Pros And Cons

As you mentioned passing the bill became possible “with the help of all the advocates.” Former presidents for generations tried to improve the health care, and finally President Obama took the last step and signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act to give people “basic security when it comes to their health care.”

An offer is a representation of willingness to contract on certain terms. Offer must be made with an intention and it will become binding upon acceptance. Some offers anticipate not another promise being returned in exchange, however, the performance of an act or forbearance from taking action. The person is making an offer is called the offeror, and the person to whom the offer is made. It called offeree. A communication will be treated as the offer if it stimuli the terms on which the offeror is prepared to make a contract such as the price of goods for sale, and it gives a clear indication that the offeror intends to be bound by those terms if they are accepted by the offeree.

In the faculty world, tenure is good. It's seen as an almost sacred concept that leads to the highest-quality instruction, ground-breaking research, and institutional loyalty in the nation's colleges and universities.

To be an adjunct professor means several troubling things, one being that most part-time educators are not paid a wage in which they can make a living off of (Fruscione 3). According to a survey by Pacific Standard the national average salary a part time professor receives annually is $20,000 (McKenna 2). Troubling statistics reported by the American Association of University Professors claims that from the mid 1970’s to 2011, hiring of part-time staff rose by 286 percent; of full-time non staff professionals rose by 369 percent (Fruscione 3). Now that there is a greater reliance on non-tenured professors, data from Brave New Films informs us that between the years 1970 to 2008 salary decreased by 49 percent for part-time faculty and

Although both passages introduce good arguments, I am undecided about witch one I shall agree with. The first one seems as if the GatesburgGoGreen Initiative is a very good ideal. As the second points out all of the major flaws in the Initiative. In my person opinion the initiative is a little ridiculous, and heres why. The fact remains that we already recycle. 95% of lead and 70% of steel. If you ask me then I think we are doing a dman good job. The entire initiative seems like its being forced, you will be given 3 trash bins for different items. Who wants to have 3 trash cans in there home to sperate the trash. And on top of that, as I take a statement out of the second article, what happens when someone makes a mistake and puts the wrong

In order to reach tenure at Bellarmine University, teachers must pass a third year review in which their teaching, research, and service are evaluated. After five years, if they meet the conditions, then the faculty member achieves tenure. However, it has been noticed that once a professor reaches tenure, then they become unmotivated. Achieving tenure decreases the pressure to publish and to meet high standards when teaching.

A research study on the employment status of instructional staff members in higher education in the fall of 2011, found that between 1975 and 2011, the rate of tenured and tenure-track faculty had dropped by 12 % while the rate of contingent faculty had gone up by 17%. Overall, by 2011, 60% of the American teaching staff in higher education were adjunct professors (AAUP, 2011). Greenberg (2014) indicated that more than 1.3 million contingent faculty constituted 75% of all college and university teachers. Furthermore, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) reports that from Fall 1993 to Fall 2013, the number of full-time faculty in degree-granting postsecondary institutions increased by 45% (from 545,700 to 791,400), while the number of part-time faculty increased by 104% (from 369,800 to 752,700). Despite the increased number of adjunct faculty, Kezar and Maxey (2012) concluded that little is known about this group, and as such, more studies are needed to enable administrators of institutions of higher learning to understand the dynamics of adjunct

Tenure is a critical aspect to the education system in America. When students take a course with a tenured professor, they are 7 percent more likely to take a second course in that given field and they also tend to receive higher grades in later courses (the Atlantic). Contingent faculty are not able to develop meaningful relationships with students who are less interested or invested in certain courses, typically seen in general education courses (Lawrence). Recently, within the past twenty years, colleges and universities have switched over to adjunct faculty being the primary source of teaching. Tenured faculty are expensive because they are guaranteed employment for life as long as they meet their research, service, and teaching obligations. Some universities cannot continue to hire faculty members and provide them with lifelong employment as it is expensive to maintain. The way around this is to hire adjunct or termed faculty. These professionals are paid entirely to teach and do not have to worry about the pressures of research and service (The Atlantic).

