...Discrimination Legislation Vernecia Denson American Intercontinental University March 10, 2012 In this paper, you will learn and know how to recruit for a more diverse work team. The word affirmative action will be recognized and defined. You will learn what the initial intent of Affirmative-Action legislation was and why it was created. We will distinguish what the positive and negative results of the Affirmative Action legislation and is this legislation still appropriate today. We will learn what the landmark of Bakke v. Regents case included and how it applied and ties in with affirmative action. We will see what was the basis for the conclusion of this case? When thinking about discrimination in the workforce, the words affirmative action comes to mind. Affirmative action was a law put into action to take positive steps that would increase the representation of minorities and women in areas of employment, education, and businesses from which in historical times were excluded (Fullinwider, 2009). Affirmative action wanted to increase not noticing the basic structures based off of race, gender, or ethnicity when making decisions (Fullinwider, 2009). This action is still around till this day.

...British study, released last week, gives new empirical support for the drive to provide affirmative action to “strivers,” less advantaged students who, despite obstacles, perform fairly well academically. The research finds that students who attended regular “comprehensive” (public) secondary schools did better in college than those who scored at the same level on standardized admissions exams and attended “independent” (private) or “grammar” (selective public) schools. Pointing to the study last week, Oxford University’s dean of undergraduate admissions, Mike Nicholson, created waves when he declared that students who do well at poor performing secondary schools “may have more potential” than those from more-advantaged schools, and that universities should consider the context in which students compile an academic record. In the United States, universities have claimed for years that admissions officers consider socioeconomic obstacles a student has overcome, though evidence suggests that on average, at the most selective 146 institutions, they do not. The new study, published by the British National Foundation for Educational Research and the Sutton Trust, a private foundation, was five years in the making and examined 8,000 students. It found that students from independent or grammar schools performed the same in college as comprehensive-school students who scored one or two grades lower on their entrance exams (known as A-levels). For example, a comprehensive-school student...

...Administrative Ethics: A Case Study Social media, such as Facebook and Twitter, have professional uses. However, there is increasing concern over misuse of social media. In The New York Times article “When Med Students Post Patient Pictures” Cohen (2011) describes a situation in which a medical student posts a comical picture of a patient with rebar in his abdomen. The student uploads the picture to Facebook with the caption “a 5-foot-9 Hispanic male walks into a bar” (para. 1). Additionally, the article states that battlefield humor is a common response by many medical professionals, but this does not diminish the doctor-patient privilege of confidentiality. Even though no identifiable patient information is on display, Cohen (2011) indicates that “the chances of that happening increase as the injuries depicted grow more grotesque and less commonplace” (para. 2). Although one can easily surmise the medical student’s actions are both illegal and unethical, his or her actions have further-reaching implications. Facts Legality Like Cohen, Hernandez (2011) agrees “the weirder and more specific the facts, the greater the chances are of identifying who’s involved” (para. 3), and the poster violates the AMA Code of Medical Ethics “which these future physicians ought to emulate” (para. 5). The American Medical Association (AMA) has many Opinions in its Code of Ethics in regard to the protection of patient privacy. However, there are three Opinions that exemplify the need...

Education comes within the meaning of charitable purposes. • Article 28(1) – prohibits educational institution, maintained out of state funds to provide religious instructions. Moral education can be given. Article 28(2) is an exception to article 28(1) , where in an endowment or trust administered by state can impart religious instruction written in the terms of the endowment. In such a case 28(1) doesn’t apply. • Article 30 gives right of minorities to establish and administer institutions of its choice. But this right is not absolute.

...were considered to be the caretakers and the nurturer’s of one’s family. Decades ago, nursing was not even considered as a career. Nursing was considered to be a job that was undesirable and unwanted. There was no education for nurses until Florence Nightingale created “Nightingale Training School for Nurses at St. Thomas’s Hospital in London in 1860” (Cresaia & Friberg, 2011, pg. 4). Today, there are different degrees that may be obtained through the educational profession of nursing, The Associates Degree of Nursing (ADN) and the Baccalaureates Degree of Nursing (BSN). There are differences in acquiring each degree just like there is a difference in competencies between the two. When a student decides to go into the program of nursing, that student will have to choose between the two degrees by learning about various education requirements * Not yet rated Anonymous - 10 minutes later In the United States, there is a plethora of job opportunities available for nurses. This can be attributed to the increasing need for medical assistance in response to the burgeoning number of aging people. Hence, many aspiring nurses deem time to be at a premium when it comes to nursing studies. One of the fastest ways to get quality education as a nurse is an associate's degree in nursing or an ADN degree. In some states in the United States, an associate's degree can also qualify you to sit for the national council licensure examination for registered nurses; hence, enabling...

A regular graduate student may concurrently hold an appointment as a research assistant, teaching assistant, or instructor. To be admitted as a regular graduate student, an applicant must have earned a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent from a college, university, or technical school of acceptable standing.
