Introduction

The Civil Right Restoration Act of 1987, also known as Groove City Bill, is a US bill, which dealt with governing of the federal money in the institutions in order to guarantee the execution of civil rights (Safransky, 2017). Its main task was to bring non-discrimination laws back into action. On February 1987, Senator Kennedy introduced the ‘Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987’ (Lewis & Dale, 1988). The act was one of the most important legislative documents at that time. Its significance can be compared to the 1972 Amendments. The Act deals with three federal laws. They are the Title ...

Higher education refers to the post-high school studies that occurs, especially at a college or university and it should be provided on a non-discriminative basis. Students from all social classes and races should have a right of access to higher education. In other words, higher education should be equally accessible to all, based on the capacity available as well as qualifications of the eligible students. As Altbach, Patricia and Robert (97) posit, higher education in some American colleges and universities has been inaccessible to some members of the society since resources and opportunities available are being directed mainly to ...

Market research entails any organised efforts to collect information about customers and market targets. It is an essential component of business strategy. It is concerned with marketing processes. In most instances, marketing research is a strategy that is used to maintain competitiveness over competitors (Wenzel, 2012). Marketing research provides integral information to identify and scrutinise the market size, market needs, and competition. Organizations and businesses can employ various aspects of advanced marketing research to remain competitive and to deal with intense competition in their industries (Beall, 2010).

Level of Education in Nursing

Level of Education in Nursing The nursing profession plays a huge role in delivering evidenced-based, safe, and high quality health care to patients. To be able to this, nurses must have the knowledge and skills that must be updated with the latest development in the medical field (Boz Yuksekdag, 2015). In the year 2010, the Institute of Medicine released a report that contains recommendations for the future of the nursing profession. It technically recommends the nurses’ continuance of knowledge through educational programs (Gooch, 2015). As a nurse, it is important to follow IOM’s recommendations to be aware of ...

Firstly, the previously existing problem of the minority students, who were often denied opportunities to live in on-campus or off-campus housing and facilities, was resolved as a result of Title III of Act, since under it the attorney general can himself file suit about the denial of use of public facilities, and the lack of funds for effective legal representation has become not a problem anymore (Safransky, 2010). Secondly, the access of anyone, irrespective of race, color, or national origin to the participation in the higher educational program, financed from the federal funds, has been assured. What is more, ...

Based upon what I have seen and heard during the last Presidential election, Bernie Sanders has emerged as my favorite political leader, whereas the newly-elected President Donald Trump fills me with shame and abhorrence to be a young college student. My opinion about these two men surrounds one issue: tuition-free four-year colleges and their unique stances on this significant issue. During the campaign trail, at rallies and lectures across the US, a big part of Senator Sanders’s appeal to younger voters was his promise to make four-year colleges tuition-free. According to Schramm & Stoetzer (2015), Sanders introduced a Congressional ...

In the past 3 decades, there has been a significant increase in nurse shortage with the numbers expected to fall even more by the end of 2020. Most researchers, healthcare managers, and nurse leaders assume that the issue has been resolved but the truth is it is far more disastrous. Nursing shortage has many negative implications within the healthcare system. Registered nurses have a high demand in the market place, wherein the current RN workforce of over 2.7 ˘million is expect to grow above 3.5 million by 2022 (AACN 2014). Due to the increasing number of elderly patients, acute ...

Part 1

Part 2 I agree with Akers & Chingos (2014) that, “increases in lifetime incomes of college-educated Americans have more than kept pace with increase in debt loads.” According to their research, the average household with student debt has experienced an increase in annual income of $7400 while total debt increased by only eighteen thousand dollars. The statistics show that income of educated Americans has been increasing at a faster rate than the increase in student debt and the increased annual income can pay the additional debt within two to three years (Akers & Chingos, 2014). The increase in borrower’s income ...

