Higher Education staff and Brexit. Is the UK losing the youngest and brightest from other EU countries?
Tertiary Education and Management, 2018Co-Authors: Giulio MariniAbstract:Since the Brexit referendum in 2016, and the formal act of triggering article 50 by Theresa May’s cabinet in 2017, the UK has entered a period of negotiations, the outcome of which, and also the terms of the post-exiting phase, are still uncertain. In this period of uncertainty, the mobility of people is one of the main issues at stake. The topic is important for the higher Education sector where the percentage of (other) European Union staff in UK universities has grown at an impressive rate in recent years before the Brexit referendum. This paper draws from official Higher Education Statistic Agency (HESA) data to investigate if there is any inversion of this trend in the British system, arguing that some ‘Brexodus’ of academic staff - meaning a decrease in the percentage of other EU nationals - has already started for some academics, namely the youngest and the brightest.

Abstract P005: Association Between County Elementary and Secondary Educational Policy With Cardiovascular Health
Circulation, 2015Co-Authors: Adam Christian, Courtney Pilkerton, Sarah Singh, Thomas K. Bias, Stephanie J. FrisbeeAbstract:BACKGROUND: Recent research recognizing the socioeconomic influence of Educational attainment on population health, including cardiovascular health (CVH), suggests that modifying Educational policy to improve Educational outcomes could be an effective approach to improving health outcomes. Although the positive association of Educational level with health status is well documented, the effect of Education policy on health outcomes is not as thoroughly studied. Identifying relationships amongst Educational policy and CVH could provide a target for public policy initiatives designed to positively impact population health. OBJECTIVE: The objective was to examine the potential effect of varying county Educational policy on county and individual CVH outcomes. METHODS: Variables of county Educational policy were expenditures per pupil, percent of total revenue from each state and local sources, and pupil teacher ratios. School district data from 1997-2005 sourced from the National Center for Education Statistic...

Increasing the Racial and Ethnic Diversity of the U.S. Teaching Force
International Handbook of Teachers and Teaching, 1997Co-Authors: Ana Maria VillegasAbstract:Diversity is a fact of life in the United States, as evident in the student population served by the nation’s public schools. Already, students of racial and ethnic minority backgrounds account for a full one-third of elementary and secondary enrollments (National Center for Education Statistic [NCES], 1993), and it is projected that by the year 2000 nearly 40% of all school-aged youths will be of color (Hodgkinson, 1986).1 The composition of the teaching force, however, does not mirror the demographic profile of the student body. At present, racial and ethnic minorities account for approximately 13% of the teaching force (NCES, 1993). Unless active measures are taken to attract more people of color into teaching, their representation could drop to a meager 5% by the end of the century (Darling-Hammond, 1990; Smith, 1992). This striking discontinuity between the cultural backgrounds of teachers and their students has come to be seen by some as a matter with serious social and Educational implications for the nation and its schools (Carnegie Forum on Education and the Economy, 1986; Hidalgo & Huling-Austin, 1993; Mercer & Mercer, 1986; Smith, 1989).
