State Governance Structure PowerPoint Assignment

Assignment Guidelines:

• STATE: NEW YORK

• This assignment will require students to conduct research utilizing the Internet in locating information from state-sponsored websites for public higher education on the governance structure of higher education. (Note: you do ‘not’ have to address ‘private’ colleges or universities in this assignment as the focus is on ‘public’ higher education within various states.

• Research the structure of Higher Education in your assigned state (NEW YORK) and create a powerpoint presentation detailing how the state structures higher education both among community colleges and 4-year colleges/universities.

  • Be sure to evaluate the state structure in relation to the discussion in chapter 2. Please note whether the state uses a: 1) Governing Board, 2) Coordinating Boards, 3) Planning, Regulatory, and Service Agencies.

• The powerpoint presentation should be a maximum of 5 slides with a reference slide listing the internet.

• Each slide should contain a maximum of 7 lines of text.

• The font size should be 20 or higher to ensure easy readability of the presentation.

In the early years of the 20th century, the group of artists known collectively as The Eight and, later, as the so-called Ashcan School—on account of their style, technique, and subject matter—were considered to be art-world radicals and/or revolutionaries, above all purporting to capture what was inherently “modern” about urban life and urban experience.Who were the artists affiliated with this/these group(s)?  Where did many of them receive their training?  What characterized and what was so revolutionary about their style of painting?  Where did they paint, and what were there favorite subjects?  What was their relationship with the media?  What was (or was not) “modern” about their paintings? Along these lines, what about the modern, urban experience did they capture?  Were these honest, documentary images or, rather, scenes of urban melodrama?  How would you compare their work to that we have looked at thus far?  And, finally, how is the art of The Eight as much about politics and social commentary as it is about painting (that is, style, technique, etc.)?

In this assignment, you review all your work and, using instructor feedback, finalize and submit your PSA for your selected public health problem.

Here are the components you need to include:

• In W1, you selected a public health problem to examine throughout your course project.
• W2, you defined and described the extent of the public health problem and contributing factors.
• W3, you created a MAPP model for the public health problem.
• W4, you explained your plan for designing a culturally competent PSA.
• W5, you submit your PSA.

Scenario:

Your county board of supervisors is considering a proposal to consolidate the county health department into a regional public health entity that would be formed by merging the health department with those of three other contiguous counties of similar size (each has a population in the 50,000–75,000 range).

The primary motivation behind this consolidation proposal is that a regional public health entity would assure better coordination of emergency preparedness and response activities within the region. You agree with this premise, but also fear that some public health activities may actually suffer in such a consolidation. You decide to write a letter to the editor of the newspaper serving your county in order to influence public opinion as the county board considers this matter.

Directions:

For this assignment, you are to complete a:

1. Letter (approximately 2 pages) to the editor of an appropriate publication of your choice that clearly states your position and includes your rationale and relevant evidence. Include adequate research on the risks and benefits of regionalizing public health. Identify the publication for which you will write the letter. Be sure to research constraints the publication has for letters to the editor.
2. PowerPoint (PPT) presentation (approximately 5 slides) to deliver to the board to gather support for your previously created letter. The PPT presentation should explain what you feel are the advantages and disadvantages of the consolidation. Include detailed speaker notes to explain each slide.

Your final product will be in a PowerPoint slide show and be approximately 5 slides in length, and utilize at least 5 scholarly sources in research (beyond the textbook). In addition, a 2–page written letter to the editor of an appropriate publication of your choice should be developed. Your slide show should be formatted following current APA standards; written in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources; and display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

Conduct an analysis on the data provided to identify the hospital closest to achieving the lowest LOS. What are your results of your descriptive statistical analysis? What other data elements would be helpful for a researcher to collect?

Perform some descriptive statistical analysis on the data you selected. Include the following standard tests:

•Mean