Introduction

Senator Kennedy introduced the Civil Right Restoration Act of 1987 on 20 February 1987 (Lewis & Dale, 1988). This Act amended title IX, which prohibited the discrimination of sex. In addition, it influenced Vocational Rehabilitation Act, Age Discrimination Act, and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Robinson, Allen, Franklin, 1989). Title IX deals with the Education Amendments (1972). It defines the following entities, which use Federal funds: local and State government instrumentality; universities, colleges, and all the other institutions of public higher education; corporations, and private organizations. Religious organizations do not belong to this list (S.557, 1988).

Abstract This is a research paper that presents connections between family’s part in the process of becoming a successful adult. It concentrates on answering specific questions: “How do families with all their complexity influence their children’s psychological development since the early childhood? In what way are the family background and students’ academic achievements (successful/unsuccessful life) related?” These questions are answered through analysis of a group of 15 people from different familial backgrounds, each of whom had a simple task of telling about their childhood experience. Information obtained is later compared and contrasted with various scholarly studies of ...

Discussion Question 1

Professional socialization involves the interaction between health providers and their colleagues and the interaction between the health provider and the patient, family, groups, or communities. In the healthcare workplace, professional socialization occurs through nurses working together in a specific department to ensure total and quality delivery of care that ensures positive outcomes. Nurses help one another solve health care problems, assist each other during shifts, and share knowledge and skills about on how to deliver quality care. On the other hand, professional socialization between nurses and patients occur when both have close relationships. The Orlando’s ...

Introduction

The Civil Right Restoration Act of 1987 also known as Groove City Bill was a US legislative act that focused on governing the recipients of federal funds so as to comply with civil rights laws in all areas (Safransky, 2017). It was enacted to protect the Title IX and Title VI of 1964, which govern institution’s wide operation. The 1987 Act contains three additional federal laws, which are Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Age Discrimination Act of 1975, and Title VI, which was created to fight discrimination involving recipients of federal financial assistance (Robinson, ...

Is the Current Student Loan Policy in the United States Fair and Equitable?

Is the Current Student Loan Policy in the United States Fair and Equitable? The student loan policy tries to accommodate the needs of various students through grants, borrowing limits, loans, and federal work-study programs among others (Blumenthal, n.d.). Despite its effort to improve the affordability of education for all, there is still a challenge that hinders the fairness and equitability of the policy in the USA. The high interest rates scare students who are uncertain about their ability to repay the loans. Many post-traditional learners who seek educational advancement, for instance, work in low-paying jobs. It makes it difficult ...

Introduction

A strategic plan is contextually defined as a piece of documentation that describes an organization’s process of foreseeing an anticipated future, the details of which are then delineated into goals and a vision for the organization. A strategic plan also includes an explication of how to achieve the stipulated goals, in a specific and concise manner. Steiner (2008) calls strategic planning an “indispensable act” in endeavor for high quality management of any institution. A subset of strategic planning is strategic management, which essentially offers guidance as well as direction as far as strategic planning at organization level is ...

We have recently come to a time where college education has grown to mean little apart from the increasing concern over high college tuition. Maybe it is only fair given the unreasonably huge cost which the colleges are charging, one which is rising even faster than inflation itself. But it is worth exploring the true benefit which is beyond the monetary cost itself here. College is far beyond its worth in money and people from previous generations are quite likely to be in agreement of what college meant and the benefits that it brought into their lives. With all ...

Discussion Questions on the Institutions of Higher Education

Discussion Questions on the Institutions of Higher Education

Nowadays, the emerging “for profit” institutions become a popular alternative to the traditional “non for profit” higher educational institutions. The for-profit-sector, as Lloyd Armstrong claims, “has not made the mistake of equating program quality either with the level of prior educational attainment of entering students, or the fraction of applicants who are rejected” (Armstrong, 2010). Thereby this strategy and a greater innovativeness of the institutions result in a great interest to them among the working adults and the members of minority groups. Considering their students as the clients, for profit organization ...

