After providing a theoretical framework of the problem of the limits to contractual autonomy arising from the horizontal application of fundamental rights (Drittwirkung), the work focuses on its most recent developments, especially in case law, from a comparative perspective. It identifies the paradoxes and logical inconsistencies that characterise the traditional approaches, and puts forward an alternative conceptual framework. 2 Offers they can’t refuse: a (negative) assessment of the impact on business and society at-large of the recent fortune of anti-discrimination laws and policies 1. The reference context: the horizontal application of fundamental rights Anti-discrimination law has progressively broadened the scope of protection limited to certain categories individuals, both through legislation and case law. This path towards what Italian legal philosopher Norberto Bobbio called ‘the age of rights’1 is generally welcomed by observers.

  • How Highly Competitive Colleges Admit Their Students
    HOW HIGHLY COMPETITIVE COLLEGES ADMIT THEIR STUDENTS A typical admissions committee at a highly selective college meets throughout March to evaluate each applicant's record: (a) high school transcript (b) standardized test scores (Over 800 colleges and universities nationwide have eliminated or de- emphasized test scores in the admissions process because, according to a report published by the Educational Conservancy, “Test scores do not equal merit” and “high school achievement is paramount in the admissions equation.”) (c) recommendations from high school counselor, teachers (d) statement of primary interests and goals; student essay (e) student’s extracurricular activities (f) personal qualities as reflected in a college interview and through essays and recommendations (g) a student’s demonstrated interest in the school The application is generally read by three members of the admissions committee. The student, for example, may be rated on a scale of 1 to 5 on academic quality, personal strengths and extracurricular commitments, with 15 as a perfect score. In terms of academic quality, they want to know: can this person do the work here? What will this person contribute in the classroom? Has the student taken full advantage of the academic program at his/her school? Academic quality is the FIRST thing an admissions officer looks at when considering a candidate. Personal attributes are harder to measure. The admissions committee wants to determine what the student will contribute outside the classroom and how he/she stacks up on initiative, achievement, interests. Often the needs and priorities of the particular college carry considerable weight. Certain groups receive special consideration: athletes who are talented enough to play at the college level; minority students; and alumni children.

    Pursuing More Equitable Technology Integration in Elementary Education: Post-Intentional Phenomenological Research Productions and Provocations A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Tiffany Nielsen-Winkelman IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Dr. Cassandra Scharber and Dr. Mark Vagle, Co-Advisers August 2018 © Tiffany Nielsen-Winkelman 2018 Acknowledgements “Remember who you are and what you stand for.” - Joni Marti Growing up my mother said this phrase to me every time I left the house. She intended the phrase to mean ‘make good choices’ - along the lines of staying out of trouble, making smart decisions, and treating others as I’d like to be treated. Yet, this simple phrase has evolved into an all-encompassing embodiment of who I am - as an educator, and as a human. I stand for inclusive education. I stand for inclusive communities. I stand for productively disrupting the status quo in education to build a more just future. I stand for service through education as my life’s work. This dissertation, as an embodiment of how I “remember who I am and what I stand for”, was made possible by each of you. In sincere appreciation to all who have supported this journey, thank you. While it is utterly impossible to acknowledge and honor all who made this dissertation come to fruition, I would like to recognize the following for helping me grow not only as a scholar, but more importantly as a person: ★ My co-advisers - Dr. Cassandra Scharber and Dr. Mark Vagle, for pushing me to the boundaries of my understandings so I may think differently and for facilitating my work at the intersections of learning technologies and elementary education fields.

But not all members of “Generation Columbine (/story/news/2018/02/22/generation­columbine­has­never­ known­world­without­school­shootings/361656002/)” cling to the rhetoric making household names out of some of their peers, those students calling for tighter gun control after the deadly Feb. 14 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla. (Photo: MICHAEL REYNOLDS, EPA­EFE) Many American high schoolers do not blame school shootings on guns and don't argue the answer is tighter restrictions on firearms. It's a view at odds with many of their classmates, yet born from the same safety concerns. “There’s many things that go into a solution for this, and it’s not guns,” said Melanie Clark, an 18­year­old high school senior from Tallahassee. “We’re definitely in the minority for believing that it’s not guns.” As gun­control advocates their age gain popularity and others cast their generation as anti­firearm, pro­gun students feel at times overlooked. But polling suggests young people aren’t overwhelmingly for gun control. Family members embrace following the Feb. 14 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, in Parkland, Fla.

  • Young Activists Are America's Future
    V O X P O P U L I Mar 11 Young Activists are America’s Future candace baker Just one week after a horrific massacre in Parkland, Florida, left 17 students and faculty of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School dead at the hands of a former student, survivors and families of the deceased gathered for a CNN-hosted town hall to discuss gun control. Also in attendance were U.S. Senators Marco Rubio and Bill Nelson, U.S. Representative Ted Deutch, Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel and National Rifle Association (NRA) spokeswoman Dana Loesch. Despite the list of recognizable adults, the stars of the event were the students who were still reeling and grieving. Despite the circumstances, their voices reflected their anger and determination. They spoke eloquently and without mercy toward the targets of their questions regarding the future of gun control. These high schoolers have made their names known on the national stage through their demands for action to be taken on the matter of gun control. Emma Gonzalez, a senior at Marjory Stoneman Douglas, gave a rousing speech at an anti-gun rally just days after the shooting, saying, “If all our government and president can do is send thoughts and prayers, then it’s time for victims to be the change we need to see.” Cameron Kasky, another survivor, called out Senator Rubio at the town hall for taking donations from the NRA. David Hogg, a student journalist who filmed a video about gun laws during the shooting, has called for a spring break boycott of Florida vacations until the state passes gun control legislation.
