Student At California State University
SOCL 1010

13 October 2014
Reflection Paper #1
I am currently a student at California State University, Stanislaus for many reasons. Social forces
have strongly impacted and influenced my decision to attend CSU Stanislaus. Societal factors such
as social institutions, cultural norms, personal values, historical place and time, globalization, and
the roles of social class, race and ethnicity, and gender all have played a role that has shaped my life
in one way or another.
Two social institutions that have impacted my current status at CSU Stanislaus are education and the
economy. For the entirety of our childhood, we are in school. We are educated on how to survive in
this world and in society. We are trained and prepared for ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net

That proved to be untrue. No job is truly financially stable, but there are some majors that have a
better chance of finding a job and keeping it. Despite the bad economy, a college degree is still
better than just a high school diploma. I feel like these days it is crucial to have a college degree in
this unstable economy.
Cultural norms have greatly influenced my decision to go to college. In the United States, it is the
norm that as a high school student you continue your education and go to college. Everybody
expects you to go to college. Your parents, teachers, and your counselors try very hard and pressure
you to go to college. When I was a high school student, I always thought that we had an option. You
can either go to college or get a job. I was wrong about that. It really isn't an option when you 're
forced to go to college through social circumstances. This doesn't mean that I didn't want to go to
college. What I am trying to say here is that we need to feel like it is okay if we don't go to college.
We need to know it's socially acceptable that we didn't attend college. I feel like I really didn't make
the decision to go to college. Everybody else did. We are made to think that the only way to be
financially successful is to go to college and get a degree. Then were supposed to find a job and
work our way up. That isn't always true. Some of the most successful individuals dropped out of
college. Another cultural norm that has influenced me is how

The University Of Southern California
There are over one thousand colleges in the U.S, but the University of Southern California is the
college to attend for various reasons. USC is a well rounded school that provides a variety of clubs,
activities, scholarship opportunities, and academic classes. The faculty and staff of the University of
Southern California work hard to make each student that attends successful and well–prepared for
the working environment in the near future.
The University of Southern California began to develop in 1871 when the citizens of Los Angeles
believed it was time to pursue the idea of establishing an institution of a higher education. Eight
years later A citizen of LA, Judge Widney, formed a board of trustees and provides a donation of
308 lots of land from three community leaders. Soon USC was finally becoming a reality, It opened
with only 53 students and 10 faculty members. The school soon thrived and things started to begin
such as the school of music was founded in 1884, and the college of medicine began a year later.
Soon after in 1947 a feisty stray dog named George was USC's official first student body mascot. As
of now the newest tradition to the University of Southern California is trojan mascot. The Trojan or
traveler leads USC stadium chants at games, and has Provided USC spirit at rose parade, disneyland,
Dave and Busters, and universal studios. The first trojan or traveler began by wearing what the actor

UC Berkeley
Our mission is to further the frontiers of primary vision care practice and vision science research
through selection of a diverse and excellent faculty and staff and the most promising students whose
talents and backgrounds will be responsive to society. The University of California was founded in
1868, born out of a vision in the State Constitution of a university that would contribute even more
than California's gold to the happiness of advancing generations. In 1866, the land that comprises
the current Berkeley campus was purchased by the private College of California. Because it lacked
sufficient funds to operate, it eventually merged with the state–run Agricultural, Mining, and
Mechanical Arts College to form the University of California. ... Show more content on

The Campanile (also referred to as Sather Tower) is the third tallest bell and clock tower in the
world. As well as the stone ball in front of the Campanile is now referred to as the "4.0 Ball."
Rubbing it before taking an exam is considered good luck. In addition, Berkeley was named for the
Irish theologian and poet George Berkeley. The Free Speech Movement started in 1964 at UC
Berkeley and led to a college campus phenomenon that was first inspired by the struggle for civil
rights and fueled by opposition to the Vietnam War. Furthermore, the campus colors are blue and
gold. Blue was chosen for the California sky and ocean and the Yale graduates that moved west to
establish the university and gold was chosen for the "Golden State." Moreover, California Victory
Cannon was donated by the class of 1964 and continues to be fired at the beginning of every home
football game, after each score, and after each victory.
Although UC Berkeley has a campus 1,232 acres big, the school population is 27,126. UC Berkeley
is hard to get into because its acceptance rate is 14.8%, and it is ranked as #3 global university. The
average–class size at Berkeley is really high with about 800 students. While the student–teacher

