UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones

Clark County School District is one of the largest school districts in the nation with a student population of 203,616 for 1998-1999. Talk of deconsolidating Clark County School District has been proposed by Assembly persons. However, as recent as November 2000, another initiative for deconsolidation and reconfigurations had not been approved by the voters.

College Sports Wagering: A Case Study About Gambling On College Athletics And The Motivations And Consequences Surrounding Legislation Wanting To Ban Wagering On College Sports, Neil H. Huffey

UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones

Sports wagering is the largest form of gambling in the world. In the United States, the practice is largely illegal. Nonetheless, it has sustained incredible growth both legally and illegally throughout the twentieth century. Current legislation in Congress would revise a 1992 federal law that banned legal sports wagering in this country with the exemption of four particular states, Nevada included. The state of Nevada is the only place in which wagering on college sports is legally practiced. The State of Oregon runs a small sports betting game out if its lottery. Proponents of the legislation suggest that passage is …

Pentadbiran Dan Pembangunan Harta Wakaf Di Negeri Melaka, Sayuti Abd. Ghani

Student Works (2000-2009)

In Islamic history, wakaf institution plays a viral role in building strong Islamic economy. However, lately wakaf institution is not being seen anymore as an institution that can solve economic problems of the Muslim society.

Ohio’S Competitive Advantage: Manufacturing Productivity, Edward W. Hill

All Maxine Goodman Levin School of Urban Affairs Publications

The underlying theme of Dr. Hill’s book is that manufacturing is the connective tissue of the state’s economy. This is true in two ways: The first is in terms of the distribution of employment, and the second connection is in locations of different parts of the manufacturing production process. The key to increasing incomes in all parts of Ohio is to ensure that the products made in manufacturing production platforms remain competitive, which means vigorously pursuing public policies that enhance productivity—investing in both labor and capital.

Chapter 10: Upper-Middle-Class Politics And Policy Outcomes: Does Class Identity Matter?, Herman L. Boschken

Faculty Publications, School of Management

This chapter in Clark and lipset's book on class in American politics resulted from a multi-day workshop at the Woodrow Wilson Center for International Scholars in the summer of 1999. The piece reverses the normal causality of class politics. It does not analyze citizens in elections, but government officials creating policies. It asks why policies differ across localities (specifically public transit decisions in 42 U.S. metropolitan areas). It probes how some government officials work with an "upper-middle-class" citizenry in mind, while others do so less. The chapter then tests for differences across localities and finds quite distinct patterns. The chapter …

Corporate Governance And Political Ownership, David Seong Wei Lo

Student Works (2000-2009)

This paper makes an attempt to study the concept of corporate governance in a political ownership environment. It emphasizes the relationship between political objectives and governance objectives. The paper first gives a preliminary view of corporate governance and political ownership. It investigates whether political ownership will restrict the functioning of the governance mechanism. By making a case study of several privatised firms with strong political ownership, it shows that there is a strong possibility that political objectives will undermine the governance objectives without a proper check and balance system in place. There are indications that the situation is starting to …

Reform In The Electricity Supply Industry And Implementation Of A Competitive Electricity Market In Malaysia, William Kim Cheong Leong, Simon Pick Pak Seong

Student Works (2000-2009)

Over the past decade, a number of nations have restructured their electricity industries. Several nations have also significantly reduced the government's role in the ownership and management of the electricity industries both at the state and national level. The wave of changes is driven by the forces of competition; the need to make the industry more efficient and allowing customers to have choices in deciding their electricity supplier, the package of services and the associated prices that best meet their needs. A crucial element of the deregulation and reform in the electric industry is the creation of a wholesale electricity …

The Development Of Private Higher Education In Malaysia Over The Last Three Decades : Achievements, Challenges And Future Prospects, Santhi Ramanathan

Student Works (2000-2009)

Education in Malaysia, as an industry, is currently undergoing tremendous change and growth. The increasing demand for tertiary education and the escalating cost of pursuing it overseas has led to the establishment of numerous private higher education institutions (PHE1s). While such development augers well with the current endeavor to make Malaysia as a global center of educational excellence and with the national human resource development objectives, it has brought about the need to study on how the Malaysian higher education expands, especially the private higher education (PHE) sector over the last three decades. The Private Higher Education (PHE) in Malaysia …

Analyzing The Roles Of Local Non-Governmental Organizations (Ngos) In Sustainable Tourism: A Case Study Of Belize, Central America, Shaun Finnetty

Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)

Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have become influential development actors in the developing world over the last two decades and are becoming increasingly involved in “sustainable” activities.

Therefore, the purpose of this thesis was to address this shortcoming in the development literature by undertaking a comprehensive study that analyzed the role of NGOs in the tourism sector in Belize. The research utilized a qualitative approach and employed descriptive survey techniques along with an extensive …
