Reoccurring Situation At South Louisiana Community College

On November 19, 2014, Rolling Stone Magazine published an article that attracted over 2.7 million views, “more than any other feature not about a celebrity that the magazine had ever published.” The article, “A Rape on Campus: A Brutal Assault and Struggle for Justice at UVA” catapulted the issue of rape culture on college campuses into a national discussion. Encouraging this discussion and urging universities across the country to increase their efforts to combat this was the goal of Sabrina Rubin Erdely when she set out to find a story that encompassed just that. However, the article was ultimately retracted and removed from the website by Rolling Stone due to fabrications and ethical issues in the story.

Students nowadays face many challenges when it comes to obtaining a college education. We evaluate an institution’s quality based on what we need the most. The qualities sought out may vary by each person’s personal point of view. However, as a student, I’ve found that most students seek for an institute that benefits them the most. Attending a community college has been an enormous advantage towards my education. I have been attending San Bernardino Valley College for the last two semesters. I have come to respect their philosophies and values. The institution has now been in business for 87 years. They venture to encourage both students and faculty towards high standards of achievement and progress into exceptional members of the society. They now offer a variety of degrees, transfer programs and certificates for a wide range of students. San Bernardino Valley College has an accomplished staff, student support services and technological tools that pave the road towards the conquest of a quality education.

One weakness of CCM is its cost compared to other public two year colleges in New Jersey. The tuition of the County College of Morris from 2015-2016 is higher than most other public two year college, the disparity being as high as $2903 for out-of-state tuition (State of New Jersey Office of Secretary of Higher Education). Another weakness of CCM is the poor customer service. There are recurring complaints about the institution’s phone service. It seems that often when students call the school, regardless of the urgency of their situation, it is difficult to contact an administrator. Also, administrators are known to be short, unfriendly, and impolite to students over the telephone. Customer service is very important as students need to feel supported. This lack of support may result in a lower retention and academic performance which would reflect negatively on the college. Lastly, CCM lacks a flexible payment plan making it difficult for economically challenged students to meet tuition costs. Though located in the 9th county in the United States with the highest median income, the County College of Morris should make a greater effort to accommodate the minority of students who have trouble meeting the tuition costs

Community college is a great institution for students to start their educational journey. Especially when they do not have the funds or lack some of the prerequisite that a university would require. Community college was created to serve the community, traditional and non-traditional students with the best higher education and lifetime learning opportunities. The faculty and staff members at a community college is there to provide leadership in education while going above and beyond to recognize the needs of the students and the community by providing excellent educational programs and support services that are available to all who have the opportunity to take advantage of them. “Student services now include recruitment and retention, counseling, student activities, student health, financial aid, academic support, career centers, transfer centers, and supplemental services such as transportation, child care, and services tailored for specific populations of students” (Cohen, Brawer, & Krisker, 2014, pg. 209). My philosophy in fulfilling the role and mission of the community college, is to establish the mission, vision, goals and values to guide all students on their journey to strive to become successful both in school and in today’s economy.

Community Colleges were developed with the purpose of providing an affordable and accessible education. By providing students with both academic and learning skills, community colleges continue to remain an essential part of today’s society. Throughout the years, community colleges have continued to develop and transform to provide resources to meet the needs of their students. As new community colleges began to develop, it is critical that they are aware of the political issues that community colleges face. For this assignment, I will discuss the University of District of Columbia Community College and its governance. In addition, I will provide information on federal and local government involvement, leadership structure, political culture, student demographics, and community groups. Lastly, I will provide recommendations on how to address the issue of governance.

It is our hope that this correspondence finds you in pleasant circumstances. It is with great trepidation and frustration that the cohorts of the Dangriga Galen center have found the need to write this letter. After the end of our first year in the Galen Bachelor 's in Education program we find that there are circumstances and situations that have persisted to the disadvantage of the cohorts and have failed to be addressed by the administration of Galen and its staff. Galen recruited us under the guise of "excellence" and with every course we are reminded that it is "excellence" that is also demanded of us. It is with this in mind, that we hope to effectively articulate our concerns and find prompt resolution in order to ensure that we all draw closer to this "excellence". The following are the pressing and urgent matters that we feel must be addressed not only for the betterment of our center cohorts, but for all the cohorts that have entrusted Galen with their valuable time, hard earned money, and academic careers.

