Dual enrollment equity pathways: A research‐based framework for expanding college and career opportunity for underserved students

AbstractThis article introduces “dual enrollment equity pathways” (DEEP)—a research‐based framework for rethinking à la carte dual enrollment as a more equitable on‐ramp to college programs of study that lead to high‐opportunity careers for students historically underserved in dual enrollment. Using interview data collected from six sites (six community colleges and 12 of their high school partners) that have expanded access and early college success of underrepresented student groups through à la carte dual enrollment, the manuscript describes key themes and emerging evidence of DEEP related to each of the four practice areas of the DEEP framework: (1) outreach to underserved students and schools; (2) aligning dual enrollment to college degrees and careers in fields of interest; (3) early career and academic exploration, advising, and planning; and (4) high‐quality college instruction and academic support. The chapter concludes with considerations for how the DEEP framework influences dual enrollment practice.

The Legality of Diplomas as Debt Guarantee in Civil Law (Case Study of RY Pawning His Friend's Two Diplomas)

A diploma is a graduation document of a student or student who has completed his or her study program. In this case, a diploma is a service because its value does not lie in its physical form, but in the meaning and function it has, namely proof that a person has successfully completed a certain educational program. However, in several guarantee institutions spread across Indonesia, there are still many who allow diplomas as an object of guarantee. In fact, the guarantee law is a closed law to protect the parties involved and is also a general guideline so that it cannot be arbitrarily modified. The closure of the guarantee law for the parties involved raises the question of whether the diploma as a guarantee means modifying the guarantee law that has been set by the state. Therefore, the author wants to examine the legality of a diploma as collateral for debt in civil law in order to find out whether the diploma already has a basis in civil law as a guarantee and how to process how to settle in case of default by the debtor who gives the diploma to be detained.

Minority Narratives: The Voices of Women Architects from the School of Madrid in Early Democratic Spain (1975-1982)

Since the mid-19th century and until the 1964 study programme, students at the Madrid School of Architecture had to undergo various entrance exams for university. Women architects in Francoist Spain represented a mere 5% of the profession, a gender gap only overcome many years after the democratic restoration. Yet most of them did not consider feminism as a matter major concern, since the lack of freedom in Spain held greater importance for women that gender issues, which were relegated to a secondary position in public discussions. Starting in 1985, with the development of the Autonomous Regions in Spain and its accession to the European Economic Community, the country underwent a propound transformation. Former generations of women architects would then play a relevant professional role. This paper aims to expose, through the chronological sequence of their graduation—initially in a testimonial and isolated manner and later forming small networks—how their professional careers developed. This chronological approach, as well as a study of their links from a series of conversations with several women architects that studied and/or set their practice during the years of the democratic transition allows us to conclude that they were not only pioneers but also role models and mentors to each other. Their status as a determined minority is reflected in the relationships they established, with friendships and student complicity that accompanied them throughout their lives, as confirmed by their professional collaborations, comments, and vivid memories of their belonging to a group or community.
