Recovering from a relatively slow start to the year, due in no small part to the global pandemic, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) Units of the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) closed the year with a bang. With 32 combined FCPA enforcement actions, 51 total cases including ancillary enforcement, and a record-setting $2.78 billion in corporate fines and penalties (plus billions more collected by foreign regulators), 2020 marks another robust year in the annals of FCPA enforcement.

Data you can obviously use. but it's not the only factor. but it would be folly not to use that empirical data at your disposal. what you have is a synthesis of data. not relying solely on test scores. you need to be able to effect equal educational opportunity for all people and it needs to be based on objective evidence of learning. >> there is so much more. unfortunately, i do have to let you both go. or else this will be all that happens. >> right now, it's based upon test scores. that's what the california case was based on. >> yeah. i think we are going to have to revisit this. i do appr...
