HIST 2001 Final
TEMPLE TOWN: GENTRIFICATION IN NORTH PHILADELPHIA Zach Holzberg History 2001: The Historian’s Craft April 30, 2021 1 Temple University is located right in the heart of North Philadelphia. It’s a well-established public university that has a history spanning back over a century with deep roots in the community. Due to Temple’s integration with the city of Philadelphia, the history of both are very intertwined, and one point of constant intersection is gentrification. In an article about gentrification from The Encyclopedia of Greater Philadelphia, Dylan Gottlieb defines gentrification as a phenomenon of “a process where affluent individuals settled in lower-income areas.”1 While gentrification does bring in higher-income residents and enables the broadening of the tax base, it comes at the expense of “social disruption and the displacement of existing residents.”2 Due to the population of Philadelphia being majority black, this change was not a welcome one for a large portion of Philadelphia residents. The gentrification of the area surrounding Temple University, which I’ll be referring to as “Temple Town,” has been the subject of scrutiny over the past 70 years and has greatly impacted race relations in the neighborhood. The process of gentrification can be traced back to the 1950s, in a rapidly suburbanizing, post-World War II America. After the suburbs became the home of a wealthy, primarily white populace, “the stage had been set for gentrification in Greater Philadelphia,” with Center City being reimagined as “an attractive residential zone.”3 The mindset of revitalization taken wasn’t limited to Center City, though. -

U.S. Role in the World: Background and Issues for Congress
U.S. Role in the World: Background and Issues for Congress Updated April 6, 2020 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R44891 U.S. Role in the World: Background and Issues for Congress Summary The U.S. role in the world refers to the overall character, purpose, or direction of U.S. participation in international affairs and the country’s overall relationship to the rest of the world. The U.S. role in the world can be viewed as establishing the overall context or framework for U.S. policymakers for developing, implementing, and measuring the success of U.S. policies and actions on specific international issues, and for foreign countries or other observers for interpreting and understanding U.S. actions on the world stage. While descriptions of the U.S. role in the world since the end of World War II vary in their specifics, it can be described in general terms as consisting of four key elements: global leadership; defense and promotion of the liberal international order; defense and promotion of freedom, democracy, and human rights; and prevention of the emergence of regional hegemons in Eurasia. The issue for Congress is whether the U.S. role in the world is changing, and if so, what implications this might have for the United States and the world. A change in the U.S. role could have significant and even profound effects on U.S. security, freedom, and prosperity. It could significantly affect U.S. policy in areas such as relations with allies and other countries, defense plans and programs, trade and international finance, foreign assistance, and human rights. -

Food and Housing Insecurity Among Philadelphia College Students a #Realcollegephl Report
Food and Housing Insecurity Among Philadelphia College Students A #RealCollegePHL Report Sara Goldrick-Rab, David Koppisch, Paula Umaña, Vanessa Coca, and Marissa Meyers April 2020 FOR COLLEGE, 1 COMMUNITY, AND JUSTICE Executive Summary Securing the basic needs of Philadelphia undergraduates is crucial to the city’s efforts to boost college attainment, promote economic well-being, and improve community health. Adequate food and housing are fundamental to learning and influence graduation rates, as well as the ability to repay debt. This report examines the results of the 2019 #RealCollege survey for five Philadelphia colleges and universities. Its release is part of the Hope Center’s #RealCollegePHL initiative, a new Lenfest Foundation-funded effort to build higher education’s capacity via community collaborations to ensure that every student pursuing a college degree has enough to eat and a safe place to sleep. More than 5,600 students from the Community College of Philadelphia, Drexel University, La Salle University, Orleans Technical College, and Temple University responded to the survey. More than half of respondents at the two-year institutions and around one-third of respondents at universities evidenced food and/or housing insecurity. The rates of basic needs insecurity at Philadelphia two- year colleges mirror or exceed national estimates. Moreover, undergraduates who are non-white, female, identify as LGBTQ, and/or have experienced foster care, served in the military service or been incarcerated generally have higher rates of -