military base from 1917 to 1964 and was deeded to UCSD for higher education purpose. In this
sense, meaning and knowledge are produced through the use of language. In addition, this practice
of showing knowledge is a source of power when using social institutions to express thoughts on

advertisement for the ship (figure 4) which was found in the University of California files relating to
the Gold Rush and has the date '1858' written in pencil . The North American is described as
The largest ship in New York' for San Francisco Direct(...) The splendid A No 1, and very superior

in the most commodious manner(...) and the whole is fitted up as a Saloon.
Summing up: At least on paper, a very efficient and comfortable means of transportation.
The travel to California, as advertised by the poster, would start by departing from New York on
22nd of March, sailing around Cape Horn and hopefully arriving at California after 90 days. A
careful analysis of this object reveals that the date '1858' not in the original printing is just a guess
written by someone at an unidentified time. The corrected date should be 1852 since this is the year
Capt. Austin was commanding it and the ship is described as 'entirely new'. Also, on 8 March 1858,
The North American was involved in a collision which took place off Point Lynas causing the
sinking of the Spanish barque Tecla Carmen, apparently without the loss of life. As a consequence,

The Gap Reduction Theory Of The University Of California
Going to college is a scary thing whether a student is fresh out of high school, a non–traditional
student going back after many years, or anything in between. It can be very daunting to keep up with
the level of understanding required for college courses. Many subjects, especially math and writing,
are found to be a challenge for a lot of students. Therefore, the University has provided free tutoring
services to help increase the quality of learning and experience and to help students reach their
maximum learning potential. Unfortunately, several students do not take advantage of this free
service. One reason some might not use the service, is that it may be difficult for them to admit that
they need help. For others, it is the uncertainty of the unknown that deters them. The anxiety or
uncomfortableness that often accompanies new situations leaves numerous students trying to trudge
through on their own.
Charles Berger, an American professor emeritus of communication at the University of California,
Davis, formulated the communication theory called the Uncertainty Reduction Theory. In A First
Look at Communication Theory, Griffin (2012), explains Berger's theory as the following:
Uncertainty reduction theory focuses on how human communication is used to gain knowledge and
create understanding...When strangers meet, their primary concern is one of uncertainty reduction or
increasing predictability about the behavior of both themselves and others in the interaction (p.125).

Reflection Paper On Refugees
The first day of my internship at the Refugee Legal Service in Dublin, Ireland I learned the
difference between watching news clips on refugees, and what it meant to actually go through the
whole process. The asylum process is a painstaking, time consuming, and emotional ordeal. During
my time there, I ended up meeting with dozens of refugees, but there was one event that I can still
remember clearly. I was invited to help work on a case involving a woman and her son fleeing from
South Africa due to facial scarring on the first–born child. After a meeting with several members of
our legal team, I reached out to the caseworker and asked if there was anything extra I could do to
help their case. She asked that I try to find more evidence to support the claim that facial scarring
was still going on in the village the family was from. After spending days researching the area the
village was in, I was able to find other accounts of facial scarring. Because of my extra efforts that
helped her case, I was invited to attend the hearing at the High Court. This opportunity was
incredible and overwhelming and I know this was only a fraction of the work that you have to go
through to be granted asylum. The hearing was eight hours, long and I was one of the few people
allowed to sit in the back of the courtroom and take notes. Throughout the entire day it was
interesting to see how the asylum process actually works, as opposed to hearing or reading about it.

