...Course Date Ch. 4 Question. Do campus speech codes violate student’s right? A speech code in any higher learning institution is a rule or policy that bans expression that would be safe in the community at large. Any rule like pestering policy, a demonstration and protest policy, or an IT standard use policy can be used as a speech code if it bans protected communication or manifestation. Several speech programs impermissibly prevents speech on the base of content and/or perspective. Lately, a decent fear about speaking and sensual actions in learning institutions has reached a climax. Universities have braced guidelines keeping out unpleasant speech naturally directed at ethnic, tribal, and sexual subgroups; engaged it upon themselves by giving trigger cautioning to scholars when courses offered contains contents that might dismay them; excluded sexual actions that may led to rapping cases. In criminal act but are on the unclear condition of force; and limited due process defenses of scholars suspected of violating these instructions. Most of the discussion about language codes, which often ban scholars from making invasive remarks to one another, is much concerned of speech outside of classroom. Two facts should be made while arguing about speech codes amongst campus students. First, pupils who are doomed with the codes and morals on learning institution can take their views to scenes outside of campus to the metropolis near their campus, for example. Second, and most significant...

...s disturbing and brutal than it actually is. But rape is rape: the act of male or female taking sexual control or dominance over a nonwilling participant. It does not matter whether or not people feels comfortable discussing the topic of rape. Uncomfortability does not make a problem disappear. It is possible that rape culture is ignored because no one knows a permanent solution for it. But not talking about it will not fix it. An environment where rape culture prevails is on college campuses. 1 in every 4 college students admit to being raped or sexually assaulted on campus, this number fails to include the thousands of rape victims whose stories are never heard. Rape culture prevails on college campus because only an estimated 35% of these victims’ abusers are dealt with. Of those, only an estimated 20 30% percent are dealt with severely. Colleges ignore the severity rape culture on campus because it is a problem that is extremely difficult to remedy, but ignoring a problem will not solve it. “Culture is vital to the human species, but some cultural patterns are destructive” (Herman 45). Rape culture occurs when a set of values or beliefs create an environment that is conducive to rape. Rape culture does not refer to an actual place or setting, but to a culture that directly and indirectly surrounds and supports rape. _Last Name_ 2 Our daughters are taught to be delicate, thoughtful, quiet and sweet. Our sons are raised to be brutal, to never cry...

...At CCAC Boyce Campus, a short distance from the north entrance, there is a piece of land that is home to little more than some children’s play equipment that goes unused. This underutilized plot (of land?) is prime real estate and could be used for a multitude of much more useful things. I think that the most beneficial use of the space would be a coffee shop. Coffee shops are something that many other schools have on their campuses; CCAC Allegheny Campus is already equipped with a Starbucks in its bookstore and there are plans to add a Starbucks to the North Campus as well (Parrish). Having a Starbucks location at Boyce Campus would provide a pick-me-up to students and faculty, bolster enjoyment, help the school gain prominence and even offer...

...remained at the top of the list every year for a variety of reasons. This list of threats is also unique to college campuses. I will discuss each of the threats in this report. College students love new technology and each year smaller and more powerful devices are hitting the market. Students on the campus have a variety of devices ranging from cell phones, tablets, and laptops. These devices connect to the campus network and are used by students to check email, class schedules, get grades, and many other uses. The challenge is to allow these devices the necessary access and still have a secure network. Each device has to be checked for viruses, spyware, and other types of malware while still maintaining the C-I-A triad. A balance must be found between usability and security. Each time a remote device is connected to the network there is a possibility that the network can be compromised by one these devices. Every device should be authenticated, scanned, and identified. The use of social media has increased in recent years. Students and teachers both use things like Facebook, Myspace, and others. These applications have the potential to transmit malware every time they are used on the campus network. Malware can be embedded in everything from videos to comments. Every time a student or teacher clicks on a video viruses, keystroke loggers, or worms can be installed and start destroying or intercepting data. The infected devices must be identified quickly and the malware removed while...

...Kyle Esber Jordan Betenson Kristin Romanowski Secondary data research Our group believes that putting Redbox kiosks on Kent States campus would have incredible success. The data we are starting to put together involves Secondary data that we have begun to conduct. Secondary Data can be defined as “information that has previously been gathered by someone other than the researcher and/or for some other purpose than the research project at hand”. Our group has already conducted studies and began our own primary data, but having said that, Secondary data is key in proving that Redbox kiosks will be very popular to Kent’s student body. Internal secondary data by Redbox shows that they prefer to only put these kiosks on campuses with at least 15,000 students, says Liana Solis, who has personally attempted the movement of Kiosks on the campus. Obviously Kent State would be perfect for this with an estimated body of 28,000, which nearly doubles the prerequisite of students. Gathering Secondary data for the Redbox kiosks would have several advantages. After we send out our personally made survey, we will continue to use the resources already created and base what we do off that. One advantage of secondary data gathering is how inexpensive and readily available it is. Another advantage is how quick it can be found. The information has already been done, so it’s already there when you look for it. We have found that Redbox would be very popular through online sources (primary...

