Rich agree there is a gender gap when it comes to females applying to colleges and universities. Saying Kenyon until 1969 was a man college. That year more than 55 percent of her applicants are female. Today, two-thirds of post-secondary institutions report they get more female applicants than males. Nationwide 56 percent of women are undergraduates.
It will discuss how it was unfair to students that were entering college for sports gave minorities an unfair advantage to all, not just non-minorities. This paper will provide examples how the affirmative-action was not working to help everyone obtain a higher education. Many elite universities in the United States have delved into the issue of affirmative-action and the role affirmative action plays during the admission stage. Many universities automatically give minorities, African Americans and Hispanics, up to 230 points on a 1600 point SAT scale. Those entering for sports reasons obtain 200 admission points.
College athletes sacrifice so much for their respective schools and should be given more money and refine their scholarships to cover their expenses to prevent them from accepting illegal benefits, and give back to the athletes that bring so much revenue to their programs and schools. “NCAA athletes are held to what is, essentially, the strictest code of amateurism in sports. It's not just that the rules prevent them from driving a booster's Ferrari to Las Vegas for the weekend. The rules can make them think twice before bumming a ride to the mall.” (Cohen). There have been scandals in college sports (predominately football) involving players taking illegal benefits, such as meals paid for, having tattoos paid for, and having entertainment and nightclub cover charges taken care of.
More than 600,000 freshmen at US colleges this year have been enrolled in at least one remedial course (Cloud). , it still severely complicates things. What if students do not have the money to pay for the classes? Banning state money would mean no scholarship money or financial aid, know, it could be a crucial factor to a student’s success. Taking away these courses
This is the struggle that athletes who are playing for their colleges are experiencing. Often what is assumed is that college sports only bring in small revenue for colleges every year, many people guess that the total is around $50 million. But, in-fact colleges make nearly $170 million a year and are possibly going to make up to $480 million a year once they switch to a new playoff series says Jonathan Mahler in his article on paying college athletes (2014). So, if colleges are making that much off of their athletic programs alone, why isn’t some of that revenue going towards helping the athletes who are responsible for this some financial aid? Why Should College Athletes be Paid?
For example, the University of Michigan had fewer than 10,000 students prior to the war, but in 1948 its enrollment was well over 30,000. Syracuse University also embraced the spirit of the Bill and saw its enrollment skyrocket from approximately 6,000 before the war to 19,000 in 1947. Another provision was known as the 52–20 clause. This enabled all former servicemen
Paying College Football Players During this day in age, everything is about money and college sports are not different. College football is a billion dollar industry and everyone benefits except the athletes who are risking it all. With the millions of dollars in television deals, endorsements, advertisements, and schools benefits that everyone is benefiting from except the football players. What are the college players actually receiving? College football players need to be paid for putting their careers on the line one play at a time.
(Rasmussen Reports) This shows that still more than half of the country believes that education is a right for people who are here legally only. The moral issues that come with educating illegal immigrants can be illustrated Plyler v. Doe, which was discussed above. The case is about a group of Mexican students who challenged Texas school districts who wanted to charge tuition to all students that could not show proof of documentation. Eventually brought to the Supreme Court, it was decided that due to the 14th amendment that “No State shall … deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” (This provision is commonly known as the “Equal Protection Clause.”) Under this provision, the Court held that if states provide a free public education to U.S. citizens and lawfully present foreign-born children, they cannot deny such an education to undocumented children without “showing that it furthers some substantial state interest.” (Public Education) The social argument against educating these students mainly derives from the deep-seated prejudice against immigrants that has haunted this country from the immigrants of Irish and German immigrants in the 19th century, to the Eastern European and Asian immigrants in the early 20th century, to the immigrants from Latin America today. The problem in
The two women were from the NAWSA organization. They wanted to work for the woman suffrage on the federal level not just the state and local levels, which led them to split from NAWSA in 1914. NWP was the first group to picket the White House, conducted many marches and hunger strikes. NWP eventually weakened and became marginal in the women’s movement and got little to no recognition for their part in helping get the nineteenth amendment passed and ratified. 6) Title IX is a federal law prohibiting sex discrimination in educational institutions is Title IX of the Educational amendments act of 1972.
The Supreme Court is wrong in the decision of cheerleading being just an activity; instead it is definitely a sport according to Title IX and the criteria it contains. In July of 2010, the US District Judge, Stefan Underhill, ruled that cheerleading is not a sport so that one college could meet gender-equity requirements. The only
