Common Ground: Perspectives On Latino-Latina Diversity, Ediberto Román Jan 1997

Common Ground: Perspectives On Latino-Latina Diversity, Ediberto Román

Faculty Publications

In academic circles, when one speaks of scholarship, one speaks of scholarly legal publications. While such writing is obviously important for reform as well as for professional self-preservation,, I would take the term scholarship a step further. As true students of the law, we have a status in society that gives us a forum, and as Latinos/as we have an obligation to use our status to affect our communities. I, therefore, strongly support becoming more active by getting our voices heard beyond traditional modes of legal discourse. There are scores of communication mediums, such as newspapers and non-legal journals whose …


The Use Of Race In The Admissions Programs Of Higher Educational Institutions - A Violation Of The Equal Protection Clause?, Kevin Joyner Jan 1997

The Use Of Race In The Admissions Programs Of Higher Educational Institutions - A Violation Of The Equal Protection Clause?, Kevin Joyner

Campbell Law Review

This Note examines the burden placed on educational institutions to justify race-conscious admissions programs in light of the Equal Protection Clause. First, this note reviews the facts of the case and the decision in Hopwood. Next, this note provides a background of the law applicable to race-conscious programs by examining: (1) University of California v. Bakke; (2) the underlying theories of interpreting the Fourteenth Amendment; (3) the strict scrutiny standard of review; and (4) the Fourth Circuit's 1994 decision to invalidate a university's race-conscious scholarship program in Podberesky v. Kirwan. Finally, this note analyzes the decision by the Fifth Circuit. …


Fraudulent, Negligent, And Innocent Misrepresentation In The Employment Context: The Deceitful, Careless, And Thoughtless Employer, Frank J. Cavico Jan 1997

Fraudulent, Negligent, And Innocent Misrepresentation In The Employment Context: The Deceitful, Careless, And Thoughtless Employer, Frank J. Cavico

Campbell Law Review

This article strives to sort through the sundry ramifications of the law of misrepresentation. Accordingly, the three major classifications of misrepresentation - fraudulent, negligent, and innocent - will be differentiated clearly and then examined extensively. The elements constituting each category of misrepresentation action will be explained and illustrated. The article will focus upon the nature and extent of the tort action available to an aggrieved party who was induced to enter into a transaction or relationship by the misrepresentation of another. This tort analysis will include not only the traditional cause of action of deceit, but also the emerging tort …


An Algorithm For Message Delivery In A Micromobility Environment, Amy L. Murphy, Gruia-Catalin Roman, George Varghese Jan 1997

An Algorithm For Message Delivery In A Micromobility Environment, Amy L. Murphy, Gruia-Catalin Roman, George Varghese

All Computer Science and Engineering Research

With recent advances in wireless communication and the ubiquity of laptops, mobile computing has become an important research area. An essential problem in mobile computing is the delivery of a message from a source to either a single mobile node, unicast, or to a group of mobile nodes, multicast. Standard solutions proposed for macromobility (Mobile IP) and micromobility (cellular phones) for the unicast problem rely on tracking the mobile node. Tracking solutions scale badly when mobile nodes move frequently, and do not generalize well to multicast delivery. Our paper proposes a new message delivery algorithm for micromobility based on a …


The Design And Performance Of A Real-Time Corba Event Service, Timothy H. Harrison, David L. Levine, Douglas C. Schmidt Jan 1997

The Design And Performance Of A Real-Time Corba Event Service, Timothy H. Harrison, David L. Levine, Douglas C. Schmidt

All Computer Science and Engineering Research

The CORBA Event Service provides a flexible model for asynchronous communication among objects.However, the standard CORBA Event Service specification lacks important features required by real-time applications. For instance, operational flight programs for fighter aircraft have complex real-time processing requirements. This paper describes the design and performance of an object-oriented, real-time implementation of the CORBA Event Service that is designed to meet these requirements. This paper makes three contributions to the design and performance measurement of object-oriented real-time systems. First, it illustrates how to extend the CORBA Event Service so that it is suitable for real-time systems. These extensions support periodic …

Ensuring Meaningful Jailhouse Legal Assistance: The Need For A Jailhouse Lawyer-Inmate Privilege, Julie B. Nobel

Cardozo Law Review

Imagine Jeff, a state prison inmate who is serving a twentyfive year sentence for armed robbery. During this time, he is ordered to appear before a prison disciplinary committee to face charges that he murdered another prisoner during a riot. Although Jeff is entitled to present his defense at this disciplinary hearing, he finds it difficult to prepare his case adequately because he does not know how to read or write. Since he cannot afford an attorney, Jeff seeks the help of a fellow inmate who has a reputation for being skilled in the law. This "jailhouse lawyer" counsels Jeff …


Geritol For Geriatric Computers, Robbin D. Poling Jan 1997

Geritol For Geriatric Computers, Robbin D. Poling

Graduate Research Papers

This paper looks at the recycling of older computers in an elementary school. With the budgetary cutbacks that most school districts are facing, reusing older equipment is one way to meet student needs and still exist within a tight budget. This paper reflects research done in the areas of keyboard curriculum, which keyboard is used the most, and at what point in a student's academic life should this topic be introduced. The project describes a current development in a local school trying to pool older resources to allow for a better use of these machines.


Choosing An Effective Kindergarten Program : Comparing Full-Day And Half-Day Schedules, Lori A. Frost Jan 1997

Choosing An Effective Kindergarten Program : Comparing Full-Day And Half-Day Schedules, Lori A. Frost

Graduate Research Papers

Due to changes in American society and education during the last twenty years the popularity of all-day, everyday kindergarten programs has grown. Among the many issues cited as reasons for implementing all-day kindergarten programs are ". . . a growing need for child care, the need for more opportunity for socialization among young children, and a demand for more academically challenging programs" (Rust, 1993, p. 8).

The "whole child" approach is what we strive for today. However, that focus has been compromised in some instances by placing financial, parental, or school needs ahead of what is best for kindergarten students. …


The World Of Work : An Intermediate Level Curriculum Model Integrating School-To-Work And Service Learning, Virginia Lavelle Jan 1997

The World Of Work : An Intermediate Level Curriculum Model Integrating School-To-Work And Service Learning, Virginia Lavelle

Graduate Research Papers

Workers will need new and different skills for the changing economy in the 21st century. Current legislation includes school improvement and school-to-work. This project was designed to incorporate the educational reform movements of school-to-work and service learning within the school year calendar to provide educational work-related experiences for a full range of intermediate level learners in an inclusive classroom. Within this model students practice developing and applying basic skills, thinking skills, and personal qualities (SCANS) through work-based experiences which bring together school-to-work and service learning.
