Facts And Fantasies About Uc Berkeley Admissions: A Critical Evaluation Of Regent John Moores' Reports, Asian Law Caucus

UC Law Journal of Race and Economic Justice

UC Regent John Moores recently authored a confidential draft report that purports to analyze admissions at the University of California's flagship Berkeley campus. The Moores Report is largely focused on SAT scores, particularly the admission of some applicants with SAT scores below 1000. Unfortunately, the Moores Report contributed to widespread misconceptions about comprehensive review at Berkeley, particularly regarding the admission of a small number of students with relatively low SAT scores. In reality, the data show that students admitted with relatively low SAT scores can be highly qualified for admission to Berkeley and that Berkeley admits virtually all in-state applicants …

A High Stakes Mistake: Ignoring The Iep Team's Recommendations In Implementing California's High School Exit Exams, A. Angelique Aitken

UC Law Journal of Race and Economic Justice

Although federal and California law guarantee each elementary and secondary student a "free and appropriate education," California has decided to implement high stakes exit exams that arguably deny students this right. The Individualized Education Plan team members are guardians of a child's free and appropriate education and best understand the disabled student's academic abilities and achievements. By deferring to the Individualized Education Plan team, students with learning disabilities would have equal access to learning, equal opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge, and equal privileges that accompany a high school graduation.

Dalhousie Journal of Legal Studies

This case comment questions the neutrality of government environmental assessment reviews in Canada, through an examination of the proposed Tulsequah Chief Mine in Northern BC.

In the case of the Tulsequah Chief mine, the Taku River Tlingit First Nation opposes the project on grounds of regional sustainability. The litigation between the Tlingits, the BC Government and the Redfern Mining Corporation has raised issues regarding the fiduciary duty of governments to considering the claims of …

Discourse On The Thai Nation By Progressive Intellectuals From The 1950'S-1960'S, Sopha Chanamool

Manusya, Journal of Humanities

A discourse on the Thai Nation by progressive intellectuals in Thailand during 1950's-1960's is discussed. During this period they formed a narrative, and a new meaning of "Chat Thai" or Thai nation. The progressive intellectuals, such as Malai Chupinit, Sod Kuramarohit, Assani Ponlachan and Chit Phumisak, debated a new meaning of national identity. They described the Thai Nation differently to the previous elite groups, such as King Rama VI in the 1920's. King Rama VI wrote about the great ancient kingdom of Sukhothai. Luang Wichitwatakan expanded on that to show the greatness of the Thai nation since ancient times, and …

Prioritization was to be accomplished within the context of socio-economic development programs.