Applying And Choosing A Place Of Higher Education Essay
As childhood comfort slowly slips away when children transition from elementary, middle, to high
school, the idea that seemed so fantastical in toddlers' daydreams becomes concrete and frightening:
the future. High school students are presented with a short four year period to decide what they want
to pursue, and the junior year of high school is where most students are hit hardest. As a junior, the
daunting task of preparing for one's future is suddenly presented, and everything one has
accomplished in life, in combination with many standardized tests, will be assembled to do one task:
applying and choosing a place of higher education. Three important criteria in college searching are
admission standards, location, and athletic programs, and two post–high school institutions, Rice
University and the University of California– Berkeley, will be compared based on these aspects. As
a primary benchmark, the admission standards for a university will need to be evaluated in order to
decide if a college is suitable for one's academic rigor. Admission standards for Rice University
consist of "either the SAT and two SAT Subject Tests in fields related to their proposed area of
study, or the ACT Plus Writing test" ("Standardized Testing") in addition to: a high school transcript,

Blue and red lights flashed outside, while I saw my father being handcuffed; my mother and older
siblings crying. I was seven at the time, didn't really understand what was happening but later I
found out he was deported. My mother tried her best to raise me, "Sepa como pensar,"my mother
would always tell me, which in English it means,"know how to think." I was raised to face reality at
a young age and to know that everything that you want in life comes from hard work. Living in a
household of 7 siblings was not easy, especially for a single mother who is also an immigrant. I was
one of the youngest. My mother was diagnosed with her illness and has major depression since I
was 12 years–old, so she had to stop working. For me overcoming poverty in my family is hard
because my mother is not able to work due to her illnesses that she has to face. Growing up knowing
not being able to afford certain types of things or being able to help around the house financially
was difficult, I felt like I was not good enough and useless until a professor that I met had a similar
story as mine advised me that in order to get out of my situation was to get an education. I have five
sisters and one brother, the four oldest never went to college and live off paycheck by paycheck. We

The At The University Of California Riverside ( Ucr )
It's the day of an important final that could either make or break your grade. You have been driving
around for thirty minutes looking for a place to park. Glancing at the clock that shows you only have
ten minutes left before the test starts, panic begins to rise and you could feel tears forming behind
your eyes. With no other choices left, you decide to look for a spot along the street. After parking
blocks away from campus, you take off running at full speed, hoping that your professor is a
forgiving and understanding person. The situation above is something many college students,
especially those here at the University of California Riverside (UCR), are well aware of. Although
there are tons of parking lots here at UCR, students still struggle to find a place to park. One of the
main reasons is because of the increase in students attending across campuses all over the US.
According to the National Center for Educational Statistic, "Between 2001 and 2011, enrollment
increased 32 percent, from 15.9 million to 21.0 million." As a result, the amount of parking spaces
here at UCR could not compensate for the growing number of students. A lack of parking spaces can
cause many detriments toward the students as it can hinder with their class schedules, cause them to
either be late or miss a class, and overall affect their grades. If UCR implement a shuttle bus system
for the empty parking lots that are far away from the school, students would be less stress about the

The Scale Of Global Climate Disruption Essay
The scale of global climate disruption is too great to conquer with only statements of commitment
and generalized solutions, especially given that many nationally determined contributions (NDCs)
are not enough to limit warming to 2 degrees. Given the massive scope of the changing climate
system, addressing and solving the causes can be accomplished and observed more effectively on a
smaller scale, such as provided by cities, businesses, and institutions of higher learning, which
compose an impactful proportion of the larger body (state or nation). The only way to effectively
integrate sustainable solutions broadly is to examine small scale successful measures in living
laboratories, and to then implement those more widely and efficiently. This allows greater regions to
tailor and adapt solutions to fit into their community.
There needs to be integration on all levels of society and among the various stakeholders in order to
have any hope of restricting warming to 1.5–2 degrees Celsius, therefor limiting the disastrous
potential impacts. This report will detail and inventory some of the most ambitious climate action

