  • Pink Collar Work
    September 2017 Pink collar work Gender and the Ohio workplace Lea Kayali Introduction Women are an essential part of the Ohio and national workforce. However, men consistently earn more than women. We call this wage disparity the gender pay gap. Improving jobs and compensation for women will boost our economy and provide more opportunity and security to women and their families. Husbands, sons and fathers depend on the salaries of women in their lives. Equal pay concerns all of us. Analysts cite several reasons for the gender wage gap. These include discrimination, differential compensation for jobs that have historically attracted men and women, occupational choice, level of labor force participation, and hours of work. This report provides an overview of the job market women face and considers these variables and the effect they have on the gap. Women in the workforce: An overview Women are a little less than half (48 percent) of Ohio’s workers.1 Men are more likely both to be in the labor force (68 percent) than women (57 percent) and to be employed (65 vs. 57 percent). Women comprise a far higher share of part-time workers than men do. It’s hard for families with children to send all adults into the workforce full time, so the lower-paid parent often works part time to manage more of the parenting.

  • 6-908 Intellectual Property Policy
    Policy Number: 6-908 Policy Name: Intellectual Property Policy Policy Revision Dates: 9/2018, 9/17, 8/10, 3/01, 6/99, 5/96, Page 1 2/88, 9/87, 9/85 6-908 Intellectual Property Policy The Arizona Board of Regents and the three universities that the board governs, are all dedicated to teaching, research, and the extension of knowledge to the public. The university community recognizes its responsibility to produce and disseminate knowledge. Inherent in this responsibility is the need to encourage the production of Scholarly Works and the development of Intellectual Property (IP), some of which may have potential commercial value. These activities contribute to the professional development of the individuals involved, enhance the reputation of the university in which they work, provide additional educational opportunities for participating students, and promote the public welfare. Board-Owned IP should be appropriately managed in the best interest of the state and the university system. This policy addresses ownership rights and revenue sharing for Board-Owned IP. Compliance with this policy is required for all employees as part of the terms of their employment. This policy also applies to non-employee students of the university and to anyone else who creates intellectual property with significant use of board or university resources. University-wide trademarks, logos, and other board or university indicia or identifiers are not subject to or covered by this policy. Definitions of capitalized terms are included in the final section of this policy. A. Ownership of Intellectual Property. 1. Board-Owned IP: a. The board owns all intellectual property in each of the following categories: (1) Any intellectual property created by an employee in the course and scope of employment; and (2) Any intellectual property created with the significant use of board or university resources.

  • Slavery and Reparative Justice by Professor Sir Geoff Palmer British Slavery in the West Indies Was Chattel Slavery and Was Lega
    Slavery and Reparative Justice by Professor Sir Geoff Palmer British slavery in the West Indies was Chattel Slavery and was legal. This slavery was supported by a Slave Trade which was abolished in 1807. One important aspect of the abolition of the slave trade was that the powerful Scottish politician Henry Dundas proposed successfully in Parliament in 1792 that this trading in slaves should be “gradually” abolished. This prolonged the Slave Trade for another 15 years during which time about 630,000 African people were transported into slavery. There were about 800,000 British Slaves in the West Indies when slavery was finally abolished in 1838. About 30% of the slave plantations in the British West Indies were owned by Scots. There is now significant evidence of Scotland’s involvement in this slavery. It is worth noting that documents such as the Jamaica Telephone Directory contain a significant number of Scottish surnames. Many place names in Jamaica are Scottish in origin and the flags of Jamaica and Scotland are of the same design. The year 2007 was the 200 th anniversary of the abolition of the Slave Trade. Since this date there has been a significant growth in interest in this slavery. Evidence seems to suggest that many Scottish people were not aware of the extent to which Scotland was involved in the practice of British slavery in the West Indies. It is this ‘public interest’ that has induced institutions to adopt a more serious approach to the study of Chattel Slavery. This extends from schools to universities to national and international organisations.

  • Poverty and Human Rights Thomas Pogge Human Rights Would Be Fully Realized, If All Human Beings Had Secure Access to the Objects of These Rights
    Poverty and Human Rights Thomas Pogge Human rights would be fully realized, if all human beings had secure access to the objects of these rights. Our world is today very far from this ideal. Piecing together the current global record, we find that most of the current massive underfulfillment of human rights is more or less directly connected to poverty. The connection is direct in the case of basic social and economic human rights, such as the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of oneself and one’s family, including food, clothing, housing, and medical care. The connection is more indirect in the case of civil and political human rights associated with democratic government and the rule of law. Desperately poor people, often stunted, illiterate, and heavily preoccupied with the struggle to survive, typically lack effective means for resisting or rewarding their rulers, who are therefore likely to rule them oppressively while catering to the interests of other, often foreign, agents (governments and corporations, for instance) who are more capable of reciprocation. The statistics are appalling. Out of a total of 6575 million human beings, 830 million are reportedly chronically undernourished, 1100 million lack access to safe water and 2600 million lack access to basic sanitation (UNDP 2006: 174, 33). About 2000 million lack access to essential drugs (www.fic.nih.gov/about/summary.html). Some 1000 million have no adequate shelter and 2000 million lack electricity (UNDP 1998: 49). Some 799 million adults are illiterate (www.uis.unesco.org). Some 250 million children between 5 and 14 do wage work outside their household with 170.5 million of them involved in hazardous work and 8.4 million in the “unconditionally worst” forms of child labor, which involve slavery, forced or bonded labor, forced recruitment for use in armed conflict, forced prostitution or pornography, or the production or trafficking of illegal drugs (ILO 2002: 9, 11, 17, 18).

