Literature Review: College Admissions Policy For Ex-Offenders, Richard Louis

Student Articles

Cnaan, Draine, Frazier, and Sinha (2008) indicated that the more punitive and exclusionary in which policies are towards prisoners and ex-prisoners, the less protected are the rights of citizens in general. In 2004, nearly seven million people or 1 in every 31 adults were under criminal justice supervision (Cnaan, Draine, Frazier, & Sinha, 2008). Upon release from prison or probation or parole, ex-offenders are seeking (or in some cases mandated) employment or participate in efforts to further their education. As recently as 2014, 1 in every 4 U.S. citizens had a criminal record (D'Alessio, Flexon, & Stolzenberg, 2014). The attainment …

Science Alive!: Connecting With Elementary Students Through Science Exploration, Aarti Raja, Emily F. Schmitt Lavin, Tamara Gali, Kaitlin Donovan

Biology Faculty Articles

A novel program called Science Alive! was developed by undergraduate faculty members, K–12 school teachers, and undergraduate students to enrich science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) literacy at community schools located near the university. The ultimate goal of the program is to bolster the scientific knowledge and appreciation of local area students and community members and serve as a model for similar programs. Through the program, we observed that elementary school students made gains toward learning their grade-level science curricula after a hands-on learning experience and had fun doing these hands-on activities. Through the program, undergraduate students, working with graduate …

Distributive Justice Research Paper And Critical Analysis Of The Disenfranchisement Of Ex-Offenders And Their Employment Opportunities, Richard Louis

Student Articles

On most job applications, there are any one or more questions that could trigger further inquiry into an applicant’s background “Have you ever been convicted of a felony?”; “Have you ever been arrested?”; “Have you ever pled no contest to any criminal or civil offense?”. A great majority of U.S. citizens are profoundly affected by these questions as one in four U.S. citizens currently have a criminal record (D'Alessio, Flexon, & Stolzenberg, 2014). D’Alessio, Flexon, and Stolzenberg (2014) indicated in their research that 92% of employers conduct background checks on prospective employees which based on the amount of U.S. citizens …

Deprivation Of Freedom Research Paper And Critical Analysis Of The Utilization Of Privately Operated Correctional Institutions, Richard Louis

Student Articles

According to Merriam-Webster’s dictionary, one of the definitions of deprivation is the state of being deprived of something. In addition, Merriam-Webster has one of its definitions of freedom as the liberation from slavery or restraint or from the power of another.

According to Meiners (2011), the United States of America has the unfortunate distinction of having the most incarcerated individuals than any other nation. The United States of America has 5% of the world’s population, however incarcerates 25% of the world’s total prison population (Meiners, 2011).

Creating A Survey For Analyzing A Culture Of Narcissistic, Toxic, And Power Behaviors In An Organization, David B. Ross

Faculty Articles

The purpose for creating this survey was to understand employees’ experiences of coping with their organizational administrators/leaders who have characteristics regarding narcissism and elements of power, and who create a toxic culture. After much research and reflection, it prompted me to further my thoughts regarding a development of an instrument to measure these factors of a person who maintains an administrative/leadership position. Additionally, this survey seeks to understand the challenges, successes, and advice from employees who have been prone to a power hungry, narcissistic, and toxic leadership culture, as well as the mystery behind these behaviors. This survey will hopefully …

Promising Literacy Practices For Students With Interrupted Formal Education In Achieving Competence With Academic Language Across Disciplines, David B. Ross, Lyudmyla Ziemke

Faculty Articles

Rapidly growing numbers of linguistically and culturally diverse students in U.S. schools and increased accountability measures in the nation’s education have drawn the attention of educational practitioners and researchers to determining effective instructional models and practices designed to meet academic needs of these students. English language learners (ELLs) with weak educational backgrounds and limited literacy in native languages, or Students with Interrupted Formal Education (SIFE), find themselves at a disadvantage compared to not only their English speaking peers but other ELL subgroups as in addition to developing English language proficiency while simultaneously studying the required grade-level disciplines, ELLs who are …

The Mystery Of Autism: Parental Perspectives, David B. Ross, Elizabeth Vultaggio Salah

Faculty Articles

Research indicated that parents of children with autism spectrum disorder experience higher levels of stress than parents of children with other developmental disorders. Children with autism tend to exhibit problematic behaviors as a result of their inability to communicate effectively. Parents of children with autism find it challenging to determine the reasons for these behaviors. Since researchers have confirmed the presence of stress associated with caring for a child with autism, coping strategies can essentially elevate high stress levels that can lead to depression. Children with autism spectrum disorders may have multiple disabilities that can cause an even greater challenge …