The Bakke Vs. The Regents Of University Of California
The Bakke Vs. The Regents of University of California case is one of the most well known supreme
court cases in America dealing with the topic of affirmative action. Stated by Eastland, "affirmative
action policies are those in which an institution or organization actively engages in efforts to
improve opportunities for historically excluded groups in American society" (10). In 1978, the
plaintiff Bakke filed a suit against the University of California, claiming that his rejection from the
school was a result of racial discrimination and that it violated the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the
equal protection clause of the Constitution's Fourteenth Amendment, and the California Constitution
(Posner 171). The U.S Supreme court ruled that affirmative action was constitutional, but not the
use of racial quotas. The significance of this case is that it dealt directly with two major theories
prevalent to minorities and race: Their assimilation into the university setting using affirmative
action, and also the systemic racism that these groups faced as well. More specifically however, the
Bakke Vs. the Regents of University of California case can be explained by systemic racism more so
than assimilation, because systemic racism was and still is in effect in these educational institutions.

Regents Of The University Of California V. Bakke
S.C.O.T.U.S. Legal Brief

Period 2
May 2015
Regents of the University of California v. Bakke (1976)
Facts of the case:
In the early 1970's UC Davis decided to have a dual admissions program for their medical school.
The purpose of having two admissions programs in one would be for regular students and the other
one would be for "disadvantaged" students. Minority applicants could now say they were
"disadvantaged" so they were put in the special pool which would make it easy for them to get into
the medical program. One major differences between both programs is that through the
"disadvantaged" program you could have lower than a 2.5 and still be eligible to get into the school.
The controversy began when Allan Bakke applied to ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
However, the Superior Court of Yolo County stated that Bakke should not be admitted into the
medical school because he failed to show that he would actually be admitted if there was no special
admissions program. Both sides appealed because Regents of the University of California didn 't
believe it was unconstitutional and Bakke wanted to be admitted into the medical program.
The next step was onto The Supreme Court of California. They said the same exact thing that the
Superior Court of Yolo County said, however they said that Bakke should be admitted into the
medical program because the University, not Bakke, failed to show that he would not be admitted
without the specialty program. Regents of the University of California appealed this because both
courts did not agree with the points that they made.
Petition before the Supreme Court:
Both sides had major arguments and reasons why they thought their side was right. Regents of the
University of California said that their special admissions program helped limit discrimination in
our society. Medical schools normally were discriminatory towards minors (by the admission
process based of credentials) so this program helped ease that problem. The Regents of the
University of California also stated that the program will help poor communities by giving them
physicians that will want to go and help out the cause of where they grew up. Regents of the

According to what Maxwell wrote, "Higher–education official note that students have endured
tuition increase and program cuts during other lean times" Universities have difficulties in providing
enough classes for students due to the shortage in professors so that choosing suitable classes
becomes increasingly tough. When most of the foreign students cannot attend the required classes,
they have to take useless classes in order to reach the requirement banned by immigration legislation
that foreign students have to take at least twelve units courses per semester. It is hard to believe that
a university can be helpful in education if students cannot take classes they need or want. Also,
fewer and fewer chances are provided for students to get into commendable universities since the
cut in budget for universities leads to the enrollment decrease of universities. "UC leaders likely will
follow in the fall 2004 with plans to freeze enrollment growth for freshmen, transfer students, and
graduate students. That decision would block entry for an estimated five thousand eligible students"
(Maxwell 208). Even though the California education system enables college students who did not
get an offer from UC after high schools transfer to UC as long as they are qualified by required
GPA, which is much easier way to get into their dream school, the budget cut makes universities

The Case of The Regents of the University of California v....
The Regents of the University of California v. Bakke case in 1978 explored the issue surrounding a
young white man's rejection from UC Davis' Medical School when students with lower grades than
him were accepted through a minority benefits program. The young man, Allan Bakke, was rejected
in two successive years before filing suit in the Superior Court of Yolo County, arguing that he had
to be accepted to the school since those with grades lower than him had been accepted through the
benefits program. The school claimed that the goal of their minority benefits program was to further
diversify their campus. The program was intended for minority or disadvantaged students, but soon
became entirely racially based, which was evident, since no white students were ever accepted into
the program, regardless of any disadvantaged background they may have had. The school had lower
expectations for the applicants in the benefits program, so some of the students accepted through
that program were less qualified to attend the school than some of those who were rejected through
the regular applicant process. Bakke was one of those rejected applicants, and felt that his rejection
was unconstitutional according to both the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment
and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The school argued that they were encouraging diversity
and understanding with the benefits program, but the Superior Court of Yolo County ultimately

