Ade Treasurer's Report Dec 2002

Ade Treasurer's Report

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)

The finances of the Association for Documentary Editing are sound. There has been an increase in the general budget of $7,401, a gain of 14 percent for the year, giving us unrestricted assets totaling $60,082. A portion of this increase is due to an overage of $1,535 from the 2001 annual conference in Raleigh. Most of the increase, however, is due to the generous contributions of our members who renewed their memberships at higher levels or made contributions to the association. We can thank our members for their generosity, which makes possible a sound financial situation. Moreover, in spite of …

Stolen Generations And Vanishing Indians: The Removal Of Indigenous Children As A Weapon Of War In The United States And Australia, 1870-1 940, Victoria Haskins, Margaret D. Jacobs Nov 2002

Stolen Generations And Vanishing Indians: The Removal Of Indigenous Children As A Weapon Of War In The United States And Australia, 1870-1 940, Victoria Haskins, Margaret D. Jacobs

Department of History: Faculty Publications

As a central component of the assimilation agenda in the United States and of absorption plans in Australia, child removal became a systematic government policy toward indigenous peoples in both countries in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Using the rhetoric of protecting and saving indigenous children, reformers and government officials touted child removal as a means to "uplift" and "civilize" indigenous children. Modern-day historians, until very recently, have characterized child removal in similar ways: as a well-intentioned, though ultimately misguided, alternative to warfare and violence against indigenous peoples.

If we turn our attention to the perspectives of the indigenous peoples …

A Diversity Initiative Is Organizational Development: Anything Else Is Just Window Dressing, Carole G. Parker Ph.D. Nov 2002

A Diversity Initiative Is Organizational Development: Anything Else Is Just Window Dressing, Carole G. Parker Ph.D.

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 7th Annual National Conference (2002)

When an organization, any organization, but in particular, higher education, decides to engage in a diversity initiative, the leadership of the institution must be aware that they are engaging in a complex change or organization development. Organization Development is defined as change initiated by the top leadership of an organization, the change must be organization-wide, it is planned; it is designed to improve organizational health and effectiveness, and is implemented with the assistance of skills and interventions based in the behavioral sciences.

The Potential Role Of Minority Student Organizations In The Recruitment And Retention Process At Urban Universities, Keith Williams

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 7th Annual National Conference (2002)

In 1992, the Department of Chemistry at Wayne State University developed an office to address the issue of minority student recruitment and retention in the sciences. The Initiative through the success of its programming revealed that minority student organizations were instrumental in student retention at both the college and pre-college levels. Moreover, an unintended consequence of this synergy is the recruitment of minority students to the university.

More specifically, it will examine the effects of those students' participation in a summer bridge program on their "ease of transition" (Hurtado and Carter, 1997) and their academic and social integration during their freshmen year (Tinto, 1993). In addition, the study provides a context for assessing the students' experiences by also examining their perceptions of the campus climate (Hurtado et al., 1999) at …

Arizona State Unamerican Indian Education , Autumn Weaver

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 7th Annual National Conference (2002)

Federal rules prohibited American Indian children attending boarding schools from using their native languages until the 1930's. Success would be more attainable for Indian students if the university implemented programs that acknowledge American Indian experience and contributions. Non-Indian students would also benefit from learning about the Indian experiences in United States history. Culturally relevant programming and a visible Native presence would increase both the quality of education and the university's retention of American Indian students.

Did Ah Ask You For Woik?: The Black Student, The Concept Of “Career" & Self-Entrepreneurship: Which Road?, Matthew C. Stelly, Michael Payne, Cynthia Jackson

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 7th Annual National Conference (2002)

For some time now, four year institutions have been circulating the myth that education equals a job upon graduation. Along with this myth, the university system makes it appear as if this equation works across the board, for minority graduates as well as majority group members. A third prong of the falsehood is that a job or a career is the ultimate goal. Very little mention is ever made of self-sufficiency or entrepreneurship. In this paper, we present a community-based model of economic development that revolves around minority students starting their own businesses rather than opting for graduation and then …

The Community College As A "Liberation Laboratory:" Toward New Visions, Values And Vigor, Matthew C. Stelly, Michael Payne, Cynthia Jackson

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 7th Annual National Conference (2002)

The lackluster manner in which the American high school is teaching students, combined with selective admission programs at a number of post-secondary institutions, combine to give the majority of American students an important option: the community college. Furthermore, the rising wave of conservatism and right wing ideology can best be countered if these two-year institutions became "liberation laboratories," and emphasized the humanities and social sciences, with emphasis on critical reading, critical writing and critical thinking, This paper outlines how such an emphasis, pedagogy and curriculum could be established at the nation's two-year institutions.

The Abcs Of Tenure: What All African-American Faculty Should Know, Sharon E. Moore Ph.D. Nov 2002

The Abcs Of Tenure: What All African-American Faculty Should Know, Sharon E. Moore Ph.D.

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 7th Annual National Conference (2002)

African-American faculty are extremely valuable contributors to their respective areas. They bring direct knowledge of the strengths and needs of their communities and serve as role models to aspiring students. Unfortunately some African-American faculty are not successful at getting promotion and or tenure in part because of a lack of mentors and or a lack of clarity regarding tenure criteria. This paper focuses on four issues that are relevant to the tenure process, namely, politics, the publication process, developing a research agenda and submission of the tenure "package".

in the context of predominantly white institutions. In this paper concepts such as projection, projective identification, splitting, scapegoating, superiority and denial will be employed to illustrate why racial prejudice is a deeply-rooted collective psychological disorder that affects even educated mental health practitioners. Clinicians have an ethical responsibility to demonstrate cultural sensitivity and empathy when working with minority clients, colleagues, staff and students, to examine and root out their own prejudices, and to encourage others to do the same.
