    Although members of the (“LGBTQ”) community are allowed to apply to the school, students will not be allowed admission unless they are willing to read, understand and agree to abide by the terms set out within the Community Covenant. By agreeing to accept the Covenant, members of TWU commit themselves to abstain from various activities, including “sexual intimacy that violates the sacredness of marriage between a man and a woman.” The repercussions of the covenant are that students in the LGBTQ community are discriminated against, in admission to, and life at, TWU. However TWU, on the contrary, believes that the Community Covenant is protected by its right to freedom of religion granted under section 2 of the Canadian charter of rights and freedoms.

    Contrasting, when introducing Schrodt, it addresses him as “chief executive” rather than a CEO. Chief executive comes off as less pretentious and on the same socioeconomic as the reader. This makes him more relatable to both the reader and the players. Furthermore, Michael Brooks is identified as the first executive director of NACE but also as the a former member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. Classifying a lead competitor of the NCAA as having a background in college athletics builds his ethos.

    Huntington is an United Brethren affiliated university, and the United Brethren denomination has a stance against homosexuality, stating in their governing documents that state that they “will only recognize marriages between a genetic, biological man and a genetic, biological woman”. As a school following their beliefs, Huntington must also proclaim that this is a truth that they hold to be important, and therefore will not allow same-sex married couples to live in campus housing or to be faculty here. Obviously, this goes drastically against SB1146, which desires the power to prohibit Christian universities, like Huntington, the right to refuse housing to same-sex married

  • How Do Political Trends Affect Community Colleges

    736 Words  | 3 Pages

    Both DACA and dual enrollment issues affect the mission and completion agenda of community colleges. It is vital that higher education leaders have plans that support the increasing demands of dual enrollment while fighting for human rights for DACA students. While dual enrollment is an opportunity for poor students to close the achievement gaps that have plagued higher education; DACA issues redefine the mission of the community college to include Dreamers. Higher education leaders must be on the frontline of these conversations and policies while providing professional development and incentives to equip its instructors with the tools to manage high school students who make their way into college classrooms.

A cafeteria would offer convenience for students and staff, increase the attendance rate, and allow students to engage in social interactions with one another. Not only is cafeteria favorable for the Motlow State community, but it would multiply the revenue for the school. Predominantly, constructing a cafeteria will improve the Smyrna campus as a whole.

    My take away from our book club one meeting was interesting. After listening and participating, we believe that as a whole, that college has been way overvalued and extorted for the purposes of growing gargantuan private colleges, such as University of Phoenix. At the same time, we could only laugh at this situation, because we as a class are feeding into the same over educated problem we were talking about. We did collectively agree, that the reason we are getting the degrees we are, is so that we can be part of the solution and start helping others fill in the skilled workers gap.
