Inner-City School Sending Entire Senior Class to College -- Again [VIDEO]
By not in system - AOL NewsThe fat acceptance envelopes keep arriving for students at Chicago's Urban Prep charter school. For the second year in a row, the entire graduating class has been accepted at a four-year college. The senior class of 104 young men has been admitted to 103 colleges or universities so far, and the high school is hoping for at least one invitation to an Ivy League school. Urban Prep Academy is the nation's first all-male public charter high school. It is composed entirely of African-American students. The students at the school's Englewood campus were presented with striped ties Wednesday to ...
Opinion: Educators Can Help Prevent Future Giffords Tragedies
By Matthew Biberman - AOL NewsThe note said "I hope you die like that fat pig Ebert." The detective handed it back to me. We were sitting in my office at the University of Louisville. Someone, most likely a student in my Introduction to Humanities class, had left it for me to find. The detective said, "It's not really a threat." "No," I conceded, "it's not a straight out threat." "Right," he said, "It's not, 'I am going to kill you.' It is just like, 'I hope you die.'" "I understand," I said and shrugged, knowing now that the police would likely do nothing. "Still," the detective added, "let's go ahead and do some ...
Sexually Explicit Chants Land Yale Frat in Hot Water
By David Knowles - AOL News(Oct. 19) -- It's enough to give "Animal House" a bad name. Members of Yale University's Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity find themselves facing possible disciplinary action after a group of pledges took part in an initiation activity in which they marched through campus chanting obscenities against women. On the night of Oct. 13, the pledges shouted phrases such as "no means yes, yes means anal" as they marched through the heart of campus in a single-file line. Video of the incident was posted on YouTube. Likening the fraternity's chants to "hate speech," The Yale Women's Center ...
FBI Charges Ex-Dean With Bribery and Forced Labor
By Steven Hoffer - AOL News(Oct. 1) -- Should shoveling snow be part of the curriculum for a degree in Asian studies? (Obviously, no.) But that reportedly didn't stop Cecilia Chang, the former St. John's University Institute of Asian Studies dean accused of embezzling more than $1 million in school funds, from demanding the service, among other menial tasks, from her scholarship students. Chang, who controlled 15 scholarships each worth at least $5,000, required her students to perform menial tasks to maintain their funding, according to the FBI. The FBI report listed chauffeuring her son to the airport at 3 a.m., ...
Endangered: That Off-to-College Feeling
By Donna Trussell - Politics DailyThere's a chill in the air, and I'm reminded of an experience I never really had. Like nearly every woman my age, I saw the 1970 film "Love Story," set in a place that, compared to my blue-collar suburb in Dallas, looked magical. Houses had two stories, a street ends at an ocean, leaves turned crimson, and snow covered everything. Plus, you could fall in love with a handsome man with a Roman numeral name. Oliver Barrett IV was Old Money. In my neighborhood, there was no Old Money. Or New Money either, for that matter. The 1969 movie "The Sterile Cuckoo," filmed at Hamilton College in New ...
US News' Top 10 Universities of 2011, Remixed By Cost
By Steven Hoffer - AOL News(Aug. 17) -- Although administrators won't literally charge an arm and a leg (thankfully), tuition at one of the nation's top universities is going to cost you. Among the top 10 schools listed in the highly anticipated U.S. News and World Report annual university rankings, released today, not a single institution costs less than $36,000 a year. No real surprise there, as the publication acknowledges in its supplemental and separate "Best Value Colleges" post. But how do the premier schools rank when rearranged by annual cost? When Surge Desk hit shuffle, it found that among the top 10 ...
Opinion: A Criminal Oversight in College Background Checks
By Mark Grabowski - AOL News(July 13) -- Posting a scandalous photo on Facebook could get you rejected from the college of your choice. But there's a good chance a rape conviction won't. Only 4 percent of colleges conduct criminal background checks on students, and 36 percent of schools don't even require self-disclosure of crimes, according to a new survey by the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers. In contrast, 26 percent of admissions offices use search engines to research applicants, and 21 percent use social networking sites, a 2007 study found. Admissions officers claim they ...
