REGIONAL DIFFERENCES OF THE U.S. LATIN@ DIASPORA_ IMPLICATIONS FOR STUDENT AF...Joe Palencia
This document summarizes a presentation given at an ACPA conference on regional differences among Latinx students in the U.S. and implications for student affairs professionals. The presentation covered key terms, U.S. census data on Latinx populations, Torres' model of Hispanic identity development, and breakout group discussions on regional identity issues. Student interviews found language barriers, a sense of incompleteness outside of Latinx communities, and low Latinx enrollment as challenges.

Bats use echolocation to navigate and locate food. They emit high-pitched sound waves and use the reflection to determine the distance of nearby objects, allowing them to detect insects up to 10 meters away due to their highly adapted hearing.
The document discusses how the increased involvement of law enforcement in inner-city schools has contributed to poor academic outcomes. It argues that despite declining teen violence, the "fear of black violence" has led to police becoming fixtures in these schools through the 1960s. Strict zero-tolerance policies have further criminalized minor offenses. While schools report high numbers of police officers, research shows this level of policing is unnecessary and disproportionately impacts minority students, making them feel like criminals and deterring them from attending school.
The document discusses several cognitive factors that can influence jury decision making, including serial positioning effects and groupthink. It provides examples of how the order of evidence presentation (primacy vs recency effects) and group dynamics can impact verdicts. Specifically, it describes an experiment where judges watched a mock trial with different orders of witness testimony, and found the alibi witness was more likely to influence decisions when presented first or second compared to third. The document also discusses how group cohesiveness, insulation, leadership and norms can contribute to flawed group decision-making through failure to critically examine all information.
