Minority Student Retention The Best of the Journal of College Student Retention: Research Theory & Practice

Minority Student Retention The Best of the Journal of College Student Retention: Research Theory & Practice

Student retention continues to be a vexing problem for all colleges and universities. In spite of the money spent on creating programs and services to help retain students until they achieve their academic and personal goals and graduate the figures have not improved over time. This is particularly true for minority students who have a greater attrition rate than majority students. Demographic information shows that the minority population in the United States is growing at a faster rate than the majority. It is imperative that educational institutions find ways to help improve retention rates for all students but particularly minority students. Retention rates should not differ appreciably among different racial/ethnic groups. The Journal of College Student Retention: Research Theory and Practice is the only scholarly peer-reviewed journal devoted solely to college student retention. It has published many articles on minority student retention and this topic continues to garner much attention. This book is a compilation of the very best of these articles selected on the basis of reviews by a cadre of experts in the education field. The articles discuss African American Latino/Latina Asian and Asian Pacific Native American and biracial students and institutional commitments to retaining a diverse student population. For those interested in this vital area the collection will teach and inspire them to achieve greater heights and pay additional attention to retaining minority students in our colleges and universities. | Minority Student Retention The Best of the Journal of College Student Retention: Research Theory & Practice

Citizen Science for Coastal and Marine Conservation

Citizen Science for Coastal and Marine Conservation

In recent years citizen science has emerged as a powerful new concept to enable the general public students and volunteers to become involved in scientific research. A prime example is in biodiversity conservation where data collection and monitoring can be greatly enhanced through citizen participation.

The novelty and rapid expansion of the field has created a demand for the discussion of key issues and the development of best practices. The book demonstrates the utility and feasibility as well as limitations of using marine and coastal citizen science for conservation and by providing critical considerations (i. e. which questions and systems are best suited for citizen science) presents recommendations for best practices for successful marine and coastal citizen science projects. A range of case studies for example on monitoring of seabird populations invasive species plastics pollution and the impacts of climate change from different parts of the world is included. Also included are discussions on engaging youth indigenous communities and divers and snorkelers as citizen scientists as well as best practices on communication within citizen science building trust with stakeholders and informing marine policy as part of this exciting and empowering way of improving marine and coastal conservation. . | Citizen Science for Coastal and Marine Conservation

Planning for Community-based Disaster Resilience Worldwide Learning from Case Studies in Six Continents

Planning for Community-based Disaster Resilience Worldwide Learning from Case Studies in Six Continents

We are witnessing an ever-increasing level and intensity of disasters from Ecuador to Ethiopia and beyond devastating millions of ordinary lives and causing long-term misery for vulnerable populations. Bringing together 26 case studies from six continents this volume provides a unique resource that discusses in considerable depth the multifaceted matrix of natural and human-made disasters. It examines their bearing on the loss of human and productive capital; the conduct of national policies and the setting of national development priorities; and on the nature of international aid and bilateral assistance strategies and programs of donor countries. In order to ensure the efficacy and appropriateness of their support for disaster survivors international agencies humanitarian and disaster relief organizations scholars non-governmental organizations and members of the global emergency management community need to have insight into best practices and lessons learned from various disasters across national and cultural boundaries. The evidence obtained from the numerous case studies in this volume serves to build a worldwide community that is better informed about the cultural and traditional contexts of such disasters and better enabled to prepare for respond to and finally rebuild sustainable communities after disasters in different environments. The main themes of the case studies include: • the need for community planning and emergency management to unite in order to achieve the mutual aim of creating a sustainable disaster-resilient community coupled with the necessity to enact and implement appropriate laws policies and development regulations for disaster risk reduction; • the need to develop a clear set of urban planning and urban design principles for improving the built environment’s capacities for disaster risk management through the integration of disaster risk reduction education into the curricula of colleges and universities; • the need to engage the whole community to build inclusive governance structures as prerequisites for addressing climate change vulnerability and fostering resilience and sustainability. Furthermore the case studies explore the need to link the existence and value of scientific knowledge accumulated in various countries with decision-making in disaster risk management; and the relevance and transferability from one cultural context to another of the lessons learned in building institutional frameworks for whole community partnerships. | Planning for Community-based Disaster Resilience Worldwide Learning from Case Studies in Six Continents

Legal Ethics for Lawyers A New Model

Legal Ethics for Lawyers A New Model

This book proposes a new model of professional ethics enabling lawyers to advise clients upon both the law and ethics. This will better protect clients and society and enhance lawyers’ professional obligations. The current model of legal ethics developed in the 19th century specified that the role of lawyers was only to interpret the law not also to give ethical advice. This was acceptable to lawyers clients and society at that time. However this is not the case now and legal ethics no longer reflects the needs of modern legal practice. This book draws on moral philosophy to present a new model of legal ethics that explains the analytical process to include ethical advice. It analyses the potential harm of the present model to the legal profession who have duties to the law and justice that may compete with demands by clients to serve them. Further lawyers’ duty to clients to act in their best interests is sometimes not adequately fulfilled as legal ethics does not permit lawyers to give ethical advice even if it may be in clients’ best interests to do so. The work includes a detailed case study of corporate law practice to show why a new legal ethics is required. Other case examples are provided to demonstrate that lawyers practicing in all areas of law encounter ethical issues and they too will benefit from a new legal ethics. The book will be essential reading for students academics lawyers and professional bodies. | Legal Ethics for Lawyers A New Model
