HOW MINORITY RECRUITMENT AND ENROLLMENT IS EFFECTIVE ON PREDOMINANTLY WHITE INSTITUTIONS.
INTRODUCTION.
A predominantly white institution refers to an institution of higher learning that mainly comprises of white students and few other races such as African-Americans, Asians and Hispanic. The racial diversity in higher learning institutions across the United States of America is inconsistent since many colleges and campuses tend to be white. Minority and racial recruitment have become significant in general recruitment efforts at many predominantly white institutions. Despite the increased efforts a majority of learning institutions are still unsuccessful in increasing diversity on campus. In predominantly white institutions, it is difficult for foreign students to blend with the white. Most of them are despised, not only by their fellow students but also their teachers. They are never given attention and they are deemed stupid for any concerns they raise in class. This can lead to lower class participation, grades and in some cases even drop outs. This is why it is important for minority students in predominantly white institutions to have a strong support network. We therefore look at look at how minority recruitment and enrollment is now effective on predominantly white institutions.
Some predominantly white institutions have student groups that are dedicated in supporting the foreign students to adjustments. This includes organizations such as Asian Student Association, Black Cultural Society and South Asian Multicultural Organized Students Association. These organizations welcome and support students from other races and also create a network for students to people who remind them of their families. This is essential for a group of students who feel isolated and lack a sense of belonging.
The legal aspect of diversity in higher education system ensures increase in minority groups. The current efforts being made by institutes of higher education to increase diversity on campuses stems from early American segregation. The Supreme Court set legal standards for social conditions. Among them was the separate-but-equal legal standard, also called Plessy v. Ferguson, which was a legal justification for European Americans who attempted to keep the minority illiterate and submissive.
In order to further increased minority enrollment in American colleges and universities, the Supreme Court heard the case of Regents of the University of California v.Bakke in 1978. Bakke who is a student, was denied admission twice to a California medical school despite having better grades and test scores than successful minority applicants. Bakke was among the first to present grievances about affirmative action to court. Bakke clai.

Free Education as a Popular Issue
The idea of free education is quickly becoming a controversial and much debated political topic throughout the world. Social media and the internet have provided people with a platform in which to express their opinions about whether or not education should be free for all without compromising quality. This picture, which is from a website for the British Green Party, shows one side of the free education debate. This topic originally interested me because I come from a country where education is free and where everyone has the opportunity to go to college or university regardless of economic status. In fact, I am in the United States right now because the government of Saudi Arabia has a multi-million dollar scholarship program that gives Saudi students the opportunity to study in the U.S. and other countries free of cost. After being in the U.S. for 3 years I now realize how lucky I am to have free education.
Supporters of free education argue that education has become more of a business enterprise rather than a basic human right. In addition, the cost of learning and education is placing an unnecessary economic burden on students who end up owing the government large amounts of money. In addition, the right to education is quickly turning into a privilege for those who can actually afford it. For example, I recently learned that my friend had to take out over $100,000 to help pay for her master’s degree at Georgetown University. I asked her to tell me more. She said that she was able to pay for her bachelor’s degree through government grants based on her income and age. She also attended community college where she paid for tuition on her own by working full time. Her experience gives a prime example of how complicated the current U.S. education system is and also what works and what doesn’t work. She is in extreme debt and will likely be in debt or a large portion of her life because of the loans she was forced to take out for only 2 years of schooling. While Georgetown is considered one of the top universities in the world and quality of education was definitely not compromised with her decision to attend there, she has expressed concern about whether or not the debt she has was worth it.
Supporters also say that education is a political choice, not a necessity. In fact, there are several countries with a free education system that seems to be working. Several of these countries are located in Europe, where the quality of education is not questioned. From what I’ve read, governments are able to subsidize the cost of tuition fees at universities and colleges through higher income tax. Many who are against free education argue that if the U.S. were to adopt a free education system that the income tax rates would skyrocket. In considering the policies of Saudi Arabia one more time I feel that we, again, are quite lucky. Free education d.

