The IRS is outgunned when trying to ensure compliance by large corporations and other sophisticated taxpayers, but the private sector might be able to help. This talk argues for using a private sector party—tax insurers—to expand the IRS's enforcement abilities. Tax insurance is just insurance: If an insured tax position is successfully challenged by a tax authority, the insurer commits to paying the additional taxes owed (plus interest and penalties), up to the policy limit. This talk proposes that the IRS take advantage of insurers' informational and capacity advantages by effectively deputizing insurers as private sector tax enforcers, treating the positions they insure as having been "sustained" in a private "audit." With the right combination of sticks and carrots, private sector tax enforcers could be incentivized to live up to their commitment to "sustain" only strong positions, and taxpayers could be incentivized to pursue "audits" by private sector tax enforcers that live up to those commitments. The talk also identifies the potential concerns the proposal would need to overcome to harness a growing private sector industry for the public good. Recommended Reading: Heather M. Field, Tax Enforcement by the Private Sector: Deputizing Tax Insurers, 99 Ind. L.J. 1179 (2024).

BLOOM: Undergraduate Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) This group is a space created for female Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) - identifying students to cultivate vulnerability, safety, trust, connection, and growth.

General body meeting for the intercultural greek council. 

THE MOORS By Jen Silverman Directed by Kristen Palmer Oct 10-20, 2024 Nafe Katter Theatre It's 1840(-ish). Two spinster sisters, a maid (or is it two maids?) and a melancholy mastiff live out their lives on the bleak English moors, dreaming of love and power. The arrival of a fresh-faced governess (through the door) and a moor-hen (out of the sky) sets them on a strange, dangerous path. Part Brontë satire, part Gothic thriller, part feminist rock musical, The Moors is a wholly delicious anachronistic comedy about desperation, love, and our desire to be seen for who we truly are. Directed by Kristen Palmer. "Gorgeously dark, chillingly funny, and a real treat for any Brontë fans. — West End Best Friend
