College Sticker Price -- Fall 95 Policy Review Although civ is perhaps the single biggest fulfilling Stanford s new racestudies requirement Entitled african-american Vernacular English, the premise of the http://www.policyreview.org/fall95/thsack.html
Extractions: Fall 1995, Number74 Recent revelations in U.S. News and World Report 's annual college guide that the cost of a top undergraduate degree now exceeds $100,000 may represent a watershed. At more than $25,000 a year, many students and their families will have to think hard about whether an Ivy-League education is worth the expense. For some parents, the answer will be to send their capable child to a less prestigious university or college for about $50,000 less. Most parents, however, will decide to scrimp, save, and sacrifice and perhaps take out a second mortgage on their home rather than turn down that rare admission offer from a Harvard, Yale, Brown, or Duke. By no means unrepresentative of what is meant by a "prestige" school is Stanford University, consistently ranked in the top five in U.S. News 's survey and privileged by an ideal climate, sumptuous facilities, and a $2-billion endowment. The yearly competition for admission reflects this status: More than 15,000 applicants vie for 1,600 places in the freshman class. A year there does not come cheaply: $25,749 for tuition, room, and board about the cost of a new BMW 325i. For almost every year in the last two decades, Stanford's tuition increases have outpaced inflation and, more importantly, the rate of personal income growth in the United States. The increases primarily fund what Gerhard Casper, Stanford's president, has called a "mini-welfare state" an ever-expanding range of student services and new programs centered around the university's multicultural "experiment." In the 1980s, then-president Donald Kennedy declared that Stanford's multicultural venture was "a bold experiment that must succeed," and the university began spending with a vengeance to make sure it did.

Extractions: Thematic Programs Human Rights Program The Transnationalism Project Transnational flows of capital, people, information and images are transforming our worlds; they are also challenging researchers to develop new theoretical and methodological practices to study and account for them. The Transnationalism Project takes on this challenge. An interdisciplinary research group of faculty and students under the direction of Saskia Sassen, Ralph Lewis Professor of Sociology, the TNP aims to foster collaborative and innovative research into these dynamics through the development of new theoretical perspectives and methodological frameworks. Toward this end, the TNP provides several forums workshops, an annual conference, and informal discussion groups for junior scholars studying transnational flows and processes.

Extractions: African-American Studies in the U.S. In many American universities, African-American and African Studies were the proud products of the 1960s Civil Rights and other movements that paved the way for the recognition of the contribution of African-Americans to the development of the United States in particular and world civilization in general. Another dimension of that struggle was the emergence of African and African-American studies as academic disciplines in universities. Gradually, the programs proliferated across the country and universities took advantage of the existence of a pool of Black scholars to establish vibrant programs that dealt with the experiences of people of African descent in the United States, the Caribbean and other places. African-American Studies at UM The University of Miami set up an Afro-American Studies Center in 1970. The name was later changed to the Caribbean, African and Afro-American Studies (CAAS), and the program offered undergraduate courses and provided other opportunities for students and faculty to engage in research and activities related to the Black experience.
NLM Program Examines African-American Health Care, Voting Issues during the precivil rights era, according to former NLM visiting scholar Dr. David McBride, who heads the African/african-american studies department at Penn http://www.nih.gov/news/NIH-Record/03_23_99/story01.htm
Extractions: NLM Program Examines African-American Health Care, Voting Issues By Carla Garnett On the Front Page... A little girl, call her Audre, has her first experience with medical care at the age of 3 or 4. During an eye exam, her eyes are probed coldly by an apathetic physician. Without explanation, she is exposed to medical instruments and procedures that are uncomfortable and painful. Before she leaves the office, a frightened and miserable Audre overhears the doctor and his associates discussing her "peculiar eyes" and otherwise ridiculing her, "From the looks of her, she's probably simple, too." Would her first impressions of medical care be lasting? Further, what impact would the experience have on Audre as she seeks medical care throughout the rest of her life? Continued... The above recollection was written in Sister Outsider , the autobiography of African-American poet Audre Lorde, but the sentiments could be held by any one of the millions of Blacks reared during the pre-civil rights era, according to former NLM visiting scholar Dr. David McBride, who heads the African/African-American studies department at Penn State University. For about 30 minutes on Feb. 11, he discussed similar Black culture medical encounter issues dating back to the 1960's in his Black history lecture, "The African-American Medical Experience: Perspectives and Prospects." His presentation was part of Black History Month activities sponsored by the National Library of Medicine.
Extractions: Many parents may be shocked to learn that the extra expense has not increased the quality of a undergraduate degree at Stanford, but rather has undermined it. Students can still receive first-rate training in engineering, the sciences, and economics, where results are more testable. But many humanities and social science students will find themselves awash in courses that trivialize logical thinking and seem incapable of taking history, ideas, or truth seriously. Although CIV is perhaps the single biggest waste of student tuition, it represents just the tip of the scandal. Multiculturalism has overrun most of the major humanities and social-sciences departments. The cumulative effect has been a kind of institutionalized silliness. Consider just some of the more blatant examples: The death of the humanities at Stanford does not imply that institutions like it will serve no function whatsoever. In the hard sciences, economics, and engineering, our top colleges and universities will graduate people who have amassed an impressive array of scientific knowledge and technical skills. At the same time, business, law, and medical schools will continue to churn out trained professionals. From the outside perspective of companies seeking to hire new computer engineers, biochemists, or investment bankers, everything will continue as before.
