Ray Rice: Discrimination Against Student's Of Different Cultures

216 Words1 Page

Hi Scierra,

You provided some excellent insights for this week’s discussion topic! I can relate with you about the Ray Rice situation. I have been in a close situation where a professor has discriminated against student’s of different cultures. It happened while I was working on my undergraduate degree. Many student’s of different cultures went and spoke to the dean of the department and some student’s even took it higher up the chain of command. I don 't believe any student should feel like they are not welcome and discriminated against at any college or university because they are paying their way for an education just like the rest of the student’s of different cultures. According to Hackman and Johnson (2013), “A crisis is any major unpredictable

  • The Truth About Holistic College Admissions By Sara Harberson

    1802 Words  | 8 Pages

    In the article, “The Truth about ‘holistic College Admissions”, Sara Harberson expresses how universities that are not allowed to use racial preferences on college admissions, are still devising strategies to work around the laws to produce the same result. Harberson states how the institutions are using what is called “holistic admissions”, which allows a college to factor in a student's background, race and income. By filtering out the minority groups, they are creating a less-diverse community, preventing students of certain backgrounds from a proper education, and taking away opportunities from students based on their ethnicity. Colleges are using racial segregation in the admission process so that they can have a white-favoring campus

  • Roosevelt University: Non-Discrimination Case Study

    One of the events of University’s history that I found very fascinating is how Roosevelt University practiced non-discrimination in admissions for its students and faculty members since 1946. The University was recognized nation-wide in press coverage for taking small steps towards creating an academic environment where students and staff members were selected based on their knowledge and passion, rather than their race or gender. Also, there is a lot of diversity in current classes at Roosevelt University; it helps to improve work efficiency because people from different cultural background can bring variety of skills, capabilities, and knowledge that can constitute a better team work. This aspect of the University’s history reminded me

    Race: PL 88-352, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin against students of any school receiving federal financial assistance. This act made it so that when I went to school I did not have experience discrimination amongst my peers, we all had the same opportunities and I am thankful for that. Religion: 393 U.S. 97, In Epperson v. State of Arkansas the Supreme Court found that to forbid the teaching of evolution as a theory violated the First Amendment free speech clause. If evolution was not taught I probably would not hold the beliefs I do today. I do believe that evolution is real and that it is how we all came to be.

    An outrage among society today; high school students are not being admitted to their dream colleges based on ethnic background. Adolescents should not be burdened by the thought that they won’t get into the college they deserve to attend just based on their skin color. Affirmative Action is the cause of this appalling injustice in the college admissions process among big universities. There have been several cases where people have fought for their right to be admitted solely based on their qualifications. Universities’ use of Affirmative Action, and racial quotas in their admissions process should be exposed and terminated.

    ). Einstein thought differently he was a smart man and he liked to work with other smart people and he didn’t care what their skin color was or their ethnicity, he would see a really smart person with good ideas that he would like to work with and he did. That is why no matter what your profession is, we need to speak out about racism especially teachers in classrooms. All the children born here in the United States have to go to school, if teachers teach their students how bad racism really is we will already be creating awareness in these kids and they will know from young ages that it is wrong. It’s always been said that our children are our future, and if we educate them right our future will be better.

    Due to Affirmative Action, institutions have to reach certain quotas to gain funding. However, once quotas are reached, there are many people of color who do not benefit. Timing is very important in whether or not a person of color can benefit from the government policy. Therefore, it benefits people by the situation and not as a whole. As diversity is very important to colleges and universities, their actions in the scholarship and admittance processes say otherwise.

    One example of this was the actions that took place as a result of protesters coming to DePauw. There were multiple African American students who were forced to the ground and arrested unjustly by police members. Many of the white students I spoke with about this failed to recognize the racial issue at hand and utilized what many sociologists call colorblind ideology. The school has attempted to address this problem, however, as previously stated, when the student body ideals don’t match up with the institutions then it causes a negative campus climate to arouse. An important aspect of DePauw and its relation to the racial climate is Greek