That is the reason behind the individual mandate: reduce the risks associated with adverse selection. Those without coverage would pay a penalty of greater than $695 per year up to a maximum of three times that amount with some exemptions for affordability, financial hardship, religious objections, Native Americans, and other reasons (KFF, 2013, p. 1). The mandate is the least popular provision of the ACA and has been the source of political contention (Chandra, Gruber, & McKnight, 2011, p. 293).

n my current workplace, we try to focus on doing things for the long haul, and not succumbing to the pressures of the quarterly report. In the student housing industry, this is important in order to be able to stay successful for years to come, as we typically sign year long leases, which showcases the idea to "create consistency and continuity of purpose," (Manning & Curtis, 2012). This forces us to concentrate on the long haul and not the short term. It is important that we keep the short term in mind to keep our residents happy and wanting to stay, and as Deming said, "We hope for quick results, but we must not expect them," (Neave, 1990). Another interpretation of the first point is to "Provide constant improvement of products and

The understanding of faculty is vitally important, especially for students and those wanting to pursue a career in education. Initially, there are two types of faculty, tenure track faculty and non-tenure track faculty. A tenure track is a position permitted after a probationary period to an employee. The probationary period typically lasts five to six years and in the duration of that time they are being evaluated by other tenure faculty, having inside and outside arbiters review their scholarship and also having their overall enactment being observed by deans, chairmen, and an oversight committees. Tenure track faculty includes those that are assistant professors, associate professors, and professors. An assistant professor is typically right out of college and has their doctoral degree, Ph.D., or EDD. An associate professor typically has at least 5 to 7 years of full-time teaching experience and during that time they must excel in areas such as teaching, service and professional pursuit. Typically, if you’re an assistant professor and after 5-7 years you submit your dossier and don’t get 10 years or associate contract you’re fired. Also, a tenure professor generally decides if an assistant professor moves up to an associate professor. A full-time professor, however, is different from an associate and assistant professor because they contribute to the school through several aspects. Those aspects are research, service; such as serving on committees etc., 50% teaching, and

President Alexander argues that higher education budget cuts are the reason why his faculty and students are leaving this institution. He further states that these types of cuts are making it very difficult to retain quality faculty and staff. In support of his claim, he used logical statistics involving five hundred faculty positions lost over a ten-year span: 2006 to 2016. Agreeably, President Alexander has made notable, valid points. The problem has been identified, however, no solutions on his behalf are given. This indicates a potent dependency on the state’s legislature. Often biased arguments, such as President Alexander’s, are centered on the effect instead of the cause of the result. Five hundred faculty positions were lost over a lengthy ten years, but during that tenure, there has been superfluous of private colleges and universities established that offered larger salaries to their newly recruited faculty. Private and Public Universities have one primary distinguishable difference — their source of funding. Similar to a private University, LSU can accept funding from private individuals or donors, but due to LSU being a public institution, it receives public funding from the

First of all what is a concept and why do we need it?. A concept is a way of categorizing and organizing things and situations so that the human mind can function well and doesn't break down. To continue with issue of the status of concept, we have three main options to identify concepts which are mental representation, abilities and abstract objects.

I went to a lens manufacturer-sponsored event where there was a bunch of saber rattling about how much this brand is better, new vs. the old, big vs. the small, etc.

Many items that we used today were technology. Technology no doubt has helped us and the world to advance through times. Technology has helped us a lot in many ways such as making us advancing towards to digital lifestyle, helping advancing in medical ways and much more. No doubt that technology has helped us improved our health and lifestyle. Even though technology is our life saver, they also have their pros and cons. Technology comes from 2 words of ‘techne’ and ‘logy’ which meaning of each ‘craft’ for techne and scientific study of for ‘logy’. When you combine them together, they become what is today technology has offered us. But, like I mention just now, technology has their pros and cons. In this essay of comparison, I will examine the the difference between technology in analog era and technology in digital era. By the end of this essay, a short summary will be
