From the Paper
"The term "underemployment" is widely used to represent the situation where people are employed in low or entry-level jobs for which they are considered overqualified, either because they possess a college degree or because they possess advanced training and experience in their field. Although a person may be considered underemployed even when he does not have a college degree (e.g., he has many years of experience in a particular field), the term is most often used to describe the plight of college graduates who have not been able to obtain work congruent with their level of college education and/or their chosen field of study.
The typical example of underemployment is the college graduate who is working as a taxi driver.... "

Disparities in College Graduation Rates among Races, 2006.
A review of the college graduation statistics amongst the primary racial groups in the USA.

Abstract
This document discusses the college graduation rates among the three primary racial groups in the United States: White, Hispanic and African-American. The White college graduation rate is approximately 30% while the African-American is 18% and the Hispanic is currently an approximate 10%. This research compares a 1999/2000 study with more recent figures and the result is that there has been no real improvement in this college graduation divide between these racial groups.
From the Paper
"Because of the continuing trend for college graduates to earn increasingly more in the workplace than peers in the same age group without a college degree, identifying racial factors involved which may compound this trend is important. While the high school graduation rates among the three largest demographics in the United States: White, African-American, and Hispanic, have equalized somewhat over the last 20 years, the percentage of college graduates among these three racial groups have not (Morrison, 2000, p.32). This increasing gap between the number of White college graduates and the other two demographics is indicative of more pervasive racial inequalities beyond the educational. "

"The Effect on Graduation Rates of FreshmanAlcohol Consumption: A Research Proposal
Research Problem
Graduation rates for incoming freshmen students are quite low across institutions. This attrition has been attributed to a variety of factors ranging from poor preparation by the student to insufficient application on the part of the student to an inability of the student to adjust to a new social environment to overt discrimination by institutions to a long list of additional factors. It is also known that the consumption of alcohol among college students remains relatively high (Meilman, 1990, pp. 389395). It is further known that alcohol abuse may be manifested in decreased cognitive performance, loss of control, serious social problems and..."

?You don?t know? What do you mean you don?t know?? Gore has already won the popular vote! Three weeks later, and the US doesn?t know who the 43rd president will be! Each candidate is still scrambling to get the 270 Electoral votes needed to win. But, if Gore has the most votes, why is there still a race? What are these Electoral votes? When our Founding Fathers were setting the policies for the elections, there was a debate. Some said the election of the President should come directly from the people; others said the people could not handle the responsibility, and Congress should do it. They compromised, and came up with the Electoral College. A couple hundred years later, the Electoral College is still in use, and there is support and opposition for it."

From the Paper
"College life presents many challenges for incoming students. Academically, many students find college to be much more difficult than high school. Students are concerned with not only their academic success at college, but their social and emotional adjustment as well. I felt really concerned if I would fit in with the crowd or not. Then another pressure was that I was able to make college on a scholarship and had to maintain my grades if I hoped to be given another scholarship for further studies. This paper projects the hypothesis that Experiences and challenges of college are likely to change students. College life has an impact on every student in some way. One of the major assumptions of faculty and parents towards students is that they are thought of as irresponsible and immature. The life becomes so hectic at times that every student faces stress at one time or another. Time management is one of the things that a student needs to learn in order to survive in college. "

College Athletes? Grades, 2005.
This paper discusses the failure of colleges to insist upon and help maintain the grades of their athletes.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that one reason colleges have been unable to handle effectively the problem of athletes with abysmal grades is that star players bring wealthy alums back to campus, along with their checkbooks. The author points out that the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) approved a reform package, particularly for the big money-making sports of football and basketball, which require more stringent eligibility rules for recruiting; once in college, the athletes must graduate within five years, completing 20 percent of the coursework each year, while maintaining at least a 1.8 grade-point average as a freshman, and a 2.0 each year thereafter to be eligible to play. The paper relates that there is a correlation between lower grades (even lower than usual) among college athletes during their sport's season and that academically marginal student athletes respond less successfully to the increased demands of college.

From the Paper
"At least since 1998, high schools in wealth Northern Virginia have tightened academic standards for student athletes and for other students who participate in other extracurricular activities as well. Fairfax County coaches and teachers had begun monitoring student grades. In addition, in Fairfax County, the students cannot comply with the demand for a C average or better by taking only one or two easy classes; "students are required to take five classes and pass five classes in a previous school semester to be eligible to participate in athletics." If a student does drop two letter grades in a subject or his grade-point average drops below 2.0, he is counseled by coaches and offered help."

Abstract
In this article, the writer first looks at the amateur status of college athletes and discusses how they are forbidden from profiting from their performances. The writer also discusses the early departure of college athletes for professional leagues. Further, the writer examines the hypocrisy of a system that prohibits student athletes, many of whom devote more than a full-time workweek to their sport outside of classes, from being compensated for their efforts outside of free school-related items like tuition and books. The writer points out that the college system has become inundated with corruption regarding payments and perks offered to players, more and more athletes are electing to skip college or at least a year of it altogether in favor of going professional, and demands on athletes are becoming more and more time-consuming and stringent. The writer maintains that permitting athletes to be paid for performance could alleviate all of these issues as well as help preserve what traditionalists refer to as the "purity" of the college game.
From the Paper
"The first of these issues is the "amateur status" of college athletes; they are forbidden from profiting for their performances. Despite this, many universities sign foreign players who may have been paid for performance in their native countries. This issue could be completely averted if the NCAA were to switch to a pay-for-play system that basis players' eligibility on their talent and ability rather than their salary history. Resources spent verifying amateur status and payment sources could be spent where they rightly belong--benefiting the student athletes who make up these programs."

