A Melbourne Christian school’s refusal last year to admit a five-year-old Sikh boy because of his turban is wrong and is a violation of the Equal Opportunities act, according to a tribunal’s ruling.
On Sep. 19, the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) ruled in favor of Sagardeep Singh Arora and his wife Anureet in their complaint against Melton Christian College’s (MCC) refusal to enroll their son Sidhak because he wears a patka (children’s turban). The tribunal found that the school discriminated against the Sikh boy and that its ban on the headdress was wrong, the AAP detailed.
“Whilst MCC is a Christian school, it has an open enrolment policy which means that it accepts enrolments of students from other faiths,” said VCAT member
In an efforts to uphold the highest level of integrity, and in the fullest consideration of the mission of MCC this comprehensive financial plan has been developed. I am hopeful that this plan with put MCC back in the driver's seat at the forefront and the one of the PRIME higher educational institutions in Massachusetts. For your review and careful consideration, I have provided recommendations and rationale for the revitalization, amelioration and the future sustainability of Marian Court College.

WINDSOR - Yesterday, February 21, 2017, student’s from F.J. Brennan Catholic High School spoke out about their food choices in the school cafeteria. F. J. Brennan’s Student Council held a formal protest in the cafeteria at lunch yesterday demanding that the school offer healthier lunch options.
In 2013 Nazareth College located in Rochester, NY was awarded the Presidential Award for Community Service, based largely on an innovative education summer program for urban youth that included service-learning classes. In the same year this program was terminated and service-learning faculty had to advocate in order to maintain a director level for the Center for Service Learning. These paradoxical events indicate the ongoing opportunities and challenges for institutionalizing engaged learning, service, and scholarship at tuition-driven institutions. The case highlights strategic
I think we all agree that education needs to be equal across the board but it not. I think the ruling is unfair, because I think access to a god education should be a right, not an option.
Mr. Jubran took his case to the court and alleged that the school Board had violated the British Columbia Human Right code by discriminating him on the grounds of sexual orientation (Black,
Opponents of mental health screenings believe that schools should not be required to offer screenings because it is an invasion of privacy. They have the idea that schools should not be involved with students’ personal lives and, therefore, should not offer screenings. Jeff Deist, a spokesperson for former U.S. Congressman Ron Paul, worried about having private information on children’s school records. He also claimed that giving mental health screenings would provide the government with a way to interfere with lives by having access to the relationship between parents and their children (qtd in Ashford 2). Those like Deist believe that if schools provided screenings, there would be government interference with students’ lives and their parents’
I want to withdraw from Sacred Heart University because I had an awful year due to my former roommate Annabelle Crane. She put me through a lot when she got kicked out of Sacred Heart University for her drug overdose incident which resulted in her harassing me for almost 6 months straight which the police had to get involved and an investigation case took place. Not only that I went though so much emotional distress this year, I had to change my permanent phone number because she kept giving my number out to other people and they kept harassing me and sending threats causing me to struggle in my academic when I know I could have gotten better grades my freshmen year. Worst thing the way this school handled this situation in a way as if it
Allan Bakke was denied admission to be considered to University of California-Davis Medical School. In offer to be accepted, a student must have no less than a 2.5 GPA, have good science grades, and have high MCT scores, letters of recommendation, and numerous extra-curricular activities. If all of their prerequisites are met, an applicant then must participate in an interview with the college. Bakke scored 468 out of a total of 500 points on his interview and was not accepted. He then applied again the next year and received 549 out of 600 points, but was again turned away. Afterward Bakke had found out that 16 students with lower test scores were accepted before him. All 16 students were considered ethnic minorities and were accepted based on their color of skin, as allowed by the policies of affirmative action. Bakke took his case to the Supreme Court, arguing he was not treated equally and was turned away because of his ethnicity. The Supreme Court found that in the case of the University of California Regents v. Bakke, the defendant’s equal protection rights were indeed violated.

Bakke” case. Allan Bakke sued the University of California for denying him admission into the Davis Medical School on racial grounds. Bakke was a qualified applicant but was denied admission because the university held 16 spots for disadvantaged minorities, and 84 slots for white students. Since the 84 slots were all taken Bakke was rejected. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Bakke because the institution was in direct violation of the Equal Protection Clause by using race as a sole determining factor in his admissions application. This case law impacts higher education because it reveals how favoring one race over another is unconstitutional and it hinders diversity because all races should have been able to apply for any the 100
In this case study, lots of questions were left unanswered. Such as were the discussion sessions still held?, When FNP appealed the case were they successful?, and did this confrontation change the way UNC approach the book selection for their Summer Reading program in years to come?. I wish this case study included the answers to these questions. However, this case study did illustrate how a prejudice toward a religion can effect even the educational

Western aid is known to fail to reverse poverty in poor nations for many reasons. The poor nations cannot continue to provide the aid that the western nations were able to give them. There is no real source of income from the poor nations to provide for the aid talked about in our textbook Think Twice such as pesticides for crops or contraceptives. These things were only ever able to be provided through assistance and donations. The aid provided by the westerners ultimately fails because it cannot be sustained. The aid also takes away the control of the poor because they are no longer able to provide for themselves. This causes them to feel helpless which has no positive effect on reversing poverty. Although the Western Aid only has good intentions
Even “the Court of Hazelwood gave discretion to school officials to Censor, if there is a ‘reasonable’ educational justification, any expression that does not properly reflect the school’s educational
