He teaches business law, government regulation of business, and employment law. His research interests are in employment law and government regulation of business. He has written articles on labor law, discrimination in employment, and contract law.

White has observed many changes in distance education over the last 25 years; however, he notes that some things never change.

"The students today are not much different than when I first started. Students still need the flexibility and personal touches of the UWP distance learning program," says White.

Like the other faculty, White appreciates how technology has enhanced his distance education classes.

"The use of email and online resources offers students a tremendous advantage compared with 20 years ago. Online sources of legal materials balance out the lack of a library for most of my students," says White.