The Campus Of The University Of California
Overview:
On the campus of the University of California, Tatiana Tarasoff was killed by Prosenjit Poddar just
two months after being detained by campus police for making such threats in a counseling session.
According to Public Health Law, Poddar expressed that he was going to carry out the action of
murder during two different counseling sessions, which his psychologist, Dr. Moore, had no choice
but to have him detained. He was released after promising to stay away from Tarasoff, however, he
followed through on killing Tatiana Tarasoff. During this time frame, according to the "Facts" from
a casebriefs.com (page 2), the psychologist sought out other professionals for insight. The reason for
consensualizing was to get others' insight as to whether is was the psychologists place to warn
Tatiana Tarasoff or her parents of this threat, and break confidentiality with her client. The
conclusion drawn was to not warn, which was advised by Moore's superior, or protect Tatiana, and
as a result, she was murdered by Poddar in 1969.
Findings:
In the case of Tarasoff vs. Regents of University of California Supreme Court, the findings were that
of a mental health professional, along with the supervisor, and others, were being sued by Tatiana
Tarasoff parents after she was brutally murdered by Prosenjit Poddar in 1969. The 1976 ruling

Regents of the University of California v. Bakke (1978)
Introduction
Race equality has been an arduous issue in the United States. Regents of the University of California
v. Bakke (1978) is a landmark Supreme Court case that brought scrutiny to racial discrimination in
the college admission process. The Encyclopedia Of Law And Higher Education introduces the
discussion of the University of California at Davis' special minority admissions policy at their
medical school. The case was first heard by the Supreme Court of California and later taken to the
United States Supreme Court (Russo 363). The short and long term effects of the Regents of the
University of California v. Bakke (1978) have changed the procedure for college admittance all over
the United States of America.
Background
The decisions of the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) for the admissions program appear
to be racially driven and a product of affirmative action. Charles Russo writes that the first year
enrollment class, in 1968, at the UC Davis School of Medicine contained only fifty students (Russo
364). These fifty students were not seen as a representation of the California population. According
to the cross disciplinary source American Decades, that year, only three Asian students were
admitted into the first class with no other minority race represented. This was with the state minority
population being twenty–three percent (Minority). The minorities

Why UC Santa Cruz for Veterinary Career

  • 1. Student At California State University SOCL 1010 Barbara Olave 13 October 2014 Reflection Paper #1 I am currently a student at California State University, Stanislaus for many reasons. Social forces have strongly impacted and influenced my decision to attend CSU Stanislaus. Societal factors such as social institutions, cultural norms, personal values, historical place and time, globalization, and the roles of social class, race and ethnicity, and gender all have played a role that has shaped my life in one way or another. Two social institutions that have impacted my current status at CSU Stanislaus are education and the economy. For the entirety of our childhood, we are in school. We are educated on how to survive in this world and in society. We are trained and prepared for ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... That proved to be untrue. No job is truly financially stable, but there are some majors that have a better chance of finding a job and keeping it. Despite the bad economy, a college degree is still better than just a high school diploma. I feel like these days it is crucial to have a college degree in this unstable economy. Cultural norms have greatly influenced my decision to go to college. In the United States, it is the norm that as a high school student you continue your education and go to college. Everybody expects you to go to college. Your parents, teachers, and your counselors try very hard and pressure you to go to college. When I was a high school student, I always thought that we had an option. You can either go to college or get a job. I was wrong about that. It really isn't an option when you 're forced to go to college through social circumstances. This doesn't mean that I didn't want to go to college. What I am trying to say here is that we need to feel like it is okay if we don't go to college. We need to know it's socially acceptable that we didn't attend college. I feel like I really didn't make the decision to go to college. Everybody else did. We are made to think that the only way to be financially successful is to go to college and get a degree. Then were supposed to find a job and work our way up. That isn't always true. Some of the most successful individuals dropped out of college. Another cultural norm that has influenced me is how ...

