Tuition Revenue

Many colleges and universities still do not understand how an SI program can retain tuition revenue ordinarily lost to attrition. The purpose of this article is to increase awareness of the ability of SI to generate retained tuition revenue far beyond the costs of an SI program. Furthermore, formulas are presented to help prospective and existing SI programs determine the amount of retained revenue SI can generate for individual institutions.

The general theme, "Islam and Muslim Issues around the World ," wasdiscussed in six two-hour sessions. After the welcome address b y MichaelBishku, the conference coordinator, the first session began withdiscussion on "Nationalism in the Balkans." Pet ya Nitzova presented apaper on theMuslims of Bulgaria. Nedzib Sacirbey outlined the historical causes ofthe problems of Bosnian Muslims and said that what is now happeningin Bosnia is a preplanned anti-Muslim policy dating back to 1917. EdwardDamich (George Mason University, Fairfax, VA), who focused on theCroats, disagreed. Both papers generated a heated debate."Islam in the Arab World" was the topic of the second session. DavidCommins (Dickinson College, Carlisle, PA) talked about the Muslim Bmthersand Egyptian popular culture. He gave a historical account of howthis movement was founded by Hasan al Banna and how it incorporatedand adapted elements of Egyptian culture, especially the Sufi culture, intoits program. Ibrahim Abu Rabi' (Hartford Seminary, West Hartford, cr)enlightened the audience with his presentation "Reading the IntellectualHistory of the Modem Arab World: The Islamic Factor." He explainedhow Islamic ideologies influenced the thoughts of some of Arab intellectuals,especially Sayyid Qutub ...

Internationalization At Home

AbstractAs I write this essay in late May 2020, the higher education press is blanketed by debate about the enduring changes brought on by COVID-19. Some maintain that the pandemic has already triggered disruptive changes, such as the quick move to online learning and variations in the academic calendar. They speculate that these shifts will endure after the crisis passes. Others predict a shift in the landscape of higher education. In countries with a private higher education sector that is highly dependent on tuition revenue, a substantial number may close, and the resulting landscape will be dominated by stronger, richer institutions. One estimate is that 20% of private institutions in the United States will close (Wescott 2020).

And Function

The white rat offers a valuable teaching model to demonstrate the in situ anatomy, homeostatic control, and function of the mammalian renal system. Students in the upper-level physiology class at Dickinson College are responsible for formulating a set of testable hypotheses as to the possible compensatory mechanisms that will result from a unilateral nephrectomy in the rat. To test their hypotheses, each group of students is made responsible for induction and maintenance of anesthesia, removal of the left kidney, closure, and recovery of the animal in their experiment. Before and 1 wk after nephrectomy, blood samples are collected via tail section for measurement of hematocrit and plasma creatinine concentrations. Pooling data across all student groups (n = 6) for pre- and postnephrectomy hematocrit and creatinine values allows students to run statistical comparisons testing their hypotheses. This laboratory experience in integrative physiology is a successful exercise in introducing fundamentals of experimental design and, most importantly, provides students with an appreciation for the process of humane use of animals in research and teaching.