And Old) News About Cheating for Distance Educators
The New (and Old) News about Cheating for Distance Educators Scott L. Howell Brigham Young University [email protected] Don Sorensen Caveon Test Security [email protected] Holly Rose Tippets Brigham Young University [email protected] Abstract Those in distance education are faced with a formidable challenge to ensure the identity of test takers and integrity of exam results, especially since students are physically removed from the classroom and distributed across the globe. This news digest will provide distance educators not only with a better understanding and awareness of issues surrounding cheating but also suggest solutions that might be adopted to help mitigate cheating in their programs. While technologies, including “braindump” Web sites and cell phones, are associated with the more common cheating behaviors today, the problem of cheating will always beleaguer distance educators; it is their responsibility to stay current on latest developments in the field of academic dishonesty, employ fitting interventions to mitigate cheating, and do everything possible to preserve the integrity of distance education. Introduction While many distance educators know they need to protect the integrity of their programs and prevent cheating whenever possible, few, if any, want to spend the necessary time or resources required to prevent and detect cheating. Confronting cheaters and spending resources on deterrents, detection, and discipline is not why distance educators go to work each day. However, this responsibility to stay current on old and new ways of cheating is receiving more attention at professional conferences as accreditation and legislative bodies codify expectations for distance education. For the past 10 years regional accrediting bodies have required programs to “ensure the integrity of student work,” (Accreditation Handbook, 2003, p. -

Conservative Support for Ending Life Tenure at the Supreme Court September 25, 2020
Conservative Support for Ending Life Tenure at the Supreme Court September 25, 2020 Supreme Court Justices Antonin Scalia, Associate Justice “You always wonder whether you’re losing your grip and whether your current opinions are not as good as your old ones.” [New York Magazine, 10/04/13] John Roberts, Chief Justice “Setting a term of, say, 15 years would ensure that federal judges would not lose all touch with reality through decades of ivory tower existence. It would also provide a more regular and greater degree of turnover among the judges.” [New York Times, 07/30/05] Sandra Day O’Connor, Associate Justice “Because it is an unfortunate fact of life that physical and mental capacity sometimes diminish with age, the people may wish to replace some older judges in order to satisfy the legitimate, indeed compelling, public interest in maintaining a judiciary fully capable of performing judges’ demanding tasks.” [Gregory v. Ashcroft, 501 U.S. 452 (1991)] Public Officials Josh Hawley, Senator (R-MO) “What if justices were not appointed for life? Or, more precisely, what if they did not serve on the Supreme Court for life? […] If they know they will not remain on the Court for an extended period of time, and that the rules they craft will shortly be applied by someone else, they may be far less likely to charge so eagerly into constitutional politics. Article III demands that judges be appointed for life, but it does not necessarily require that Supreme Court justices serve for life — provided they remain judges when not on the Court. -

The West's Turkey Conundrum
THE NEW GEOPOLITICS FEBRUARY 2018 EUROPE THE WEST’S TURKEY CONUNDRUM AMANDA SLOAT BROOKINGS – ROBERT BOSCH FOUNDATION TRANSATLANTIC INITIATIVE THE WEST’S TURKEY CONUNDRUM AMANDA SLOAT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Policymakers in the United States and European Union are struggling with how to manage their relations with Turkey. What makes the country such a conundrum is that its problematic leadership faces real threats. Turkey is confronting challenges from the aftermath of the July 2016 coup attempt and the destabilizing effects of the Syrian war. Yet the country’s president is growing more authoritarian, using virulent anti-Western rhetoric, and making foreign policy choices contrary to the interests of the trans-Atlantic alliance. The policy goal is navigating this gray zone today to preserve the possibility of better relations in the future. The paper begins by examining the main domestic and regional challenges facing Turkey, as well as how these issues impact the country’s relations with its Western allies. It then outlines three possible policy responses for the United States and Europe: abandonment, transactionalism, and engagement. The paper makes the case for taking a long view, as the current period before Turkey’s parliamentary and presidential elections (due sometime before November 2019) will remain difficult. The degree of political, security, socio-economic, and cultural integration between Turkey and the West requires a nuanced and supple style of relationship management. Specifically, the paper advocates for constructive and principled engagement. This entails widening the aperture of government outreach to more officials on a broader range of shared interests; using the prospect of deeper trade and investment links to encourage better governance; expanding people-to-people ties and supporting civil society; and staying true to Western values by speaking out about rule of law and human rights abuses.