The drinking fountain is made out of granite that has been polished. It is situated on a cement pathway across from Yogurt World and the iconic Triton statue, which is next to the Price Center. The drinking fountain is in front of the Student Services Center building and next to the fountain, close to several outdoor seats and tables.

It simply states that over a million marines passed their marksmanship training in this military base from 1917 to 1964 and was deeded to UCSD for higher education purpose. In this sense, meaning and knowledge are produced through the use of language. In addition, this practice of showing knowledge is a source of power when using social institutions to express thoughts on society. As I gaze on the drinking fountain, I suddenly notice that some other viewers at the site could not see the push button on the side of the drinking fountain from their viewing angles to the fountain and therefore falsely mislead into the assumption that the drinking fountain for merely décor rather than a functional fountain. This realization strikes a chord in me as I realize that different perspectives on the drinking fountain and the site form a network of power and relationships that can shape meanings and create differences. It is clear that the meanings of the drinking fountain are "produced through the complex negotiations that make up social process and practices through which we produce and interpret images."

  • 23. The University Of California Archives Essay University of California Archives An important source helped to corroborate the vessel's first name as North American. It was an advertisement for the ship (figure 4) which was found in the University of California files relating to the Gold Rush and has the date '1858' written in pencil . The North American is described as The largest ship in New York' for San Francisco Direct(...) The splendid A No 1, and very superior coppered, and copper fastened Clipper Ship (...) This Ship is entirely new and fitted for passengers in the most commodious manner(...) and the whole is fitted up as a Saloon. Summing up: At least on paper, a very efficient and comfortable means of transportation. The travel to California, as advertised by the poster, would start by departing from New York on 22nd of March, sailing around Cape Horn and hopefully arriving at California after 90 days. A careful analysis of this object reveals that the date '1858' not in the original printing is just a guess written by someone at an unidentified time. The corrected date should be 1852 since this is the year Capt. Austin was commanding it and the ship is described as 'entirely new'. Also, on 8 March 1858, The North American was involved in a collision which took place off Point Lynas causing the sinking of the Spanish barque Tecla Carmen, apparently without the loss of life. As a consequence, the ship was impounded (Haggard 1864:79–80). A document would confirm 1852 as the correct date. In a letter from ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 25. The Gap Reduction Theory Of The University Of California Going to college is a scary thing whether a student is fresh out of high school, a non–traditional student going back after many years, or anything in between. It can be very daunting to keep up with the level of understanding required for college courses. Many subjects, especially math and writing, are found to be a challenge for a lot of students. Therefore, the University has provided free tutoring services to help increase the quality of learning and experience and to help students reach their maximum learning potential. Unfortunately, several students do not take advantage of this free service. One reason some might not use the service, is that it may be difficult for them to admit that they need help. For others, it is the uncertainty of the unknown that deters them. The anxiety or uncomfortableness that often accompanies new situations leaves numerous students trying to trudge through on their own. Charles Berger, an American professor emeritus of communication at the University of California, Davis, formulated the communication theory called the Uncertainty Reduction Theory. In A First Look at Communication Theory, Griffin (2012), explains Berger's theory as the following: Uncertainty reduction theory focuses on how human communication is used to gain knowledge and create understanding...When strangers meet, their primary concern is one of uncertainty reduction or increasing predictability about the behavior of both themselves and others in the interaction (p.125). ...

