Just days ago the American Anthropological Association began voting on whether to boycott Israel. Much debate has surrounded boycotts since the American Studies Association (ASA) endorsed an Israel boycott two years ago. Aren’t boycotts completely antithetical to the mission and values of academia? Don’t boycotts directly violate academic freedom? The American Association of University Professors, the American Council on Education, the American Association of Universities, 134 members of Congress
that was interviewed in this film was African American. This represents the views by DuBois that blacks were seen as second-class citizens. Also, we learned that some of these vendors were forced into the business due to a criminal record, leading to them being able to get most jobs in society. Even without a criminal record, some African Americans still have a hard time finding jobs in society. In studies of race, Pager proved that African Americans who did not have a criminal record were less likely
city in the country, amongst the happiest college students, and it even has a chipotle close to campus- the only issue? I had never heard of it in my life. I was born and raised in Montclair, New Jersey and my high school sends students to top universities across the country year after year, yet I was the first student to go to Rice in nearly 10 years. Rice is an amazing institution, and I believe that its largest flaw is that not enough people are not aware of this outside of Texas.
Critique on Jane McGonigal Ge Yang Fresno City College Critique on Jane McGonigal The speech that I am critiquing on is Jane McGonial’s “Gaming can make a better world”. The grade that I would give Jane on her speech would be an A. This is because she made a very good impression on me and the audience. The six reasons that she used to support her opinion on why gaming can make a better world were really reliable, true, and funny. Jane also did not only have reasons, but made a few funny comments
I am very proud to be a student of Minnesota State University, Mankato, where big ideas meet real world thinking. The school offers a wide variety of opportunities and diversity for every student.

Schooling Universities and colleges across the country, as well as the world, have one goal. This goal is to educate citizens to the best of their ability. Although they all have the same objective, each of these schools has a different approach from all the others. One aspect of education that is constantly changing is technology. These changes can occur from school to school, or within a specific school. I have chosen to research and compare the different approaches of several universities from both
Over the course of the recent past, universities across the U.S. have been faced with decisions on admissions. What was once popular, affirmative action, is now fading with a long past of problems, and new programs are entering into the picture. The University of Dayton and many others are taking actions to improve the standards of their students, regardless of race and background. These new concepts are reflecting higher academic progress, and increase in prestige and national reputation. By

My time here at Iowa State University has been great! The aspects that make it great are embedded in the values that Iowa State represents. The Memorial Union has shaped my experience at Iowa State in many ways. This is where I eat lunch everyday, meet friends, and occasionally listen to a mind stimulating lecture. When I first came to Iowa State, I was very oblivious to the fact that maybe a building could influence my experience. I was wrong. The Memorial Union has always focused on developing
Iowa State has added to the building multiple times over the time span, in fact the university is planning to have another addition in the next couple of years (Building). “In the Memorial Union's 80+ year history, eleven additions have gone on to all sides of the original structure, the most recent opening in the spring of 2008” (Building)

“MU” and where the great welcome of the “Iowa State University” sign is. Getting to know the surroundings Is one thing but getting to know more about them is another. On the other hand, the place I found myself referring to, noticing far away, and meeting some of the best people called my friend was at the tall pointed building behind the sign of Iowa state called the

The University of Michigan Should NOT Use Affirmative Action Imagine, your walking down the street looking for a job. You see a sign in the window that says, “Whites encouraged to apply.” Imagine the period in time when just being white got you into a college, without any other considerations of grades or athletic ability. Those were the days of the Jim Crow laws. Now these instances have happened in the past 20 years, through new laws called Affirmative Action. The big argument is over these
The University of Maryland names the majority of its campus’s buildings after the legacies of influential alumni and world scholars. Most would assume that the activities that occur in each of these buildings would be a representation of the namesake, however, that is not true for the Skinner Building. Current students at the University of Maryland know the Skinner Building as home to the Communication, Philosophy and Nutrition and Food Science departments, but William Woolford Skinner did not concentrate
Integrative Behavioural Couple Therapy (IBCT) is a new approach to couple’s therapy suitable to couples that cohabitate.
