Abstract
Product differentiation is defined as ?the modification of a product, usually in minor ways, to make it more attractive to the target market and to differentiate it from competitors' products" (Encyclopedia, 2004, par. 1). This paper discusses the concept of product differentiation, as well as how the University of Phoenix can use this concept to add value to its products or services.
From the Paper
"In addition to offering weekend and night courses, the University of Phoenix could also offer day courses. Although their competitors already offer mostly day courses, by having them, the University of Phoenix could not only capture night students but also day time students as well. In addition, the University of Phoenix could further diversify their courses to be location specific. For example, in areas where agriculture is prominent, the University of Phoenix could offer degrees that are agriculturally geared. A final example of how the University of Phoenix could differentiate their services from their competitors would be to offer degrees via correspondence courses.''

From the Paper
"The career that I had as a healthcare salesperson was a detriment to my well being. The many facets of the health care profession are respectable, but surely I knew that I had a greater propensity to raise my educational standards and attain a more satisfying field. Through experience, I learned that education was a key factor in changing my life from a mere salesperson to a person capable of real growth potential. Previous experience in problem solving was not a serious issue when I was working in the health care industry. The basic tenants of language, however, were a problem in attaining the right information through research options."

Abstract
This paper is a self-assessment describing the writer's personal and learning experiences at the University of Phoenix. The essay is a reflection of the writer's attitude about independent self-directed learning, adult learning, his/her feelings about online learning, knowledge management and time management.
From the Paper
"I am a very creative person who was very active in my participation on the online adult program at the University of Phoenix. I do not consider myself a spectator, especially when it comes to my education. My Creative learning style opens many different areas, because creative people are usually always curious. Some of the downfalls of being a creative learner are constantly being misjudged as innocent or na?ve by other individuals. Adapting to the business ethics, and relating to professionals is sometimes difficult. Creative individuals usually attract a great deal of attention and recognition, which sometimes causes a great deal of conflict with co-workers who behave according to business standards."

Universal Reason, Universal Mind, 2002.
A discussion of some of the parallels and differences in Kantian and Buddhist assumptions.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how there is a marked similarity between Immanuel Kant?s ideas of the empty universe and universal reason and the Buddhist idea of the universal mind. It attempts to explore these parallels, while also being mindful of the difference that exists between Kantian and Buddhist thought. It analyzes how both Kant and Buddhism demonstrate that the universe is empty since it is not different from the not-self ? because it cannot differentiate, for in order to differentiate it must somehow have cognitive access to the object outside itself. It also demonstrates how the crucial difference between Kant and Buddhist thought is one of quality. Kant assumes that the universe is inherently empty and neutral and his attempt is to demonstrate it to be so. On the other hand, Buddhist internalizes this process and accepts the fact that the universe is empty but that it must be experienced by the individual mind ? by way of the empty, universal mind, the individual mind may also become empty, free of the distinction/perception between subject and object.
From the Paper
"Kant assumes that the universe or universal reason is innate by way of this distinction. In order to grasp that a representation is a representation of an object, a being must be able to comprehend several things. First, that being must recognize that there is an object that the representation is a representation of. Next, there has to be a recognition that the representation is different from the thing represented. Thus, the representation of an object is a bridge that connects a being?s consciousness with the things that surround it. Thus universal reason must be able to reason itself, to see itself, plus the representation, and the object. The representation is the means by which a being can have any awareness of objects as objects at all."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the higher learning institutions available in the United States for the hearing impaired. It focuses on two schools--The National Technical Institute for the Deaf and Gallaudet University. It gives a history of the schools and discusses the many challenges they face today in providing top class education for a limited community.
From the Paper
"Although many colleges offer programs that cater to the deaf and hearing-impaired, there are few that exist to serve them almost exclusively. Two of the most widely known of education establishments for the deaf and hearing-impaired are The National Technical Institute for the Deaf and Gallaudet University. Of the 7889 full-time students and 3400 part-time students enrolled in The National Technical Institute for the Deaf in 1999, only 960 are full-time deaf students. In contrast, of the 1365 full-time students enrolled the same year at Gallaudet University, 1188 of those are deaf, and 138 of its 220 part-time students are deaf (Gallaudet Research Institute)."

Abstract
This paper presents a study carried out that shows that university rank has a significant effect on the salary of Vice Chancellors (VC) because of limitations in financial resources at these institutions. Other findings in this study are that two factors hold primary influence in the remuneration package awarded to VCs at UK universities. These factors are internal pay scales of other academic employees and external pay scales of CEOs in other similar size firms in the UK.

