The daily experiences of women confirm that racism and sexism is alive and well. This article presents and examines the experiences of Latino, Black, Arab, and Asian professional women and the consequences of their career decisions. Synthesized with literature, conceptual patterns of significance are noted for young girls and women of color aspiring and pursuing professional careers in education. The strategies utilized by these diverse professional women to cope with the trials and tribulations of contemporary educational and professional challenges are reviewed. It is necessary to continue to educate the public about the struggles and successes of women of diverse backgrounds to assist both high school and college age women as they prepare to contribute to the global economy of the 21 century. This work seeks to take advantage of the opportunity to understand a social p...

Macfie and Philip M. Nufrio, Applied Statistics for Public Policy. Armonk, New York: M. E. Sharpe, 2006. 536 pages. ISBN 0-7656-1239-9 (cloth). In public affairs and administration, our teaching goal is to enable students to gain essential skills and practical experience necessary to effectively use quantitative approaches when solving social problems. While it may be true that professors differ in their pedagogical approach when exposing students to research methods and analysis, our ability to engage students in quantitative reasoning is the universal desired learning outcome for the field. Our hope is that students and (future) practitioners will use what they've learned in the classroom about the process of doing research, apply those techniques and quantitative approaches to solving real-life social problems, and be able to critically assess any statistical information used in decisio...

Based on a national survey of institutions of higher education, the author addresses the following questions: What factors impede the ability of the affirmative action officer to achieve program results? What is the effect of staff size, budget, and race on perceived implementation barriers? This study finds that increased impediments to affirmative action program efficacy are greatly affected by program resources and race.

Using secondary data, collected postmediation from participants in the (former) North Carolina Department of Correction’s (DOC) mediation process, the findings show that perceptions of organizational justice and mediation satisfaction are high for both grievants and, especially, respondents. Logistic regression results find statistically significant relationships between mediation satisfaction and three factors of organizational justice—distributive justice, procedural justice–process, and disputant–disputant interpersonal justice—as well as unexpected results for procedural justice–mediator and disputant–mediator interpersonal justice.

Because the WWW has the ability to reach millions of users worldwide, it is no surprise that researchers are interested in using the web to conduct surveys. This paper describes one such experience, a case study that shares our experiences using the 2Way application to administer a web-based survey, and discusses the implications of using the Internet for theory, research, and practice.

In an effort to better understand a fast-growing but rarely studied subgroup of the public workforce, this study compares Mexican American managers' perceptions of affirmative action and workplace discrimination to those of their White and Black, non-Hispanic peers. Data for this study come from two large Southwestern United States cities, Phoenix, Arizona and San Antonio, Texas. Results from bivariate and multivariate analyses show that managers, as a collective group, do not believe affirmative action policies and workplace discrimination have affected advancement. However, when the data are disaggregated and reexamined by race or ethnicity, significant differences of opinion emerge. We find evidence that Mexican American managers perceive affirmative action policies and workplace discrimination differently than their peers.