Summary of Introduction

Summary of Introduction The Education framework provided by Baccalaureate Education for Professional Nursing prepares nurses for the professional task ahead. Its essentials’ endorsement by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing has led to changes in the health care delivery system (AACN, 1998). Nursing can cause changes to the delivery of health care services. According to Nelson, Batalden, & Godfrey (2007), a change in healthcare services is essential in enhancing the health care results. However, there is a shortage of nurses in the U.S that is expected to rise, due to the increased demand of distinctive nursing services. Therefore, nursing ...

The Cost of Education

Introduction The cost of education has spiraled higher in the recent past, and this trend is not surging down anytime soon. However, the impacts of the high cost of education have restricted a majority of academically potential students in the cold as having no chance to compete for some top-rated Colleges and Universities. Notably, the middle-class has been hit so hard by the rising cost of education since they are not capable of funding their children’s education in the prestigious Colleges, and at the same time not so poor to have the necessary merit for the education subsidies. ...

There are several strategies to improve environmental health. One of the strategies is green mobility. Green mobility involves minimizing the energy consumption when it comes to transportation. For instance, it involves using alternative methods of transportation that do not result in air pollution, such as the use of a bicycle. In addition, we can ensure the placement of quality standards for the biological, chemical and physical features of drinking water (Van der Staal, 2011). Some of the tests and stated limits are the ones that relate to the pH and microorganisms, which include the marker agents like Cryptosporidium, faecal ...

Abstract

Nursing competencies are the benchmarks that identify the changes needed by nurses as they dispense their professional duties. Based on the changing demands across various avenues, the role of the nurse is confined to the basic demands of the profession as a way of enhancing and generating the kind of importance needed to boost patient safety. Working with American Association of Colleges of Nurses (AACN) and Quality, Safety Education for Nursing (QSEN) creates a different way of addressing competencies amongst nurses. The aspect of patient-centered care as denoted by QSEN shows a need to recognize the importance of the ...

Making the decision to obtain a college degree can be quite overwhelming and requires a lot of commitment. However, the general consensus is that the concept of social class in America today is largely determined by the level of education one acquires in life. This aspect can significantly influence one’s destiny and life chances in such a society. For instance, a college degree is becoming more crucial for a person’s career development. Nevertheless, even if the choice to acquire this level is driven by financial or personal preference, it can have extreme outcomes on the line of ...

Discrimination legislation

Even in modern day society, issues of religious discriminations still mar working environments and that should be an issue of concern. Different adherents are affected by what managers in different communities decide to be the basis of their employment terms and conditions. Rather than have a singular platform that allows more people to appreciate the changing strategies as part of addressing their religious discriminations that appear as part of addressing legal policies as defined by the constitution. Based on Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, religious conditions should not be included if the applicant’s religion ...

The positive aspects of Booker T. Washington’s position on the assimilation of blacks into the free communities of the United States revolve around his recognition of the rigid color line that existed at the time. Even with a Civil War tarnishing the nation’s history, traditions remained unchanged and white supremacy was the epitome of American cultural norms. To that end, Washington’s argument that persons of African descent ought to “cast down [their] bucket where [they were]” is perhaps the best advice anybody could have given the ex-slaves (1895, par.4). After all, the abolition of slavery not ...

Importance of Nursing Theory

Introduction Nursing, in general, refers to the nurturing and caring for a sick person. But over the years, such duties are institutionalized and carried out in a professional and scientific manner. Today, nursing has become a specific profession. Nurses are formally educated in their field and trained in the science and art of nursing, which have been developed over the years of study and research. Although, one does not need to have a background in the nursing profession in order to perform such task, caring and nurturing becomes more effective for those who are knowledgeable and experienced in nursing. ...

New business owners often find themselves facing issues they had not previously considered when starting a business. Many new owners have recognized the need for their product or service and have identified a market for it. They are prepared for that aspect; it is how they came to start their own business. Other aspects however, such as accounting, employee oversight, and taxes are areas where most people have little expertise without actively taking the time to learn about these issues, but where many of the struggles small business owners face are originated (Collamer, n.d.).