The intersection between education and race has long sparked emotional debate. Prior to the Civil War it was uncommon and in some places illegal to educate children who were not white. The Fourteenth Amendment (1868) requiring equal protection of the law for all citizens made it illegal to overtly deny children of color an education or to give them an expressly inferior one. However, the changes were more cosmetic that substantive. In many places, Jim Crow laws legalized accommo- dations that were supposedly “separate but equal,” but in reality were highly unequal. Blacks were the most numerous victims, but Asian Americans, Hispanics, and others also were relegated to second-class facilities and services. The Supreme Court upheld this fictitious equality in Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), a case that involved railroad car accommodations but also applied to schools and many other points of segregation. That decision stood until the Supreme Court overturned it in Brown v. Board of Education (1954). Writing for the unanimous court, Chief Justice Earl Warren opined that in “public education the doctrine of ‘separate but equal’ has no place. Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal.”
Over the years, the application Brown v. Board of Education slowly eliminated the overtly intentional school segregation, but, like the Fourteenth Amendment, there was a large gap between theoretical importance and practical impact. Two factors lim- ited Brown. One was that some school districts build schools or drew district lines in ways that maintained or created schools that were de facto racially segregated. The second factor involved living patterns. Whites fled cities to the suburbs or sent their children to private schools to avoid racially integrated schools, and urban schools became more and more minority dominated. These population shifts also left cities with diminished tax bases, and the schools declined for want of adequate funding.
In response, the courts moved to a more proactive stance. In a case involving the region centered on Charlotte, North Carolina, where schools remained very segre- gated and the school board resisted moving to desegregate, a federal judge in 1965 found that the segregation was intentional, ordered that all 105 schools integrate, and specified that children be bussed between schools in necessary.

In a recent case of Fisher v. The University of Texas at Austin, the Supreme Court upheld racial consideration of ethnicity and race in college admissions. But further sections of the case will probably apply to financial aid and admissions in majority of American systems of higher education. The court held that the basic motive that the plaintiff was deprived of admittance to the institution wasn’t its contemplation of race in admittance, but it is 10% bare in which the upper 10% of upper school alumnae are admitted to the university or public college of their liking. The institution has an ongoing responsibility to meet the authorized trial of strict inquiry by occasionally reexamining the admittance program’s efficacy and constitutionality, in light of the institution’s involvement and the information it has collected since embracing its admittance program, and by modifying its approach to guarantee that race plays not any grander part than is essential to meet its convincing interests (Jaschik, 2016).
Diversity is of great significance to the institutions of higher learning for various reasons. Diversity enlarges worldliness. Universities might be the first chance people see of having an opportunity to mingle with individuals from different societies. People automatically find themselves segregated in the neighborhood, churches, and schools. University offers people a chance to interact with the entire world without having to travel anywhere else. Diversity progresses social development. Intermingling with individuals from a diversity of societies broadens people’s social circle by growing the pool of individuals with whom they can interact with and develops relationship. A conversation with friends with similar things in common is a boring interaction. Diversity prepares the pupils for future professional accomplishments. Fruitful performance in today’s varied employment field needs thoughtfulness to human dissimilarities and the ability to connect with individuals from varied cultural backgrounds. The diverse employment field calls institutions to promote diversity (Jeremy S. Hyman, 2009).

In the United States Primarily, the responsibility of education is vested upon individual states. This, however, does not exonerate the federal government from the education sector. The national government plays a supporting role in providing finances as well as funds and assistance in a bid to provide a lifeline whenever states are overwhelmed by the burden of overseeing the education within their jurisdictions. The funds from the feral government come in handy in helping millions of Americans, some of whom financial circumstances have impeded them from seeking education and particularly higher education. It is also judicious to note that the federal government does not only offer monetary support but also other forms of support in ways that will be discussed below.
Environment necessary for the excelling of education is also a burden of the federal government. A common myth is that the environment suitable for study which entails security, classrooms, sanitation and tranquility away from noisy environs of industries and busy towns, is only a necessity of the primary and secondary levels. However, it has since been discovered that the same environment is also needed by the tertiary level. The federal governments after providing these basic needs necessary for the thriving of the education sector in states, the states are then mandated to ensure the growth of the sector (In Inoue, 2019). Deductively, the states play a major role in determining the type of educational prospects it is going to provide for its residents.
The past centuries have experienced investment in the education sector by both the federal government and the state government and notably, the investment spread over the past fifty years is immense (Heller, 2016). These investments can be attributed to the opinion bored by the relevant stakeholders of the service to the public interest that these investments will give. The opinion further digresses from the profit-making point of an investment concept to reveal that the investments will be a stepping stone for the residents whose ambitions and desires have been just aspirations. It is at this juncture that we realize that the investments are in the form of policies. A perfect exemplar of such a policy is the enactment of the Higher Education Amendment Act of 1972 (Rose, 2018). This Act achieved the feat of assuring the public that financial incapability will not be an impediment anymore to those that sought education past high school.