After all, many of these categories were discovered and researched by 'experts', so they must have validity.

Far from being objective fact, ideology rests on values and A Critical Analysis ofthe Birth ofthe assumptions that cannot be proven, and that serve some people better than others. Field in Its Social Context This chapter illustrates the hidden ideology in 'scientific' cate­ gories and resulting school structures, by examining one category: learning disabilities. The chapter will show that, while discussions Christine E.

  • Criteria for Promotion to the Rank of Teaching Professor Teaching
    Criteria for Promotion to the rank of Teaching Professor Teaching excellence beyond Senior Lecturer Since senior lecturers are required to stay current in their discipline and pedagogy, but not required to seek promotion to Teaching Professor, the evidence supporting promotion should go beyond the excellent teaching typically expected of a senior lecturer. To qualify as a Teaching Professor, the candidate must have a record of accomplishment that advances the teaching mission of Indiana University. The criteria for granting long-term contracts after a probationary period shall be analogous to the criteria for granting tenure, except that lecturers shall earn the right to a long-term contract on the basis of their excellence only in those responsibilities that may be assigned to them. Each school will establish procedures and specific criteria for review of individuals concerning the renewal of long-term contracts or their equivalent.1 Promotion to Senior Lecturer or higher is based on continued improvement in and demonstration of excellence in teaching or service, with at least satisfactory performance in the remaining area.2 The dossier should convincingly substantiate a case in accordance both with the criteria in the Indiana University Academic Handbook and with any approved unit promotion and tenure guidelines. Promotion to Teaching Professor is analogous to being promoted from Associate to Full Professor. While no specific distinctions are made between being promoted to Associate Professor, to Professor, to Senior Lecturer or to Teaching Professor, higher levels of promotion will expect greater demonstrated achievement— in merit and in impact. However, what indicates excellence—for example, in research for a person seeking promotion to associate professor—is quantitatively and qualitatively different from what is expected of a person seeking promotion to professor.3 Lecturers are academic appointees whose primary responsibility is teaching.

  • Special Rapporteur on Extreme Poverty and Human Rights
    Statement on Visit to the United Kingdom, by Professor Philip Alston, United Nations Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights London, 16 November 2018 Introduction The UK is the world’s fifth largest economy, it contains many areas of immense wealth, its capital is a leading centre of global finance, its entrepreneurs are innovative and agile, and despite the current political turmoil, it has a system of government that rightly remains the envy of much of the world. It thus seems patently unjust and contrary to British values that so many people are living in poverty. This is obvious to anyone who opens their eyes to see the immense growth in foodbanks and the queues waiting outside them, the people sleeping rough in the streets, the growth of homelessness, the sense of deep despair that leads even the Government to appoint a Minister for suicide prevention and civil society to report in depth on unheard of levels of loneliness and isolation. And local authorities, especially in England, which perform vital roles in providing a real social safety net have been gutted by a series of government policies. Libraries have closed in record numbers, community and youth centers have been shrunk and underfunded, public spaces and buildings including parks and recreation centers have been sold off. While the labour and housing markets provide the crucial backdrop, the focus of this report is on the contribution made by social security and related policies. The results? 14 million people, a fifth of the population, live in poverty. Four million of these are more than 50% below the poverty line,1 and 1.5 million are destitute, unable to afford basic essentials.2 The widely respected Institute for Fiscal Studies predicts a 7% rise in child poverty between 2015 and 2022, and various sources predict child poverty rates of as high as 40%.3 For almost one in every two children to be poor in twenty-first century Britain is not just a disgrace, but a social calamity and an economic disaster, all rolled into one.

  • Holland=S Occupational Personality Types
    HOLLAND=S OCCUPATIONAL PERSONALITY TYPES John Holland, Ph.D., professor emeritus at Johns Hopkins University, is a psychologist who devoted his professional life to researching issues related to career choice and satisfaction. He developed a well-known theory, and designed several assessments and supporting materials to assist people in making effective career choices. His theory and assessment tools have helped millions of people worldwide and are supported by hundreds of research studies. Holland’s Theory Holland found that people needing help with career decisions can be supported by understanding their resemblance to the following six ideal vocational personality types: Realistic (R) Investigative (I) Artistic (A) Social (S) Enterprising (E) Conventional (C) Work settings can also be categorized by their resemblance to six similar model work environments. Because people search for environments that allow them to express their interests, skills, attitudes and values, and take on interesting problems and agreeable roles, work environments become populated by individuals with related occupational personality types. Holland’s Six Personality Types The descriptions of Holland’s personality types refer to idealized or pure types. Holland’s personality types are visually represented by a hexagonal model. The types closest to each other on the hexagon have the most characteristics in common. Those types that are furthest apart, i.e., opposites on the hexagon, have the least in common. Listed below are the six Holland Occupational Personality Types. The descriptions of “pure types” will rarely be an exact fit for any one person. Your personality will more likely combine several types to varying degrees. To get a better picture of how your interests and skills relate to the types and to identify your dominant type, you can highlight the phrases in each description that are true for you.
