Such an atmosphere according to many is more conducive to higher learning (Jost, 2001). An ethically diverse atmosphere encourages learning and self development according to others (Gurin, Dey, Hurtado & Gurin, 2002)
They claim it is necessary to balance out the student population and create an ethnically diverse atmosphere. Such an atmosphere according to many is more conducive to higher learning (Jost, 2001)

Another argument in favor of affirmative action made by admissions officials is that regardless of ones race, it is still essential that a candidate possess adequate grades and test scores, which are a critical factor weighed during the review process (Worsnop, 1996). Minorities are so underrepresented in many of the nation's top colleges that some have claimed that the university environment may be considered segregated in nature rather than integrated (Phillips, 1994)
Affirmative Action - Should Race be a Factor in Deciding College Admissions? Should race be a deciding factor for college admissions? The debate is one that is hotly contested among students and administrators alike. Many feel that in a tight job market acquiring a college educational is an essential prerequisite for career advancement (Worsnop, 1996) thus competition for admission to many of the nation's best universities is increasing
The market turmoil will only calm down if the 16 member states of the euro zone reform their economies and reduce their deficits, ECB chief economist Juergen Stark told the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung newspaper on Sunday." (Baetz, 1) This is a policy approach which closely and problematically mirrors the deeply questionable bailout tactics only recently employed to great consternation in the United States
It was not supposed to be this way when Greece, eager to join first the European Union, then the euro zone, pledged financial overhaul." (Bilefsky, 1) However, all indications are that Greece was moved to overzealousness by the declaimed promises of shared continental prosperity claimed by membership in the European Monetary Union
As Greece was not seen as an eventual member then, the story imagined the crisis would start in Italy, and almost exactly as it has played out in Greece, with poor budget management leading to economic punishment from Europe, leading to rioting in the streets." (Brouwer, 1) This exact outcome has come to pass in Greece, and stands in clear declaration to those desiring entrance into the European Union that additional entrance into the monetary union should not be sought without consideration of the relative importance that fiscal determination has played on supporting a nation's economy
In a discussion on the legislation impacting the European auto industry in recent years, for instance, it is important to recognize that there are certain core causes for the continued disparity in auto pricing owing almost entirely to the distinctions amongst member states in terms of domestic production economies. (Kirman & Schueller, 69) in contexts where high costs of production, operation and retail have persisted, so too has the price differential impacting the consumer
resident roughly 63% more than it will cost a resident of more recent union member, Greece. (Madslien, 1) Domestic market difference and differing consumer buying power potentials will be only further highlighted as the European Union admits increasingly less developed states such as those former Soviet and North-of-Africa nations seeking admission
it's designed to show that 16 nations sharing the euro currency will stand united behind the debts of member nations to stave off a potential crisis of confidence that could damage them all." (Trumbull, 1) This complexity is underscored by the inherently questionable imperatives of the European Monetary Union
35 -- a 10% loss." (Vogt, 1) Vogt provides the chart shown below to confirm this trend, one which mirrors the precipitous decline in the value of the American dollar in the last decade
From this economic viewpoint, hospitals have started implementing various strategies and partnerships in order to help them achieve the aim of reduced readmissions. One of these is the use of electronic health records (EHRs) to help care givers track patients, their conditions, and their individual and collective strategies for retaining their health (Lewis, 2012)
However, Rochetti does see how this system could benefit the population of Brazil with some benefits. In order to help bridge the gap between the rich educated Brazilians and the poor, uneducated people there, Rochetti believes that admission quotas should be used based not solely on an individual's race, but rather their class (Rochetti 2004)
Students who may need extra help and have been brought into the university through admissions quotas are met with a much more helpful environment. Studies have proved that there are much higher minority graduation rates in small campuses with admissions quotas, and much higher percentages of minorities going on to pursue post-Bachelor degrees, (Sowell 1999)
Literature Review Inappropriate hospital admissions during the 1990's The management of hospitals and other health care providing centers is primarily concerned with the provision of efficient, effective and appropriate care and medical attendance given to patients. In spite of this concern, during the 1990's, very little attention was paid to the acuteness of the care a patient needs at the time of admissions and under review, hospitals were revealed to have admitted quite a large percentage of non-acute patients (Coast, Peters and Inglis, 1996)
Similarly, in the United States, the reported inappropriate hospital use ranged from as low as 10% to as high as 70% whereas in Italy, there had been approximately 30% unnecessary hospital admissions and stays. The different in admission rates and their appropriateness can be attributed to the difference in medical practices of the countries (Marco, Mangani, Correra, et al
If there were no such rules, it would be difficult if not impossible to control the ways that police secured evidence on the street. In fact, prior to the modern era of American criminal justice, police routinely arrested suspects without probable cause, deprived them of counsel, food, water, and bathroom facilities, and even beat them to obtain confessions that were later used to convict those defendants at trial (Schmalleger, 2010)
Even where evidence is seized constitutionally, judges still have an important role in determining whether introducing that evidence is likely to lead to a just outcome. In that regard, the standard used by judges is whether the "probative value" of the evidence is greater than its "prejudicial effect" (Zalman, 2008)
In a recent study by Abel, Pring, Rich, Malik, & Verne (2013), the authors conducted a "retrospective cohort study on deaths of all patients known to a hospice in a 2.5-year period to see if use of ACP affected actual place of death, hospital use and cost of hospital care in the last year" (Abel, Pring, Rich, Malik, & Verne, 2013, p
