Making the Right Assessment
Parveen Gupta, associate professor of accounting at Lehigh, was featured in the Ask the Experts column, addressing the following dilemma: An inexperienced audit manager is faced with resolving a dispute between his senior auditor and a key customer. A good internal auditor always bases conclusions on evidence, not on management claims, Gupta advised.

Eating on the Run
Research by Karen Evans Stout, associate professor of educational leadership at Lehigh, continues to be picked up my media outlets across the country, most recently in an article on school lunches that are scheduled too early in the day at Cole Middle School in Denver. Stout says she has never encountered a lunch as early as Cole's. It's too early, she says. If school is over at 2:30, some kids are going 4 1/2 hours without food. They're going to be very hungry at the end of the school day.
