Class Descriptions: Proposing Change in Student Services This fall the students in this seminar will do a joint policy paper based on Eugene Bardach’s book on how to write a policy paper. The subject will be: How should student services be expanded or revised to take more responsibility for Student’s Balance between Work and School. (Part of the assignment will be to correctly define the issue)

Guest Lecturer, Dr. Dennis Jacobs, EPE graduate and former executive director of the Work Study College Consortium will give a lecture proposing a theory.

From Affirmative Action to Diversity; the Effect on the Kentucky Plan The Kentucky Plan for the integration of higher education in Kentucky is being revised to reflect the Supreme Court decision on the University of Michigan Admission Case. The Current Supreme Court will consider some issues regarding affirmative action in the public schools in this current term. Implications for Kentucky will be considered.

Guest lecturer, Sandra Moore, EPE PhD Candidate and Diversity Officer for EKU.

The American University in the Global Context Although the American Higher Education system is considered by many to be the best in the world (as least economically) Europe, Australia and other regions are gearing up to compete, and America’s competitiveness is hampered by the increasing Visa/travel restrictions imposed by 9/11. Although the registration of foreign students began climbing for the first time since then the numbers have not yet returned to pre-9/11 levels. Because of this, too many American students remain unaware of Global issues.

Guest lecturer on current SEVIS status: Alison Tabor, EPE PhD Candidate.