...Rural Community Presentation Assessment of a community is essential for planning, implementation, and evaluation of programs to improve the health of a population. Our windshield survey provided an informal means of evaluating the community of Grambling, Louisiana. By understanding the essential functions of the community one is allowed to better identify potential needs. My perception of the goals was to “Improve health-related quality of life and well-being for all individuals.” (HealthyPeople.gov). It is noted that people are living longer and promoting well-being emphasizes a person’s physical, mental, and social resources and enhances protective factors and conditions that foster health. One of the objectives that are associated with this goal according to Healthy People 2020 is: “Increase the proportion of adults who self-report good or better physical health.” (HealthyPeople.gov). The second goal to consider is,”Improve access to comprehensive, quality health care services.” (HealthyPeople.gov). An objective for this goal is, “(Developmental) Increase the proportion of persons who receive appropriate evidence-based clinical preventive services.” (HealthyPeople.gov). Both of these goals and objectives are important as the family nurse practitioner is in an excellent position to be an educator of issues relative to the patient’s health. In addition the nurse practitioner is in the position to promote screening and preventative services. The nurse practitioner also must...

...The overall purpose of the article is to gain a better understanding behind the attitudes and personal opinions of having a smoke-free campus. It continues to go into more specific depth regarding a smoke-free campus such as the most effective way to initiate and retain a smoke-free campus. Within this pool of knowledge, it will show some of the main reasoning behind why people that smoke want to keep a campus from becoming smoke-free and will also show people urges behind wanting a campus to become smoke-free. This will give two fully biased views from both complete opposites (a smoke-free campus versus a smoking campus.) Some of the bigger issues that Cho and DeVaney wanted to evaluate the motives behind the college students. This includes the variety of thinking and learning methods, reasons behind their actions, and meanings that give the students their urges towards these actions. By doing so, it will assist in understanding the motives, attitudes, and urges on a deeper level by evaluating “why” they want what they want, and “why” they did what they did. Another issue that the authors wanted to acknowledge is the college students’ reactions as well as their actions. They wanted to understand how the students would react to a change in the smoking policy at their college and what they would do to fix it if they did not like it or how they would help enforce the policy if they did like it. Cho and DeVaney conducted their research in two types of methods: field observation...

...Geog 3740 Jennifer Cypher Thursday, April 4, 2013 Safety at York University Campus Part C: Part D: My research question is “How does York University satisfy the needs of student’s safety that attend the campus.” First I will begin to define the terms “satisfy”, “need”, and “safety” in order to have a clear understanding of what my research topic. When I am addressing the term “satisfy” I mean in what ways of precaution does the university up hold to make them feel at ease throughout the day, the feeling of no fear against any man or woman, what type of protection is the university giving to the students. My second term is discussing the “needs” of students and by this I mean what are the different ways the campus is has provided to students such as posters, emails and safety tips on the bulletin board. The last term is “safety” and by this I mean through protection by security guards, increasing more cameras in less dense areas, or areas with low light during the evening hours. The reason why I chose this research topic is because students and I are noticing lack of security on campus throughout the day and decrease of actions to amplify safety tips or actions towards the students. As crime increases on the York University campus, I would be interested of knowing and understanding where these events are taking place and determining what the solutions or outcome. I have been at this wonderful University for three years now and notice more security presence now then there...

From the list you made, get one concern then analyze its cause/s. Fill up the diagram below NAME: Cabaña, Rosemarie B. COURSE: MPA YEAR: Second Year RESEARCH METHODS Exercise 2 RESEARCH PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION 1. With the problem analysis you made in Exercise 1, which cause of the problem you believe you can do something to resolve it? Why? a. There is no clear-cut policy on the giving of appointments/designations; b. Non-consultation of the key stakeholders (e.g., faculty members, administrative personnel, and students) before coming up with a major decision that would eventually affect the normal operations of the University. The two causes I mentioned in exercise 1 which are reiterated above are the causes of the problem “Suspicious Appointments/Designations of University and Campus Officials” which I believe I can do something to resolve it. The presence of a well-defined policy and the involvement and active participation of the key stakeholders will lead to a more respected and trustful decisions coming from the top management or the central administration. The consultation among said key stakeholders...

...Bonilla a 2009 survey by the Center for Economic and Entrepreneurial found “54% of college students had overdrawn their bank accounts and 81% had underestimated the amount of time it would take to pay off a credit card balance by a large margin”(Bonilla, May 2013, p. 8). Because of the scarcity of financial literacy programs, I made the same mistakes as these first year college students. Bonilla suggest such ideas as having financial awareness events or creating a budget workshops for first year students to promote budgeting campus programming boards can promote Financial Literacy programs at those Universities who have yet to get on board (Bonilla, May 2013). I believe it is an excellent idea to have financial awareness programs to teach students to strategies for managing finances. Such programs will definitely help with achieving the financial goals and securities discussed classroom lessons. References Bonilla, J. (May 2013). Money Talks. Campus Activities Programming. ,...
