Male Interracial Wage Differentials: Competing Explanations, Patrick Leon Mason May 1999

Male Interracial Wage Differentials: Competing Explanations, Patrick Leon Mason

Patrick L. Mason

Persistent interracial wage differentials present a challenge for neoclassical models of discrimination, which claim that long run competition is not consistent with persistent discrimination. Accordingly, several missing variable explanations are proposed in the literature. These modifications have two implications. One, interracial wage inequality is due to interracial inequality in pre-labor market factors. Two, there is no correlation between intergroup segregation and interracial wage differentials. However, the job competition model of discrimination argues that persistent wage discrimination and racial and gender employment segregation are causally related. Also, this model shows that racial discrimination is linked to the profit maximizing behavior of …

Domestic Violence And The Law: An Impassioned Exploration For Family Peace, Sarah M. Buel Jan 1999

Domestic Violence And The Law: An Impassioned Exploration For Family Peace, Sarah M. Buel

SARAH M BUEL

In thinking about the family law practitioner's response to domestic violence issues over the past few decades, it is heartening to note some progress while remaining deeply concerned that many lawyers have yet to embrace even the most basic tenets of victim safety and offender accountability. Domestic violence impacts most lawyers and judges; however, those in the field of family law are positioned to dramatically improve the lives of all parties, if they have learned how to intervene effectively. The continuing violence indicates that we must examine the larger issues: namely, the social, cultural and economic conditions that will facilitate …


Critical Of Race Theory: Race, Reason, Merit And Civility, Nancy Levit Jan 1999

Critical Of Race Theory: Race, Reason, Merit And Civility, Nancy Levit

Nancy Levit

A hazard lurks in any but the most careful representation of another's viewpoint. Call it "slippage" or the "essentialist error," the point is that communication rarely does complete justice to its object. The problem is compounded when the communication is mediated. We all know that between a story and its retelling, something will get lost in translation. Consider feminism, gay legal theory, and critical race theory, and their depictions in academic journals and the popular media. Newspapers and news magazines have recently published a spate of academic trash talk accusing critical race theorists of "playing the race card" and indulging …

Propositions For Information Technology: Planning For Success, Ken Haycock, G. Jopson

Ken Haycock

In Canada, the West Vancouver School Board proposed 13 propositions about the selection, management, and effective use of information technology. For each proposition, the senior management included a full outline of the current status, a plan of action, the name of the staff member responsible, and a time line. An external assessment of implementation of each proposition and of the impact on achievement was undertaken. The propositions, clustered in the areas of vision, statement of beliefs, student learning goals, definition, social issues, learning issues, clarification of roles and responsibilities, integration of information delivery systems, community-based information infrastructure, and assessment, are …