Affordable higher education is a public policy that raises issues in any state with some states performing better than others. The affordable higher education policy enables families to meet education prices through lowering of tuition prices. The policy focuses on educational expenses such as tuition and educational options to ensure lower income families can afford to give their children education. The affordability policy provides for state financial aid and Pell grants which greatly reduces the price of higher education (Hillman et al., 2015). The affordability policy provides for low-priced colleges and universities which is made available to applicants who are motivated. Low priced community college is as a result of the policy.
The current status of the affordable higher education is that it is declining resulting in a public issue. Rising costs have been experienced over the past couple of years affecting people from different classes of the economy. Public colleges are increasing tuition fees in order to recapture funds resulting in higher costs of higher education. The erosion of affordability is brought about by increasing costs and leading to many students missing out. Focus on this policy is due to low income families missing out on the opportunity to get higher education. The families are faced with unplanned tuition hikes when they are considering enrolling in the institutions.
Stakeholders influencing the affordability policy include the states and federal government which provide for funding. The funding streams by the federal and state governments are almost equal in size. The federal government provides financial assistance to individual students while the state provides finances for the operations that occur in the public institutions. The research projects in the public institutions are financed by the federal governments. The public is a stakeholder also where they engage the federal government in the issues which affect them such as raised fees. The public relies on the government and regulate the policy ensuring deserving students enroll and meet the costs of education.

Tech schools, also known as coding boot camps, vocational schools, or technical institutes, are educational institutions that prioritize practical, industry-relevant skills over traditional academic coursework.
At its core, the philosophy of education seeks to address profound inquiries concerning the nature of learning and teaching. It grapples with questions such as: What is the purpose of education? What constitutes knowledge? How do individuals learn? These inquiries serve as the cornerstone for developing educational theories and practices.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Florida A&M University Students Express Concerns Over Impacted Race Education Amid Legislative Changes

Florida A&M University (FAMU), the state’s sole public Historically Black College and University
(HBCU), has long been dedicated to educating African Americans since its founding over a century ago.
However, recent legislative changes have raised concerns among students about potential limitations on
teaching essential aspects of African American history.
Governor Ron DeSantis signed a law last spring that restricts public colleges from utilizing taxpayer funds
for diversity programs. Additionally, the law prohibits the instruction of theories asserting that “systemic
racism, sexism, oppression, and privilege are inherent in the institutions of the United States and were
created to maintain social, political, and economic inequities.” This legislation, part of broader Republican
efforts to regulate campus initiatives on equity and inclusion, has prompted protests on the FAMU campus.
2. FAMU Students Concerned About Educational Impact Amidst
Legislative Changes
The students at FAMU, aware of the potential implications of the new law, are expressing apprehensions
about how it might impact the teaching of topics related to race and American history. The concerns are
rooted in the fear that political constraints could interfere with the university’s core mission of providing a
comprehensive education, especially in areas vital to the understanding of African American experiences.
The law’s prohibition on the use of taxpayer money for diversity programs and its constraints on certain
theories related to systemic issues have sparked a campus-wide conversation. Students are closely
monitoring developments and seeking assurance that the guidance stemming from the legislation will not
compromise the integrity of their education.
This legislative shift reflects broader discussions and actions taking place across the country regarding the
boundaries of diversity and inclusion initiatives in educational institutions. Critics argue that such laws
stifle academic freedom and limit the exploration of critical topics in the curriculum, particularly those
addressing historical and systemic issues related to race.
FAMU’s contribution to African American education is at risk.
FAMU has a rich legacy and has played a significant role in advancing African American education. The
concerns raised by students indicate the tension between preserving the institution’s commitment to
comprehensive education and navigating the evolving legislative landscape.
As the FAMU community grapples with these concerns, it adds to the ongoing national dialogue about the
balance between legislative directives and the academic freedom necessary to provide a well-rounded
education. The impact of such legislation on HBCUs, which often serve as crucial centers for promoting
diverse perspectives and histories, underscores the broader challenges faced by educational institutions in
addressing systemic issues and ensuring inclusivity in the curriculum.
