  • Education, Innovation and Growth
    1. Stevens Institute of Technology, located in Hoboken, New Jersey, is one of the nation’s premier technology universities – a leading educator of undergraduate and graduate engineers, a leading center for research on issues of critical importance to New Jersey communities and a long-time source of technological innovation. At the same time, Stevens has long been a major contributor to the economic vitality of the City of Hoboken, Hudson County and the State of New Jersey, and since 2011 its impact has by several measures grown significantly. However, to maintain its role as a major contributor to the life of the city, the region and the state, Stevens will need to grow – to continue expanding its educational programs, its research enterprise, its role in the development of new businesses and its partnerships with local communities. To support this growth, the university will be investing more than $420 million over the next five years in the construction of new and renovation of existing facilities. This report assesses Stevens’ current economic impact, both locally and at the state level, the impact of its projected growth, and how that growth will benefit both the local community and the state. Stevens is a significant enterprise in its own right – one of Hoboken’s largest employers, a buyer of goods and services and a sponsor of campus construction projects. The university also attracts thousands of students who through their day-to-day spending off-campus, also contribute to the strength of the local economy. Moreover, the projected growth associated with the Stevens 10-year Strategic Plan (2012-2022) will ensure that the benefits Hoboken derives from university and student spending will continue to grow as well.

  • Separate but Equal on College Campuses: a Case of “Déjà Vu All Over Again”
    Research in Higher Education Journal Volume 38 Separate but Equal on College Campuses: A Case of “Déjà Vu All Over Again” C.W. Von Bergen Southeastern Oklahoma State University Martin S. Bressler Southeastern Oklahoma State University David W. Whitlock Southeastern Oklahoma State University ABSTRACT At many U.S. universities, the tendency to self-segregate has become a familiar and accepted occurrence, evident in a wide array of college settings including housing and social gatherings, classes and training events, protests, and grievance sessions, and even separate commencement events. In many ways, this trend represents a return to the “separate but equal” doctrine ruled by the U.S. Supreme Court in Brown v. The Board of Education of Topeka (1954) as unconstitutional, which gave birth to the Civil Rights Movement and integration. This further resulted in numerous benefits related to cross-racial interaction and increased ethnic heterogeneity. Today, however, some college leaders endorse student petitions for “safe spaces” and separate, distinct programming based on various demographic characteristics and assert that such efforts enhance the college experience and create a greater sense of belonging for underrepresented student groups. Segregation appears to be re-emerging at many U.S. universities as an example of déjà vu all over again. In this paper, the authors argue that segregation of racial and ethnic groups on university and college campuses generally appear to exacerbate racial tensions and reinforce in-group and out-group interactions and biases. However, multicultural integration builds trust, reduces out-group biases, increases friendships across racial and ethnic lines, and advances racial reconciliation. Keywords: neo-segregation, safety-ism, homophily, intergroup contact theory, social identity theory Copyright statement: Authors retain the copyright to the manuscripts published in AABRI journals.

  • Education in Canada: Key Results from the 2016 Census Released at 8:30 A.M
    Education in Canada: Key results from the 2016 Census Released at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time in The Daily, Wednesday, November 29, 2017 In 2016, more than half (54.0%) of Canadians aged 25 to 64 had either college or university qualifications, up from 48.3% in 2006. Canada continues to rank first among the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries in the proportion of college and university graduates. Today, Statistics Canada is releasing data from the 2016 Census on the education of Canadians. This release presents a portrait of the changing face of education in Canada and how Canadians are equipping themselves through education for the jobs of today. Canada has the highest proportion of college and university graduates in the OECD due to its large college sector, not seen in most other OECD countries. In 2016, 22.4% of the Canadian population aged 25 to 64 had a college diploma as the highest educational qualification, compared with an estimated 8% among OECD countries overall. In 2016, 40.7% of young women aged 25 to 34 had a bachelor's degree or higher, up from 32.8% in 2006. Young men have responded to job opportunities and earnings incentives by moving into the skilled trades sector. The proportion of young men with an apprenticeship certificate increased from 4.9% in 2006 to 7.8% in 2016. First Nations people, Métis and Inuit all made gains in postsecondary education at every level. In 2016, 10.9% of Aboriginal people overall aged 25 to 64 had a bachelor's degree or higher, up from 7.7% in 2006.