Reflection Paper On Refugees The first day of my internship at the Refugee Legal Service in Dublin, Ireland I learned the difference between watching news clips on refugees, and what it meant to actually go through the whole process. The asylum process is a painstaking, time consuming, and emotional ordeal. During my time there, I ended up meeting with dozens of refugees, but there was one event that I can still remember clearly. I was invited to help work on a case involving a woman and her son fleeing from South Africa due to facial scarring on the first–born child. After a meeting with several members of our legal team, I reached out to the caseworker and asked if there was anything extra I could do to help their case. She asked that I try to find more evidence to support the claim that facial scarring was still going on in the village the family was from. After spending days researching the area the village was in, I was able to find other accounts of facial scarring. Because of my extra efforts that helped her case, I was invited to attend the hearing at the High Court. This opportunity was incredible and overwhelming and I know this was only a fraction of the work that you have to go through to be granted asylum. The hearing was eight hours, long and I was one of the few people allowed to sit in the back of the courtroom and take notes. Throughout the entire day it was interesting to see how the asylum process actually works, as opposed to hearing or reading about it. During the lunch break I ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

A new year to look forward to events and classes, and another year of wading through library walk in the sea of new faces. Over 5,000 new freshmen faces and over 2,000 transfer faces to be exact. With many new students on campus, there are concerns about the university's ability to accommodate these new students with current resources. The entering freshmen class had 84,222 applicants and 30,264 (35.9 percent) of those applicants were admitted as stated on the University of California's website; a jump from last year's 34 percent admittance rate. Although the number of students that will attend remains unknown, we can expect over 5,000 new first–year students based on the number of the registered incoming students from UCSD's First–Time Freshmen Statistics in the fall of 2015, which was 5,292 students.

Highly regarded as one of the top educational systems in the world, the University of California boasts a high number of distinguished and respected faculty members in almost every field of study. However, while most private colleges and universities have learned how to streamline their processes in order to better respond to stakeholder needs, public educational institutions, such as the University of California, have not been willing to control their bureaucratic growth resulting in a rise of tuition rates and a decline in the level of student satisfaction. In her article for the TIME magazine, Kate Pickert writes that as recently as November of this year the University of California has approved a plan that could raise tuition rates by up to 28% (Pickert). Pickert also points out that the tuition rates at the University of California have more than tripled since 2001.

High school students are presented with a short four year period to decide what they want to pursue, and the junior year of high school is where most students are hit hardest. As a junior, the daunting task of preparing for one's future is suddenly presented, and everything one has accomplished in life, in combination with many standardized tests, will be assembled to do one task: applying and choosing a place of higher education. Three important criteria in college searching are admission standards, location, and athletic programs, and two post–high school institutions, Rice University and the University of California– Berkeley, will be compared based on these aspects. As a primary benchmark, the admission standards for a university will need to be evaluated in order to decide if a college is suitable for one's academic rigor. Admission standards for Rice University consist of "either the SAT and two SAT Subject Tests in fields related to their proposed area of study, or the ACT Plus Writing test" ("Standardized Testing") in addition to: a high school transcript, the Common Application with Rice Writing Supplement, $75 dollar application fee, a counselor recommendation, one teacher recommendation, and midyear grades from senior year; the office of admissions will ...

You have been driving around for thirty minutes looking for a place to park. Glancing at the clock that shows you only have ten minutes left before the test starts, panic begins to rise and you could feel tears forming behind your eyes. With no other choices left, you decide to look for a spot along the street. After parking blocks away from campus, you take off running at full speed, hoping that your professor is a forgiving and understanding person. The situation above is something many college students, especially those here at the University of California Riverside (UCR), are well aware of. Although there are tons of parking lots here at UCR, students still struggle to find a place to park. One of the main reasons is because of the increase in students attending across campuses all over the US. According to the National Center for Educational Statistic, "Between 2001 and 2011, enrollment increased 32 percent, from 15.9 million to 21.0 million." As a result, the amount of parking spaces here at UCR could not compensate for the growing number of students.

The Scale Of Global Climate Disruption Essay The scale of global climate disruption is too great to conquer with only statements of commitment and generalized solutions, especially given that many nationally determined contributions (NDCs) are not enough to limit warming to 2 degrees. Given the massive scope of the changing climate system, addressing and solving the causes can be accomplished and observed more effectively on a smaller scale, such as provided by cities, businesses, and institutions of higher learning, which compose an impactful proportion of the larger body (state or nation). The only way to effectively integrate sustainable solutions broadly is to examine small scale successful measures in living laboratories, and to then implement those more widely and efficiently. This allows greater regions to tailor and adapt solutions to fit into their community. There needs to be integration on all levels of society and among the various stakeholders in order to have any hope of restricting warming to 1.5–2 degrees Celsius, therefor limiting the disastrous potential impacts.

