Angela, hi! I'm a past president of both the national SOPHE and the local one and please know that NYC is very supportive of CHES and GNYSOPHE offers programs for at least 15 CECHs annually.

I would like to possibly persue the route Vocational Rehabilitation did. In every single county in this nation requires at least one Rehabilitation Counselor. If they have not had experience they are required to get training at a certified program at a University. This was accomplished by perserverence and governmental policy change.

One more For the Ethics Class Case Study

American universities may be jeopardizing their academic integrity by giving oil, gas, and other polluting industries unprecedented influence over the research those companies fund on campus, according to a report released today by the nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest. This study identified five major limitations on academic freedom that are occurring in the nine programs. They include:

1 Allowing company representatives on governing boards (6 universities)

2 Giving industry sponsors first rights to intellectual property (5 universities)

3 Allowing industry sponsors a role in deciding what research projects are funded (6 universities)

4 Permitting industry review of research before it is published (5 universities)

5 Allowing companies to delay publication of research results (5 universities)

Senator Clinton and Senator Obama -- One gets more money than anyone from drug companies. The other one takes more money than anyone from Washington lobbyists. What's happened to the Democratic Party? Whatever happened to the party of the people? I am asking each of my friends and colleagues who has a vote in a primary election or caucus to consider joining me in supporting John Edwards by clicking on my personal fundraising page below and reading a little more of my thoughts about why I support his presidential candidacy:

One More New Resource for those interested in poverty, inequality, and social policy

In the first issue of Pathways, a magazine of the Stanford Center for the Study of Poverty and Inequality launched this month, presidential candidates Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John Edwards pen in-depth essays addressing the question: "How, if at all, might a new war on poverty be fought?"

PS In case you want to cut straight to the commentary, " The highest grade for ambition and visibility on poverty issues has to go to John Edwards. He has repeatedly stated the goal of ending poverty in thirty years and reducing it by one-third over the next decade. He draws on evidence from the Center on Poverty, Work and Opportunity that he founded at the University of North Carolina"
