A Glance at Higher Education: 11/25/07 - 12/2/07

Friday, November 30, 2007. In general, I’d never had much interest in blogs before this assignment, but now enjoy reading education news blogs and even some general news blog as well.

A Glance at Higher Education: NC Community Colleges must admit all illegal immigrants who meet admission standards

http://jeweldv.blogspot.com/2007/11/nc-community-colleges-must-admit-all.html

Wednesday, November 28, 2007. NC Community Colleges must admit all illegal immigrants who meet admission standards. Here’s an interesting post. When it comes down to it, we are all human beings looking for a good life and happiness. Why does it matter so much if someone entered the country legally or not? All US. citizens are descendents of immigrants, or are immigrants who have been granted citizenship. Why does it matter so much that our ancestors got here first so long ago?

http://jeweldv.blogspot.com/2007/11/college-class-sizes-are-growing-whats.html

Monday, November 26, 2007. College class sizes are growing. What's being done about it? I found this article. On The Boston Globe’s website yesterday and thought it interesting. It’s a well-written article and it’s too long to summarize all the components of it, but it’s basically about the growing class sizes of institutions of higher education, and what is being done to continuously foster meaningful learning even with enormous classes.

Thursday, September 27, 2007. Collegian says, "Taser this.". By now you’ve probably heard about the editorial in the Rocky Mountain Collegian. At Colorado State University in response to the tasering of Andrew Myer at the University of Florida that has sparked another debate over free speech. That being said, I still don’t think McSwane should be forced to resign or asked to step down. Just because he is the editor doesn’t mean the blame should fall solely on him and though what the paper...It’s no...