Imagining a family whose income is $100,000 per year with a burden of repaying student loans, I think it will make perfect sense if the payer defaults. The priorities in a family set up should be listed in an order of necessity and importance, and before one gets to repaying loans, he has to sort expenses like rent and food as well as clothing. Other necessities in this list will include budgeting for gas fuel and other facilitation costs. If the income is not enough to cover for these expenses, then it is perfectly okay for the loanee ...

Conditions That Will Exist If Tuition Is kept Below Equilibrium Price When the tuition is set at a fee which is below the equilibrium, the demand will be more than the supply; thus there will be a distress situation that is not conducive to education. This would show a good effort by the government, as people will see it as a show of constructive and admirable strength by the government to make education relatively cheap. The effect of this is an increase in the number of students’ intake and in a great way and educated society. This situation is ...

The major events of the U.S. civil rights movement from 1948 to 1970 caused a profound change in the American society and culture by challenging the White superiority myth. The success of desegregation in particular professional areas demonstrated that Blacks could also perform traditionally white activities, and even perform them better. Furthermore, the desegregation of the first schools challenged the myth of the intellectual superiority of Whites. African American students could demonstrate that they could keep up with Whites, and they could soon flourish in the public arena, to the extent that they were allowed to do so. Finally, ...

Lifelong Learning in the United States and Japan

Lifelong learning is a concept that emerged in the 1960s after intellectual radical student movements demanded new modes of education that encourage pluralism, diversity, and individual freedom (Young & Rosenberg, 2006). According to the Commission of the European Community, the concept embodies formal learning, informal learning, and non-formal learning. Formal learning is carried out in recognized educational and training settings and results in the acquisition of legally recognized academic qualifications. Nonformal learning takes place where one works or within the activities of civil societies or organizations and one does not get legally recognized qualifications. Informal learning occurs as a consequence ...

Can colleges and universities increase their tuition rates continuously, despite the suffering they cause students? This issue can be and has been tackled by economics – specifically; we can use the tools offered by the study of price elasticity of demand to see what colleges take into consideration before raising their prices. The reaction of students to the increasing tuitions and other expenses might be a driving force on the demand side for higher education. If the students believe that higher education’s high costs will not create a value equal to or less than its cost, they might prefer ...

In the modern day setting, wrongdoing has become synonymous with the operations of various multinational corporations. With some individuals within and outside such organizations still conscious regarding ethics, whistle-blowing or dissent has increasingly become frequent. A context affected by this scenario is the United States’ collegiate sport. Whistle-blowing here has become common due to the feeling that the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) is very ineffective in its mandate. This paper argues that the feminist standpoint theory and the perspective that takes into account the input of external stakeholders are essential in characterizing dissent in this context.

Premise In the 70s & 80s, college costs used to rise at a slower rate than the cost of other services. But early in the 1990s, for some reasons, the price of college started to rise at a faster rate than the price of other services. For example: In 1971, the tuition fee of Harvard was around one-fourth of the median annual household income of $10,285. But in today’s world, the tuition fee has risen to the full value of the median annual household income to pay the full fee. For filling their tuition fee, millions of college ...

Introduction

Using Evidence of Student Learning to Improve Higher Education, written by accomplished and known scholars, highlights the fact that students can acquire effective and useful learning only when educational institutions across the United States focus on transferring knowledge to students, rather than administer instruction with the sole objective of complying with state and donor funding regulations (Kuh et al., 2014). To this end, this paper focuses on the pivotal role of teachers in ensuring that their students are actively engaged in the pursuit of real knowledge that will help them in their career and future studies, as opposed to ...

The skills provided by community colleges are paramount if we are to meet the threshold required for jobs in the future. These jobs will need an associate degree or more, rather than the current jobs that can be done even without the attainment of a college degree. These associate degrees have a credential of two years thus are less expensive and favor the young people from poor backgrounds (Brand & Xie, 2010). The aim of the free community college is to boost an individual’s income through a solid background in education. Given the declining rates of enrollments in colleges, ...