Winston Salem, NC 27105. Petree school is a minority school and African American make up over half of the school population. There is about 428 students who attend grades pre-K to fifth. The school is currently surround by very urban community. The majority of the Students that attend school lived in low poverty areas and is very poor. Social economic impact our students lives tremulously so as a school we provide free and reduce lunch for our students.

I know many of you are upset and confused but I want you to be confident that my staff and I are working diligently to design a plan to help improve our school. I want to assure you that we are dedicated to our students and will be 100% invested in your child.

Cypress College offers many student services. However after three semesters at Cypress College I can personally say that the library and LRC are one of the most helpful student services in the entire college. As students we all have different schedules, some of work others have tight schedules that make it seem impossible to go print our or work on that paper we need to do. However the LRC and the Library are open from Monday – Friday from 8:00am to 9:00pm there for allowing students to go in at later hours to work on any assignments they may have. Both the library and the Learning resource center have amazing and friendly staff who are always willing to help you in anything you may need. The library counts with hundreds of book that most defiantly

Ladies and gentleman, we are gathered here to push the human race forward. We believe that by improving the educational system we are investing in our future, that everyone should be able to access the type of education that is right for them. Nowadays America faces a very distressful situation regarding the educational reach of our system, which has been engaged with several issues, such as unequal access to education, student dropouts, violence within the walls of the classroom, bullying, gender bias and standardized tests that put the educational community at the verge of a methodic and old fashion evaluation process which eventually lead to a particular lifestyle of the students. Also, the lack of interest in the matter of community service has been rising, as well as our concern for the safe keeping of the citizen’s humanitarian values.

This paper will provide a brief overview of some of the key areas associated with community college finances. As a public institution, the community college depends upon securing financial revenue from a variety of sources (Kenton, Schuh, Huba, & Shelley, 2004). Those sources include, but are not limited to: state and local appropriations, tuition generation, gifts and grants, auxiliary services, continuing education, and workforce development. Affordable tuition and adequate state funding are essential due to the increasing number of future jobs which will require some form of postsecondary education (Katsinas, D’Amico, & Friedel, 2014). If community colleges are to maintain or exceed their current level of performance and accommodate student access, they need to generate alternative sources of funding (Friedel & Thomas, 2013). Gifts and grants, auxiliary services, continuing education, and workforce development are all excellent examples of alternative sources of funding for community colleges. While this paper will serve to examine quite a few areas associated with community college finances, it is by no means intended to be an exhaustive list.

It is with great pleasure I write this letter in support of Ms. Dora Dassuncao. I have had the opportunity to work closely, as a resource teacher, with Ms. Dassuncao during the Spring of 2016 in her 6th period math class. This class has a high population of students with special needs and to better serve she proposed we co-teach. This willingness to collaborate has been instrumental in the success of these students. I am impressed by Ms. Dassuncao’s ability to work collaboratively to meet the needs of all students. She has never shied away from trying something new in an effort to reach students with differing needs. Ms. Dassuncao has immense content knowledge. She knows how to present material in ways students understand and has high expectations for all of her students.

Universities in Florida are on a mission to put an end to campus assaults. President Barack Obama announced his initiative, where thereafter, the government released sixty-seven schools that are currently under investigation due to campus assault cases (USA Today, 2014). On January 22, 2014, Barack Obama established the White House Task Force to Protect Students from Sexual Assaults. The White House Task Force to Protect Students from Sexual Assaults was created to prevent assaults and help schools better respond to these incidents. Its purpose is to improve the safety of students on college and university campuses.

Rape, still the most underreported crime in America, has seemed to expand exposure when placed, and rarely dealt with, in a college campus setting, which has dampered the many lives, relationships, and respect towards everyone. College should be focused on growing exponentially in schooling and bettering yourself, not wondering if you could be the next sexual assault victim.

The current BRCC website has a poor design and lacks organization necessary for ease of access and ease of use. Because of this lack of organization, navigation and finding of materials becomes more difficult than it needs to be. This difficulty can be enough to dissuade potential students when they are searching for information regarding BRCC’s programs and facilities.
