Addressing Discrimination At West Chester University: A Battle At All Levels, Aaron Stoyack
Addressing Discrimination At West Chester University: A Battle At All Levels, Aaron Stoyack
Ramifications
Through a series of 29 oral histories, a dataset consisting of the experiences of 29 minority or ally students and faculty was created. Analyzing their experiences revealed manners in which inequalities within WCU, particularly retaining to retention and graduation rates, could be minimized. Those experiencing discrimination have statistically lower academic performance and are more likely to drop out. To systematically address these disparities, action at the administrative, faculty, and student level is described, each of which had a positive impact on student success. The variety of methods described can inform future initiatives seeking to make WCU a more inclusive place.

Once Upon A Time In West Chester, James Jones

While most of my local history research has focused on industrial development and urban revitalization, this work examines a darker period in the late 1960s when West Chester underwent the kind of decline that plagued small towns all over the country. The intersection of middle class flight, youth rebellion, drug culture, racial strife and official corruption led to a murder and a series of sensational trials that revealed the limits of justice under Pennsylvania state law.

Geological Origins Of The Ridley Creek Valley Landscape And Its Influence On Human Land Use, Walt Cressler
University Libraries Faculty Publications
Ridley Creek is a 24-mile long tributary of the Delaware River located in southeastern Pennsylvania. Its geological history has determined the topography of its watershed. The rolling Piedmont hills along most of its length, and the flat Coastal Plain at its confluence with the river have profoundly influenced the history of human land use within this landscape.