The Electoral College, 2006.

Abstract
This paper examines the history of the electoral college which was devised not only to reflect American federalism but also to give disproportionate power to small states and reduce the power of popular democracy. The writer of this paper details the Bush - Gore election in which George W. Bush became the first presidential candidate to lose the popular vote but win the electoral college vote since Benjamin Harrison defeated incumbent president, Grover Cleveland, in the same manner in 1888. Predictably, there was a strong reaction to the election result from critics of the electoral college, with Senator Hillary Clinton, among others, seeking its abolition. Yet, at the same time, there are many who continue to defend the electoral college. This paper examines whether the electoral college is still a viable way to elect presidents in the 21st century, the circumstances under which the system was established, how the system works now and what sort of changes have occurred since its inception. The writer of this paper discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the electoral college as well as alternatives needs which need to be examined to improve upon this election system.

From the Paper
"The central issue for most opponents of the electoral college is their belief that it is undemocratic. League of Women Voters president Carolyn Jefferson-Jenkins commented after the last presidential election: "The electoral college, a curious vestige of the 18th century, violates the principle of one-person, one-vote. The time has come to abolish it." This view argues that the electoral college is a relic of an 18th century electoral system, representing a viewpoint that the public cannot be wholly trusted and that an elite group of individuals who "really know best," can. It is argued that this system has well and truly become an anachronism. Democracy, with full participation by the governed, may not be a perfect system and may be at times messy, however, there is no better way to legitimize the process and validate its results."

Abstract
The paper discusses how many high school graduates cannot afford to go to college, but most high school students are eligible to obtain Federal Student Loans and are able to attend college to obtain a degree that will increase their ability to obtain better employment. The paper examines how many parents who live in poverty are not able to send their children to college. The paper describes how student loans are a form of financial aid that allows poor or monetarily troubled students to gain the same education as those who can afford college have.
From the Paper
""Persons with lower levels of educational attainment were more likely to be unemployed than those who had higher levels of educational attainment" (Digest of Education 2006). However, many high school students are eligible to obtain Federal Student Loans and are able to attend college to obtain a degree that will increase theirs ability to obtain better employment. "Of the 2.8 million youth who graduated from high school between October 2003 and October 2004, 1.8 million (66.7 percent) were attending college in October 2004" (College Enrollment and Work Activity 2006)."

From the Paper
"Greetings! If you are still wondering about where to go to in college, let me tell you a little bit about our college up in the City University of New York. Brooklyn College, one of the eleven senior colleges of CUNY, is the first public co-educational liberal arts college in the entire city of New York. It was established by the Board of Higher Education of New York in May 15, 1930. And by May next year, we will be celebrating the College's 76th year. But it was only in 1961 that we became one of the member units of CUNY."

Abstract
The paper explores to what extent parents impact their children's college academic performance. This paper asserts that parental support, both before and during college, is a strong determinant for a student's college success. The paper provides a literature review and concludes that parents have a strong influence on a student's performance in college. This is due to various reasons, the most important being the alignment of educational goals between parent and child. When the parents and their child agree regarding the importance of college, this alignment often trumps any obstacles raised by a parent's socioeconomic status or lack of college degree.

From the Paper
"A study conducted by Dayton (2005) showed that in addition to initiative and individual effort, students found that having supportive networks -- friends and families -- was vital in ensuring academic success. This study ties in with previous ones that saw a strong correlation between financial support and college success. Schneider and Stevenson (1999) found that parents could be effective agents of socialization, imparting to their children the standards and values they will need to be successful in college and beyond."

Abstract
The paper discusses how the Merced Community College District (MCCD) seeks to attract and maintain a student body in order to create a college community that is socially and culturally diverse. The college has allocated funds to assign a student ambassador at the local high schools within its jurisdiction, on a weekly basis, to facilitate this process. The paper explains that the purpose of this study is to relate college applications completed by high school students to weekly college outreach efforts. More specifically, the researcher hopes to uncover a link between college outreach efforts and matriculation among high school students. The researcher assumes a positive relationship between matriculation and college outreach efforts will be discovered.

Introduction
Review of the Literature
Methodology
From the Paper
"College outreach is designed to recruit students to matriculate at a post-secondary institution. The Merced Community College District (MCCD) seeks to attract and maintain a student body in order to create a college community that is socially and culturally diverse (MCCD, 2006). There are many reasons for this. As an example, ethnic diversity fosters the examined life, prepares students for citizenship in a global society and enriches opportunities for underrepresented students (Niemann & Maruyama, 2005, Rodriguez, Jones, Pang, & Park, 2004). College outreach is accomplished through strategic outreach methods designed to encourage students who are graduating from high school to become matriculated."
