Students of color

Using data from the Cooperative Institutional Research program at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), in a sample of former students who attended over 184 different institutions, students were asked to report the racial makeup of their current friends, neighborhoods, and workplace. Students who attended more diverse colleges (where at least 25 percent were students of color) had more diverse friendship groups, lived in more diverse neighborhoods, and worked in places that had more diverse... 

One of the challenges that Big School faced was communicating inclusion-relevant data to various internal and external stakeholders. So, even those who wanted to make a difference didn t know the school s pain points or successes. This likely spurred this manager s vision that a more inclusive Big School has data that allows us to understand the retention issues associated with students of color and a retention plan with strategies to address empireal realities. ... 

Third, nationwide, students of color are a steadily growing percentage of the public school population. According to the U.S. Department of Education (1997), percentages of students of color grew from 22% in 1974 to 36% in 1997. The percentages in 1997 were as follows 64% White, 17% African American, 14% Latino, 4% Asian American and Pacific Islander (aapi), and 1% Native American. Compared to 1974, Whites decreased by 14%, Native Americans remained the same at 1%, aapis increased by 3%, African Americans increased by 2%, and Latinos increased by 8%. 

The initial objective of this series of books has been to establish a coherent body of explanatory information on the principles and application technology of relevance for students preparing to take the Associateship examinations of the Society. This particular book has been directed specifically to the subject areas covered by Section A of Paper B the organic chemistry and application of dyes and pigments and of the auxiliaries used with them in textile coloration processes. However, many qualified chemists and colourists interested in the properties of colorants and their auxiliaries have found the First Edition useful as a work of reference. For several reasons it has been convenient to divide the material into two separate volumes 1. Colorants, 2. Auxiliaries. Although fluorescent brighteners share some features in common with colorants, they have been treated as auxiliary products in this book. 

The authors wish to reiterate that the Color Atlas of Pharmacology cannot replace a textbook of pharmacology, nor does it aim to do so. Rather, this little book is designed to arouse the curiosity of the pharmacological novice to help students of medicine and pharmacy gain an overview of the discipline and to review certain bits of information in a concise format and, finally, to enable the experienced therapist to recall certain factual data, with perhaps some occasional amusement. 

This paperback atlas is intended for students of medicine and the biological sciences. It provides an introduction to biochemistry, but with its modular structure it can also be used as a reference book for more detailed information. The 216 color plates provide knowledge in the field of biochemistry, accompanied by detailed information in the text on the facing page. The degree of dif -culty of the subject-matter is indicated by symbols in the text ...

For example, let s say a school is creating a new school logo. Students have to vote on one color for the background and one color for the school name. They have six colors to choose from for the background and eight colors to choose from for the school name. How many possible combinations of colors are possible ... 

Picking a text book for this group of students proved to be a difficult problem. The most important change in freshman chemistry books over the last decade has been the introduction of color to illustrate descriptive chemistry. The importance of this advance should not be minimized—it helps bring out the elegance that exists in the practical aspects of chemistry. However, it has dramatically increased the cost of producing textbooks, and as a result it has become important to pitch these books to the widest possible audience. In general that has meant a reduction in the level of mathematics. Most...