The Regents of University of California case is one of the most well known supreme court cases in America dealing with the topic of affirmative action. Stated by Eastland, "affirmative action policies are those in which an institution or organization actively engages in efforts to improve opportunities for historically excluded groups in American society" (10). In 1978, the plaintiff Bakke filed a suit against the University of California, claiming that his rejection from the school was a result of racial discrimination and that it violated the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the equal protection clause of the Constitution's Fourteenth Amendment, and the California Constitution (Posner 171). The U.S Supreme court ruled that affirmative action was constitutional, but not the use of racial quotas. The significance of this case is that it dealt directly with two major theories prevalent to minorities and race: Their assimilation into the university setting using affirmative action, and also the systemic racism that these groups faced as well. More specifically however, the Bakke Vs. the Regents of University of California case can be explained by systemic racism more so than assimilation, because systemic racism was and still is in effect in these educational institutions.

The purpose of having two admissions programs in one would be for regular students and the other one would be for "disadvantaged" students. Minority applicants could now say they were "disadvantaged" so they were put in the special pool which would make it easy for them to get into the medical program.

The controversy began when Allan Bakke applied to ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

The next step was onto The Supreme Court of California. They said the same exact thing that the Superior Court of Yolo County said, however they said that Bakke should be admitted into the medical program because the University, not Bakke, failed to show that he would not be admitted without the specialty program.

According to what Maxwell wrote, "Higher–education official note that students have endured tuition increase and program cuts during other lean times" Universities have difficulties in providing enough classes for students due to the shortage in professors so that choosing suitable classes becomes increasingly tough. When most of the foreign students cannot attend the required classes, they have to take useless classes in order to reach the requirement banned by immigration legislation that foreign students have to take at least twelve units courses per semester. It is hard to believe that a university can be helpful in education if students cannot take classes they need or want. Also, fewer and fewer chances are provided for students to get into commendable universities since the cut in budget for universities leads to the enrollment decrease of universities. "UC leaders likely will follow in the fall 2004 with plans to freeze enrollment growth for freshmen, transfer students, and graduate students. That decision would block entry for an estimated five thousand eligible students" (Maxwell 208).

Bakke case in 1978 explored the issue surrounding a young white man's rejection from UC Davis' Medical School when students with lower grades than him were accepted through a minority benefits program. The young man, Allan Bakke, was rejected in two successive years before filing suit in the Superior Court of Yolo County, arguing that he had to be accepted to the school since those with grades lower than him had been accepted through the benefits program. The school claimed that the goal of their minority benefits program was to further diversify their campus. The program was intended for minority or disadvantaged students, but soon became entirely racially based, which was evident, since no white students were ever accepted into the program, regardless of any disadvantaged background they may have had. The school had lower expectations for the applicants in the benefits program, so some of the students accepted through that program were less qualified to attend the school than some of those who were rejected through the regular applicant process. Bakke was one of those rejected applicants, and felt that his rejection was unconstitutional according to both the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The school argued that they were encouraging diversity and understanding with the benefits program, but the Superior Court of Yolo County ultimately decided that the ...

According to Public Health Law, Poddar expressed that he was going to carry out the action of murder during two different counseling sessions, which his psychologist, Dr. Moore, had no choice but to have him detained. He was released after promising to stay away from Tarasoff, however, he followed through on killing Tatiana Tarasoff. During this time frame, according to the "Facts" from a casebriefs.com (page 2), the psychologist sought out other professionals for insight. The reason for consensualizing was to get others' insight as to whether is was the psychologists place to warn Tatiana Tarasoff or her parents of this threat, and break confidentiality with her client. The conclusion drawn was to not warn, which was advised by Moore's superior, or protect Tatiana, and as a result, she was murdered by Poddar in 1969.
