Dr. Sid Williams Steps Down

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

After several meetings and conference calls by the Life University Board of Trustees, Life's founder and president, Dr. Sid Williams, has reportedly stepped down. Evidence suggests that his wife, Dr. Nell Williams (senior vice president and dean of student affairs), and his daughter, Dr. Kim Williams, an administrative assistant, have also resigned. Dr. Williams originally announced he would retire in March 2003, after a search for a new president was completed.

The board of trustees is expected to soon appoint an interim president. The primary task facing the new president will be to address Life's loss of CCE accreditation. Among Life's options are a formal appeal of the loss of accreditation (the deadline is July 10, 2002), and a "teach out" of the Life chiropractic students by another accredited chiropractic college.

Court Rules Against No-Fault Insurers - Again

New York's highest court of appeals has held that no-fault insurers cannot deny no-fault benefits where they unilaterally determine that a provider has committed misconduct based upon alleged fraudulent conduct. The Court held that this authority belongs solely to state regulators, specifically New York's Board of Regents, which oversees professional licensing and discipline. This follows a similar recent ruling in Florida reported in this publication.

Gaze Stabilization: Clinical Relevance for DCs

Keeping our eyes smoothly focused while moving is no simple task because even the simple act of running produces head velocities in excess of 550° per second with head accelerations up to 6,000° per second. Failure to properly stabilize our eyes to compensate for rapid head motion could allow our eyes to over- or undershoot specific targets, which can result in blurred vision, nausea, impaired balance, and a greatly increased risk of falling.
