The need for affirmative action
Considering costs, affirmative action is on the higher side compared to equal opportunity. Affirmative action has been known to breed criticism like no other policy. This has a negative effect on those it should benefit, simply because of the numerous questions on its merits. Those individuals who cannot be classed as minorities do not see the benefit of affirmative action. On the other hand, those who place themselves in the minority group endorse affirmative action with all their might (Crosby & Konrad, 2002).
So, the question remains: Is affirmative action really necessary? Of what use is a policy that greatly burdens… Continue Reading...
the armed forces has a proud and long history of diversity, ever since the 1948 Presidential Executive Order on equal opportunity and treatment within the armed forces. Though the nation’s pride in the level of diversity it has achieved via equal employment opportunity and equal opportunity is warranted, the focus for the long term has to transcend these efforts. Military leaders need to stress the fact that diversity forms an intrinsic component of American culture, and if adequately recognized and supported, forms the bedrock for an inclusive army environment. This represents one constituent of developing adaptive, responsive and active leaders who are able to efficiently operate in whatever environment… Continue Reading...

The HUD needs fund beneficiaries to carry out and present periodic evaluations of the Act as well as other federally-safeguarded equal opportunity effects of particular activities and programs embarked on with federal resources. (3) Both program-specific and jurisdiction-wide processes include the consideration of housing opportunity indicators backed by established experience and studies; and (4) the HUD should supplement technical aid and requirements of submission to fund beneficiaries with a meticulous system of surprise, periodic audits of a subsection of beneficiaries as well as applicants to be selected via random selection together with other factors.

The United States Equal Opportunity Commission (2018) explicitly defines the hostile work environment in terms of harassment of employees, noting situations in which the employer is to be held liable. Business leaders should focus less on the legal or fiscal ramifications of harassment suits, and more interested in creating an organizational culture and climate that promotes employee success and empowerment. Companies like Chrysler risk losing star talent if they continue to tacitly condone harassment or perpetuate hostile work environments due to weak leadership.
Chrysler certainly should have been held accountable for enabling the… Continue Reading...
is in its simplicity. Samples are selected in a fashion that allows every member in a population an equal opportunity of selection. With randomization any sampling and systematic bias is alleviated. This essentially means that the selected sample is an accurate representation of the whole population. With probability sampling there is less judgment. The researcher does not influence the selection process in any way. This makes the process more accurate and effective. Probability sampling is simple enough to be executed by non-technical researchers. Probability sampling does not include any long or complex processes. It is quite easy to execute.
Onwuegbuzie & Collins (2007) consider that prior to making… Continue Reading...

Moreover, parents should have been made aware of this risk. This has been demonstrated both in S.G. v. Rockford Board of Education and in Doe ex rel. Ortega-Piron v. the Chicago Board of Education. Moreover, federal law under IDEA stipulates that schools must provide adequate supervision of students.
The Arguments… Continue Reading...

Standard 3: Equity and Cultural Responsiveness
Equal opportunity for all students and educational practices that respect all cultures serve as the bases for this standard. The object of this standard is to advance all students’ academic careers, and I am confidently proficient in this area (Professional Standards for Educational Leaders, 2015). My experience in multi-cultural schools and my global perspective frees me to be supportive of all cultures and to promote equity among all students. Cultural responsiveness is a critical aspect of promoting inclusiveness and fostering a spirit of community within the school.

and Jews from taking time off on their holidays, employees could effectively sue for discrimination. Equal opportunity laws protect the rights of workers and prevent discrimination on the grounds of religious difference. Therefore, the coach can work with management to help promote inclusive time off policies that respect the religious holidays of their employees.
Another conflict that may easily arise if employees are not given time off to observe their culture’s religious traditions is with morale. Spiritual and religious observances are integral to achieving the work-life balance that employees need to maintain morale and performance standards (Cash & Gray, 2000). Offering employees time during the… Continue Reading...
kids by way of various programs and offerings. The Wallace Foundation is designed to promote equal opportunity for students. The Principal Pipeline is another good tool that principals can use to help them as they work towards increasing student achievement. I find all of these tools to be useful: they have the potential to really support the educational leadership process and that is what’s most important when you’re looking for resources to help you manage the leadership position that you are in.
The Principal Supervisor Institute is another one that is helpful, as its goal is to increase the accountability of administrators in the education… Continue Reading...
