Since the University of Nebraska-Lincoln resides within the borders of the conservative state of Nebraska, many people assume the campus and the students’ opinions are conservative in nature. In reality, the University has a history of progress that few people, including current students, recognized. During the 1920s, the Physical Education Department appointed an outsider named Mabel Lee, the first in several years for the University, who drastically impacted the department and the University as a whole
case Howard University v. Best, 547 A.2d 144 (D.C. Cir. 1988), is the second appeal arising out the employment contract of appellee Dr. Marie L. Best with appellant Howard University.

Although these methods can help the university decide between candidates to represent and make their school look good, the results and end products are still the same, universities/colleges get paid thousands of dollars from each one of their students, so why be picky about who to let in? Although some believe that the use of these
“in the place of a parent,” refers to American universities controlling their student’s actions through discriminatory restraints (Lee 2011, 66). Universities and colleges during the 1960s were regulating student’s personal lives through administrative rules and would take disciplinary action, like expulsion, if broken. “From the mid-1800s through the late 1950s”, courts supported universities acting “in loco parentis” in respects to their students (Lee 2011, 66). Higher educational intuitions where
media can raise concerns about students. First college administers can find potential students through social media, but critics disagree that checking other people’s social media is illegal (“Lee” ). For example “96.6% of four-year institutions use Facebook to recruit students.” (“Procon”). Next universities are turning to social media more to find people who are engrossed in going to

When I am not in class I am working in a lab at Notre Dame of Maryland University as a laboratory assistant with Dr. Lee an assistant professor in pharmaceutical science. As a laboratory assistant, I have learned how to prepare experiments, process specimens, maintain lab equipment, and clean up after each experiment. I have remarkable socializing
social media is illegal (“Lee” ). “96.6% of four-year institutions use Facebook to recruit students.” (“procon”). Next universities are turning to social media more to find people who are interested in going to college. College admissions officers said that they googled students to learn more about them.( “Kaplan”). It is important for colleges to know information about their students before accepting them in. For instance social media can act as an extended resume( “Lee” ). People can find certain
a result of the stressors college burdens on students?

Gary Gutting and Mark Edmundson the authors of the essays “What is College For?” and “On the Uses of a Liberal Education” respectively expressed their opinions on how college isn’t what it used to be. Gutting said some universities don’t teach what they are supposed to; they make some classes compulsory so students end up taking classes that are unnecessary. In result when students are given these particular courses as they become disinterested and aim for average instead of learning the material

Every student, after he or she graduates from high school will have the choice of attending to a University or a two year Community College. I remember Lee, my friend Joe’s brother, asking me after I finished high school and whether or not I wanted to join to a University or a two year Community College. At the time, it took me a week to answer his question. Similarly, if I was to ask any student where he or she wants to go after they finish high school, one might find that they’ll receive different
Upon beginning my first class at Walden University, it has been difficult to see myself getting through this 8-week course.

However, being a senior teacher that motivates my students to go above an beyond to reach their goal has pushed me to work hard and start a new journey. Though it is only the beginning of my journey, I can

There are organizations that surround the colleges and universities, such as, sororities and fraternities. Sororities and fraternities are amongst the general college student’s populations. The members have a high chance of engaging in drinking alcohol and abusing drugs. The reason behind the high risk of drinking alcohol and drug use are other peers or student colleagues peer pressuring students into drinking alcohol and using drugs. It’s very common that sororities and fraternities lure non-Greek
