FAA Still Has to Rule on Micro Drone and Line of Sight Issues – Law and Taxation: See the Forest and the Trees

Having done good work with recently finalized Part 107 drone regulations, the FAA should now move forward with rules for those who want to pilot micro drones (under 4.4 pounds) by reviewing the micro-UAS ARC report dated April 1, 2016, and also for those who want to pilot drones beyond visual line of sight, or at night – these are major issues for those who want to use drones in agriculture, land delivery, and ship-to-shore delivery services.

AU Business School among Princeton Review’s 2017 ‘Best’

Alfred University’s School of Business has been included in a new survey by The Princeton Review of the best business schools in the U.S. AU is featured in The Review’s 2017 edition of The Best 294 Business Schools.

“We chose the 294 schools in this book based on our high regard for their academics and our assessment of institutional data we collect from the schools,” Robert Franek, Princeton Review Senior Vice President/Publisher said this week in announcing the new edition.

The Princeton Review developed its review of best business schools in part through a survey of 25,000 students attending business schools in the U.S. The survey asked the students about their school's academics, student body, and campus life as well as about themselves and their career plans.

AU’s School of Business drew particular praise for its “intimate environment,” interaction between students and professors, and support services such as the Robert R. McComsey Career Development Center, according to Franek.
