As-876-19 Resolution On Faculty Title Ix Training, Nicole Jacobs, The Women’S And Gender Studies Teaching Faculty

Academic Senate Resolutions

The required “Supervisor: Anti-Harassment, Discrimination, Retaliation (CA-13-H)” online training module does not currently reflect these shifts to policy and procedure, discuss larger Title IX issues at Cal Poly, or offer guidance on best practices for faculty to support students who are undergoing Title IX investigations; and incidents of sexual assault and misconduct are known to be significantly underreported, and in light of recent mandates, there has been a freezing effect on students’ willingness to report such cases; therefore, be it that the Academic Senate recommends that all faculty members undergo Title IX Refresher Training to understand their responsibilities and opportunities …

Cyber: The Ultimate Political Weapon, Shafali Raj Apr 2019

Cyber: The Ultimate Political Weapon, Shafali Raj

Paideia

Cyber is one of the newest frontiers we face as a modern society. There are many unknowns when it comes to this intangible platform that has become shared globally. Political Science takes an interest in cyber because today it is used as a battle ground for attackers on the international scale. Our understanding of cyber warfare is still emerging, and much scholarship fails to discuss the usage of the United States’ use of such weapons. This paper goes beyond a discussion of coders and hackers leaking into government data and instead focuses on the evidence of cyber as a weapon …


U.S. Energy Independence, Lorenzo Waller Apr 2019

U.S. Energy Independence, Lorenzo Waller

Paideia

While many know the United States is the largest consumer of oil in the world, recently, it has become the biggest producer of the resource as well. Within the next decade it will export more oil than it imports, which will mark a significant change in the global energy market. This paper will investigate and evaluate what changes are to be expected, with a specific focus on OPEC member countries. I will utilize qualitative evidence in the form of three case studies. These case studies will provide detailed discussion and analysis of how energy independence in the United States will …

New Colonialism In Developmental Aid, Emily Meyer Apr 2019

New Colonialism In Developmental Aid, Emily Meyer

Paideia

Conventional wisdom suggests United States’ economic foreign aid is wasted and should be cut. In challenging this conventional wisdom, I argue that though there is potential for good through foreign aid, bilateral aid programs like that of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation resemble neo-colonialism. This paper examines international aid’s effects on establishing debt traps, promoting exploitation, and reinforcing hierarchy. Through analysis of primary and secondary evidence, including but not limited to UNCTAD and WWF-SIGHT reports, I look at how the effects of international aid contribute to the sovereignty of the recipient countries. My findings reveal that though Chinese international aid …

Nature Vs. History: The Fight For National Park Designation, Kieran Althus

Paideia

National Parks are a pinnacle of the United States recreation scene. Providing the U.S. with over 52.2 million acres protected for the use of the public and for conservation and scientific research. National Parks are not the only entity in the National Park System that provides protections for land deemed valuable by Congress.

Fishy Reasoning And The Ethics Of Eating, Mylan Engel Jr. Apr 2019

Fishy Reasoning And The Ethics Of Eating, Mylan Engel Jr.

Between the Species

Ethical vegetarians believe that it is morally wrong to eat meat. Yet, many self-ascribed “ethical vegetarians” continue to eat fish. The question I explore here is this: Can one coherently maintain that it is morally wrong to eat meat, but morally permissible to eat fish? I argue that it is morally inconsistent for ethical vegetarians to eat fish, not on the obvious yet superficial ground that fish flesh is meat, but on the morally substantive ground that fish are sentient intelligent beings capable of experiencing morally significant pain and thus deserve moral consideration equal to that owed birds and mammals.

This paper aims to explore veganism within the context of social movement theory, examine the ideological boundary found at the intersection of private action and movement participation, and look at the relationship between personal and collective identity and change.

Effects Of The Rhya On Lgbtq Homeless Youth, Bailey Barton Apr 2019

Effects Of The Rhya On Lgbtq Homeless Youth, Bailey Barton

Paideia

The United States government passed the Runaway and Homeless Youth Act (RHYA) in 1974. This piece of legislation provides federal funding for homeless youth programs, defines who is considered a homeless youth, and regulates what shelters and government agencies can do for youth who have run away from home or become homeless. This legislation, however, makes no mention of LGBT homeless youth, even though they are disproportionately represented in homeless youth populations. LGBT homeless youth often experience discrimination and abuse due to their unique identity, in addition to the other negative effects of homelessness on youth. Many are discriminated against …

What Does Special Forces Usage Demonstrate About Us Foreign Policy Goals?, Jack Hopkins Apr 2019

What Does Special Forces Usage Demonstrate About Us Foreign Policy Goals?, Jack Hopkins

Paideia

This research paper focuses on the interrelatedness between the deployment of US Special Forces, in both combat and supporting capabilities, and the accomplishment of US foreign policy goals around the world. Using a qualitative methodology, this paper uses primary sources such as reports from Special Operations Forces commanders, CRS reports, and other forms of Congressional documentation to investigate the relationship. This paper will use three case studies to illustrate specific foreign policy goals: firstly, counter-narcotics operations in Columbia; secondly, counter-terror operations throughout the Middle East; and finally, counter-terror operations throughout the African continent. The implications of this paper indicate that …
