gastric motility. the spontaneous peristaltic movements of the stomach that aid in digestion, moving food through the stomach and out through the pyloric sphincter into the duodenum. Excess gastric motility causes pain that is usually treated with antispasmodic medication.
After Scandals, U. of Miami Gets a Top Compliance Officer. Rudolph H. Green, who directed university compliance at the University of Texas at Austin, is facing another Texas-size challenge. Last month he became the first vice president and chief compliance officer at the University of Miami, where athletics, health care, and research have all been under scrutiny lately. The university in Florida is one of relatively few major institutions where one compliance officer oversees so many highly regulated areas.
Sometimes the very nature of the industry, like the highly-regulated healthcare and finance sectors, has helped elevate the role of chief compliance officer. In fact, the experience of the healthcare and the financial industries in particular has helped compliance officers across the board carve out their own territory from general counsel, separate from and often equal to their legal department counterparts.
