- The USIP is now headed by a 28-year-old, per a federal court filing.
- DOGE named Nate Cavanaugh, a tech entrepreneur and college dropout, as the USIP’s acting president.
- Lawyers for the USIP said nearly all of the institute’s staff in the US have been fired.
The person in charge of USIP should be a person not only with a relevant advanced degree, but also at least couple decades of experience in international diplomacy. A 28 year-old hasn’t been on earth long enough to even sort-of have the expertise required, even if we could charitably assume they chose a once in a generation child genius who got 2 PhDs by 16.
So, is this kid taking the full funding of usip and pocketing it or is his salary like $130k? Also, are we pretending the agency still exists, or what?
Mediation is about being the dumbest person in the room. You bring the parties together and let them come to an agreement. You are meerly a facilitator.
I did a mediation workshop a few years ago and that is verbatim what the attourney that runs the organization said. Your job is to act as a neutral third party and ask questions like why are we here? What would you like to accomplish? Can you tell me more about that? And etc. Usually disputes come down to one or both parties not knowing what the other knows. Even if you can see what the iasue is, it is not your job to tell them, but to come to conclusions on their own because you don’t know the full scope of the issues.
Mediation is different than arbitration in that mediators don’t make a determination.

Lol, no.
That sounds like a terrible way to facilitate anything other than making the conflict worse.
