Our student population is comprised of students from across the city, both inside of our school’s neighborhood community and far outside. Our students are largely commuters who come from the far south sides and far west sides of the city. Due to this, we are fortunate to have a student body with diverse experiences, backgrounds, familial structures, and histories. Currently, our student body is 70% Black, 25% Hispanic, and 5% White and Asian.

There is a wide percentage of Americans struggling to maintain time, which causes these similar issues and circumstances as well. “Eating well and exercising (54 percent each) are ranked at the bottom in terms of importance when compared with other aspects of well-being, including good family relationships (76 percent), managing stress (61 percent), getting enough sleep (60 percent), good friendships (60 percent) and doing well in career or studies (59

For over a century the University of Texas (UT) has served as a leading institution educating America’s leaders, however; the lingering effects of prior discrimination haunt the campus. Due to perceptions that UT’s environment is not supportive of underrepresented minority students, the University lacks diversity within its student body. Regardless, UT continues to receive an overwhelmingly selective applicant pool. However, without student diversity UT deems it difficult to perform its mission of providing superior educational opportunities while aiding the advancement of our society.

In 1976 black students accounted for 1% and Hispanics made up .03% of total enrollment at two and four year colleges, while the percentage of whites enrolled was 83%. By 2011, both black and Hispanic enrollment had increased by 14% with white enrollment decreasing by 24%. These numbers illustrate that the black share of total enrollment between 1976 and 2011 almost doubled, the Hispanic share quadrupled and the White

According to the speculations of linguistic expert, John McWhorter, who wrote the article, “What the World Will Speak in 2115,” in one hundred years English will become the most widely understood language. If current trends continue, in the future one can imagine a world in which humans all share a single universal language. Having a common language would potentially open the doors to many opportunities for increased economic activity and cultural interaction. Additionally, as we travel into the 22nd Century, lesser used and more complex languages that are spoken today will become extinct. Subsequently, the few languages that survive will evolve into

The faculty for the district consists of 146 teachers. The female population is 88% and the male population is at 12%. The majority, 88%, are white. 3% of our teachers are African-American, 5% are Hispanic, 1% are Asian, 2% are multi-racial, and 1% are American Indian.

While our basis of interest is how stereotypes affect student performance academically, the empirical article of “Mining a Written Values Affirmation

Institutional analysis has been a crucial component of understanding race and ethnic relations. As many of our institutions are based on education, they are a necessary foundation for establishing equity. Cal Poly has a reputation of having small numbers when it comes to students and faculty of color. While the majority of the population has insisted that conditions have improved, the remainder of the demographics are still underrepresented. Events such as Culture Fest are cultural celebrations, which are held throughout the year to build community for people of color on campus. The attendance of white students for these events is relatively low, and there are mixed feelings about whether or not the numbers should increase. I interviewed six

With the possibility of a secondary language being involved, included are additional statistics from the USF System Fact Book in regards to the student diversity profile at USF below:

Data serves as a tangible evidence source of a lack of diversity. “In a community that is 59% Hispanic, the U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics (2015), report reveals over 82% of the faculty and staff at FPU are white. The gap in the number of diverse faculty, inadequate faculty engagement, and a disjointed approach to diversity across the school are all contributing factors to the current issue of diversity” (Cochran, 2015).

University of Texas, colleges will continue to justify their race-conscious policies. “Institutions must show the reviewing court that the design and implementation of its chosen means, to attain sufficient racial diversity as part of its broader diversity aims are necessary to achieve those goals (College Board, p. 7, 2013).” It is important for courts to review their procedures carefully and provide analysis of how the admission process is narrowly tailored. This will document how colleges attain their diversity goals. Colleges will continue to review and evaluate under strict scrutiny principles to prove the impact that race conscious policies have for institutions. In addition, the ruling from this case impacts the student body by insuring that diversity

The College of Natural Sciences (CNS), the largest academic college at The University of Texas at Austin, continuously seeks to develop innovative recruitment methods that support institutional efforts to increase and strengthen student body diversity and inclusion. As a result, the CNS Undergraduate Recruitment and Visitor Center, and the CNS Constituent and Alumni Relations Office have developed the Alumni-Freshmen Mentoring Initiative, a pilot program for CNS alumni and newly admitted CNS freshmen from historically underrepresented backgrounds (Black and Latino students). The initiative will target students and alumni from the Greater Houston and Dallas/Fort Worth areas and connect CNS alumni in the health or science profession

In the last 30 years there is significantly more Hispanic, Asian, and African American students enrolling in college. (US Dept. of Education) With the ever-changing demographical makeup, the need for inclusive teaching practices is evident. Preito (2011), declares the necessity for a scale in order to measure how well professors are integrating cultural competence into the classroom, creating the Multicultural Teaching Competencies Inventory as a feedback tool. While previous literature on multicultural professors' has been studied, conclusions focused on how students' were evaluating with regards to ethnicity of the professor. (Lee, 2010; Bavishi, Hebl, & Madera, 2010) Though focusing on students perceptions of their professors ethnicity remains

Lack of time appears to be a barrier salient across many different demographics. Women between the ages of 18 and 70 identify time pressures as a significant barrier to engaging in both regular physical activity and healthy eating behaviors. Women that identify time as a barrier are less likely to meet physical activity and fruit and vegetable recommendations and are more likely to consume higher amounts of fast food (Welch et al., 2008). University students in Spain identify external barriers as having higher importance than internal barriers, with lack of time occurring most often. Fatigue, stress, heavy workloads, lack of support, and lack of appropriate facilities are some of the most significant external barriers, second to lack of time

If school board’s want their student’s to become not only physically, but mentally healthier, it could be solved by pushing back the school start time.
