This text provides a concise and authoritative account of why the Catholic Church provides schools and what constitutes the Catholic ethos of a Catholic school. It further clarifies the Church's requirement that those holding key posts in Catholic schools should be practising Catholics, and explains what that means. This is a clear, systematic document which will help many people, including Catholic teachers, parents, and governors as well as non-Catholic educationalists and government officials, to understand the mission of Catholic schools. The questions examined include: What are the fundamental characteristics of a Catholic School? How do these make Catholic schools distinctive? Who are Catholic schools provided for? What is a Catholic school's ethos? What does the term 'practising Catholic' refer to when applied to key school posts? What are the requirements for appointments to key school posts?

The increase in leveraged buyouts (LBO) of U.S. companies by private equity funds prior to mid-2007 has raised questions about the potential impact of these deals. Some praise LBOs for creating new governance structures for companies and providing longer term investment opportunities for investors. Others criticize LBOs for causing job losses and burdening companies with too much debt. This report addresses the: (1) effect of recent private equity LBOs on acquired companies and employment; (2) impact of LBOs jointly undertaken by two or more private equity funds on competition; (3) SEC¿s oversight of private equity funds and their advisers; and (4) regulatory oversight of commercial and investment banks that have financed recent LBOs.
