1. What factors need to be considered in the rejection of a capping system?
In contrast, capping university places is perceived as unethical by some sectors of the Australian community. Opponents of the capping claim that universities are critical in developing a more cohesive society. Universities have traditionally and consistently played a critical role through its development of policies to enhance social cohesion. In fact, the University of South Australia (2014) stipulates that one of its key policies is designed to enhance awareness, understand and acceptance of diverse cultural groups. This notion of inequity is evident in the interview with a professor from Adelaide University, who stated that any cap would have an inequitable effect as it would tend to favor people more affluent from a particular background and socioeconomic group (Interview; 457321G, 2017). However, tertiary education’s core mission is to present students with and indoctrinate them into diverse disciplines’ ethnicities and

Currently, manufacturing’s hardware and software is comprised of progressive manufacturing project, automation and innovation. **** Argues that the industry today necessitates a greater level of capability and critical intellectual as innovation magnifies sophisticated technologies, professors need to be better educated about their digitally enamored students, and in what way enhanced to influence them with learning procedures to which they can transmit. Preparing for a career in manufacturing is no longer based on following the education standards created 50 years ago. The Australian Government invests $9.7 billion in STEM, research and
The right and privilege to higher education in today’s society teeters like the scales of justice. In reading Andrew Delbanco’s, “College: What It Was, Is, and Should Be, it is apparent that Delbanco believes that the main role of college is to accommodate that needs of all students in providing opportunities to discover individual passions and dreams while furthering and enhancing the economic strength of the nation. Additionally, Delbanco also views college as more than just a time to prepare for a job in the future but a way in which students and young adults can prepare for their future lives so they are meaningful and purposeful. Even more important is the role that college will play in helping and guiding students to learn how to accept alternate point of views and the importance that differing views play in a democratic society. With that said, the issue is not the importance that higher education plays in society, but exactly who should pay the costly price tag of higher education is a raging debate in all social classes, cultures, socioeconomic groups and races.
In India, campuses increasingly becoming diverse, the diversity of student groups and particularly the presence of a high number of lower caste students become a serious concern of campuses. Compositionally diverse campuses might create substantial problems regarding the campus climate and student-to-student relations on racial lines (Smith et al., 1997). The DLE model explains the institutional context (climate for diversity) in which intentional curricular and co-curricular practices educate all the students and enhance the climate for diversity. In other words, improving the campus climate means “institutional transformation”; transformation is a positive change that effectively influences institutional culture, values, staff, policy, and routine operations. Similarly, Milem et al., (2005) concluded diversity and inclusion discourse has moved beyond diverse students, employee groups, and programs as final goals. In fact, they are multilayered processes and initiatives that influence institutional life to achieve the benefits of
An industry that once promoted fairness and attainability was now itself becoming an obstacle to overcome. “American universities are in fact organized according to middle- and upper-class cultural norms or rules of the game and that these norms do indeed constitute an unseen academic disadvantage for first-generation college students transitioning to university settings” (Stephens et. al, 2012). This proposed characteristic serves as an almost uncontrollable and unchangeable disadvantage that students will likely fail to subdue. Institutions should serve as mediating platforms that allow students to start at impartial grounds, where their talents, abilities and connections are the only factors that can influence their
Bourdieu (1997) develops his notion of cultural capital, the learned competence in the valued way of doing things, as a way of explaining this unequal educational performance of students. Those with cultural capital not suited to Australia’s Western educational approaches are less likely to succeed than students with a predetermined skill set ideally suited to Australian education systems. That is to say, the students from minority groups a...

University education and admission to university is not how it was fifty years ago. Now a days, going to university is a normal occurrence in people’s life and not only a select few attend. The article, “Universities for the 21st century” written by Clive Keen and Ken Coates, talks about the different ways that Universities have changed over the years, and how it is the university and professors who need to change their approaches to deal with the implications of “mass university education” (Keen, 2006). In contrast, the article “Heck no, you shouldn’t go” by Andrew Park comments on the article written by Keen and Coates, but takes the stand that it’s not the universities issues if students don’t succeed, but the fact that some students should not be there in the first place. Both articles are important because they both deal with a topic in debate, which is
Diversity in a university is so important. First of all “diversity enriches the educational experience”. Students are able to learn from one another’s experiences. Also diversity helps maturity through most students. With diversity, students are able to learn about the other people’s experiences and are able to break down the stereotypical “walls” that our country has built. While students are breaking down these stereotypical “walls”, students will be able to effectively communicate with others of various backgrounds. As students learn about each other’s hardships or success, they will be capable of reaching a state of mutual respect for one another(On the Importance). “The higher education community stands committed to furthering the goals of equal opportunity and diversity on college...

... and acknowledge dissimilarities. Prejudice, discrimination, and stereotyping have no place in the university, but rather than labeling people who partake in these acts as a racist, it would be in the university’s and student’s best interests to help educate one another on cultural diversity and further their intercultural praxes.
Completing high school education from an illustrious junior college, my academic accomplishments at school earned me admission in Sri Sairam Engineering College, Chennai. Ranked 3rd in the southern region of India by Outlook and The Week, and is affiliated to prestigious Anna University. I am pursuing my bachelors in Production Engineering. I have a commodious curriculum which enunciates on latest manufacturing techniques, production management until my junior year. In my senior year, I have electives like Operation's research, Ergonomics. This opened the gates to the field of Industrial engineering and that moment, I realized that manufacturing alone is not the crux of an Industry but there are many other segments, which have to be given equal importance for the amelioration of the Industry, which made me decide to augment my knowledge to these areas rather than merely focusing on manufacturing.
Lewis shows through Till we have faces, how mercy is given to Orual when God, at last, her eyes are opened to see the truth of her self deception, and how her obsessive love causes her to hurt those whom she professes to care about the most. This mortifying revelation leads Orual to immediately repent of her ways and she is finally redeemed. This novel shows that self deception and obsessive love leads to people hurting those they love. Lewis introduces us to the seeds that begin to cultivate in Orual, a dissatisfaction within herself and her sense of low self esteem. This insecurity is what leads Orual to an obsessive love towards her younger sister, Redival, who is a beautiful girl with golden blonde hair.
The world is a complex mixture of people with diverse languages, skin tones, and cultural differences. These differences are the most evident in human beings. People are classified according to one or more of these differences. But the division gives the impression of being a negative one. Exposing these differences in universities and colleges should not be the source any problems. In fact, exposing these differences should help people understand and at times lend a hand to disadvantaged college students.
“One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men. No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man” (Hubbard 151). Elbert Hubbard, an American writer and the founder of Roycroft Artisan community, predicted the future with his epigram. His maxim would resonate for years to come and would be seen in the future job markets. For thousands of years, technology has fundamentally changed the way we live and interact with our environment. It has brought us from the Stone Age to the Industrial Revolution. It has taken us from the creation of the computer to the landing on the moon. Not only has technology affected the old, but also it has affected the youth. For the old and aged, modern technological innovations have brought about longer lives through medicine and other health care. People today are able to live longer, live stronger, and live happier. As for the youth and growing generations, technology has also affected them in various ways. From entertainment to education, technology has designed a generation that could never have been before imagined. But technology has not stopped there; it also has affected their future. From what careers they will pursue to how much they will earn, technology will play a big role. With the rise of new machines and equipment, thousands of jobs will be created that will range from ones that involve handling the machinery to ones that cannot be done by machinery. However on the other hand, new technology also takes away thousands of other jobs from society. As businesses look for ways to maker bigger profits, they will start replacing workers with machinery that could do the job faster and better. While the amount of unemployed may increase due to the advancement of technology, there will also b...
