  • Things Get Heated in the Kitchen: Sodexo Controversy Is Fueled by Moravian Students by Katie Makoski Reporter
    t he Volume CXXIV, Issue NumberCOMENIAN 6 Moravian College’s Student Newspaper Thursday, March 3, 2011 Things Get Heated in the Kitchen: Sodexo Controversy is Fueled by Moravian Students By Katie Makoski Reporter Recently, miscommunications among students and staff have led to much confusion and controversy surrounding Moravian’s dining services. The tension finally came to a boil on February 10, when junior Armando Chapelliquen and adjunct political science professor Faramarz Farbod hosted a formal discussion concerning the allegations that Sodexo, Moravian’s food supplier, is guilty of human rights violations. Immediately upon hearing this, Don, a worker in the Marketplace, avidly defended his boss. He asserted that in the thirty-five years that he has worked for Sodexo, he has never had a problem with the company. He further stated that if Moravian were to cut ties with Sodexo there would be a chance that he and some of his coworkers would lose their jobs. photo courtesy of www.seiu21la.org Members of the dining services staff attended the discussion in order to voice these concerns. Another cause for confusion was the petition expressing dissatisfaction with Moravian’s dining services that was signed by four hundred students last semester. The petition, which called for an end to mandatory meal plans for freshman and residents of certain dorms, more options for people with dietary restrictions, and more respect for the workers, was unrelated to the discussion. In fact, these issues are not the fault of the Sodexo Sodexo is the twenty-first largest corporation in the years and has pledged to continue to donate millions of Corporation—it is Moravian College that determines world, with 380,000 workers in eighty different countries.

  • IPEDS DATA FEEDBACK REPORT 2 Haverford College
    Image description. Cover Image End of image description. What Is IPEDS? The Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) is a system of survey components that collects data from all institutions that provide postsecondary education and are eligible to receive Title IV funding across the United States and other U.S. jurisdictions. These data are used at the federal and state level for policy analysis and development; at the institutional level for benchmarking and peer analysis; and by students and parents, through the College Navigator (https://nces.ed.gov/collegenavigator/), an online tool to aid in the college search process. Additional information about IPEDS can be found on the website at https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds. What Is the Purpose of This Report? The Data Feedback Report is intended to provide institutions a context for examining the data they submitted to IPEDS. The purpose of this report is to provide institutional executives a useful resource and to help improve the quality and comparability of IPEDS data. What Is in This Report? The figures in this report provide a selection of indicators for your institution to compare with a group of similar institutions. The figures draw from the data collected during the 2019-20 IPEDS collection cycle and are the most recent data available. The inside cover of this report lists the pre-selected comparison group of institutions and the criteria used for their selection. The Methodological Notes at the end of the report describe additional information about these indicators and the pre-selected comparison group. Where Can I Do More with IPEDS Data? Each institution can access previously released Data Feedback Reports from 2005 and customize this 2020 report by using a different comparison group and IPEDS variables of its choosing.

Casey, Jr. 2000 Market St., #1870 Philadelphia, PA 19103 Senator Pat Toomey 8 Penn Center 1628 John F Kennedy Blvd #1702 Philadelphia, PA 19103 Dear Senators Casey and Toomey, As presidents of Pennsylvania colleges and universities, we write to urge your co- sponsorship of the Bar Removal of Individuals Who Dream and Grow Our Economy (or BRIDGE) Act, introduced by Senators Durbin and Graham. We feel strongly that this bi- partisan legislation offers appropriate protection to hundreds of thousands of young people who strengthen our nation by pursuing educational and employment opportunities currently allowed by the DACA program. Among those supported by DACA are students who are thriving on our campuses, making significant contributions to our educational missions while preparing to advance our state's and our country's economic and social well- being. The BRIDGE Act therefore represents a noble and pragmatic expression of our national interest toward which we Pennsylvanians are passionately dedicated. Your co- sponsorship of this bill will send a powerful signal to our constituencies, the Senate, and the country that Pennsylvania stands behind those who work hard to improve society and supports a judicious approach to immigration status. Respectfully, Dr. Lex O. McMillan, III; Albright College Dr. James H. Mullen, Jr.; Allegheny College Dr, Thomas F. Flynn; Alvernia University Dr, Robert R. Johnson; The American College of Financial Services Dr. Nicolette Christensen; Arcadia University Dr. Kimberly E. Cassidy; Bryn Mawr College Dr. John C. Bravman; Bucknell University Dr. Donald B.

The rating reflects our assessment of Juniata's modest enrollment growth, adequate demand profile, and adequate financial resource ratios. We believe the college's increasing financial aid needs could further pressure operating performance and inhibit net tuition revenue growth. We will continue to monitor Juniata's operating performance and the upcoming transitions in its senior management team. The rating reflects our opinion of the college's general obligation (GO) pledge, supported by its: • Adequate financial resources with cash and investments of $106.8 million as of May 31, 2013, or 139% of adjusted operating expenses and 293% of debt outstanding; • Modest enrollment growth and adequate demand profile over the past five years despite a highly competitive market for students; • Historically balanced financial performance with a small full-accrual surplus in fiscal 2013; and • Moderate maximum annual debt service (MADS) burden of 5.2% with roughly 1.4x MADS coverage in fiscal 2013.