Appendix A: VIice-Chancellors' Annual Salaries 2006-2007
From the Paper
"In a report published March 21 2006, it is related in the University of Surrey Students' Newspaper as follows: "Unions representing university teachers are calling for an inquiry in light of the recent revelations that Vice Chancellors have enjoyed a 25% pay increase over the past three years. Among the top paid Vice Chancellors in the country, the University of Surrey was the third highest. Although the national average for the VC increase was around a quarter, UniS and Cardiff gave their Vice-Chancellors the biggest rise with a 61% salary increase." (Bates and Ward, 2006) The report goes on to relate that an inquiry will be requested by the Association of University Teachers who plan to write to Ruth Kelly, Education Secretary, requesting the same. (Bates and Ward, 2006; paraphrased) This report states that it is important for Vice-Chancellors pay to be scrutinized in the same manner as lecturers and other staff at the universities. Bates and Ward state that while "Vice-chancellors do a demanding job as chief executives of complex, multimillion pound organizations..." they are paid for than the Prime Minister, Tony Blair, in many cases. (Bates and Ward, 2006)"

Abstract
The purpose of the study is to assess whether those attending a university in the USA are at risk of acquiring methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in the university setting. The risk is assessed by determining whether there are higher incidences of MRSA carriers in the university setting than in other areas of the community, as this may signify that those carrying MRSA have acquired the bacteria through university attendance. As a secondary objective, the study aims to compile a set of recommendations which would aim to reduce the likelihood of contracting MRSA in the university environment.
Outline:
Introduction
Purpose of the study
Methods
Required Readings
Anticipated Bibliography
From the Paper
"The second phase of the study would comprise of a direct study of students at my university, in order to discover the numbers of students who currently carry MRSA. A sample of students would be selected, with selection being based upon that student not being at particular risk of MRSA, i.e. not having been hospitalized in the last year, or having undergone surgery of any kind within the last year. There may also be other exclusions which would be included from the findings of the literature review. These students would then have samples taken in order to test for the presence of MRSA; such testing would need to take into account participant confidentiality. The literature review would be used in order to elucidate a specific method for sample selection, using articles involving similar successful studies.
"From the findings of the testing for MRSA, it would be possible to establish whether there are indeed higher levels of MRSA in the university population by contrasting the results with any results obtained in the literature review; it may also be possible to contrast with results from other universities. The results can also be used in order to aid in the composition of recommendations to reduce the risk of contracting MRSA while attending university."

The State of the University, 2002.
Analysis of Clark Kerr's and Bill Readings' findings that the university as a cultural institution is in ruins and in need of a major transformation.

Abstract
The debate over the nature and function of the university is perhaps more heated today than it has even been in recent history. Although university campuses in the early twentieth century are not the sites of revolt and social/cultural turmoil that they were in the late 1960s, it may be argued that the university is more threatened today than it has ever been. In this context, the works of Clark Kerr and Bill Readings present complementary perspectives on the nature and future of university today. As will be argued, Readings believes that we are living amid the ruins of the university as an cultural institution, and that this community model must revise itself in terms of the transcultural global community of the future.

"Data has indicated that university students engage in behaviors that may potentially be hazardous to themselves and/or others around them when experiencing an alcohol-induced blackout (Kraus, Signer, Swartzwelder, & White 208). Therefore, universities across the country have begun to implement procedures to combat this new trend and to protect both students and the university community from harm."

Abstract
This paper presents a proposal for improved student transportation at Rutgers University, using it as an example to present the necessity and advantage of low cost student transportation.
From the paper:
"Rutgers University is one of the largest state universities in the country. It boasts an enrollment of over 48, 000 students collectively over the expanse of its three campuses. (Rutgers University Website) There are many benefits of being a student at such an expansive and diverse institution. There are also many detriments as well. It would be an understatement of almost unsurpassed irony to note that many Rutgers students own cars. Rutgers, being a state institution, has many individuals within driving distance to its campus. All of the campuses are for the most part, urban institutions. Thus parking is an enormous problem for both students and faculty."

Abstract
In this business plan a proposal for the establishment of an electronic university in Britain is put forth. The business plan includes an introduction, and an extensive discussion of the specifics of the plan. Following this, the options, benefits, costs, impact and risks are outlined. A financial case for the electronic university is presented, along with a recommendation for the implementation of the electronic university concept.
From the Paper
"This proposal for the development of an electronic university resulted from several, salient considerations. First, the British Government has set a goal of encouraging half of British citizens, over the age of thirty, to participate in higher education by the end of the year 2010. This ambitious and admirable higher education initiative will require the re-education of a significant portion of the existing workforce within Britain.
"This governmental higher education initiative is designed to meet the current explosion of jobs that require highly skilled and educated workers. Accordingly, the jobs that require a lower skill set are decreasing at a similar level. As a result, the British government has developed initiatives to try to increase the number of skilled workers within the British population, in order to support economic growth, especially in high tech industries within Britain."
