Eva’s revised proposal

Posted on

One problem that often takes place not only on the Trinity Campus but in many other places is that when it comes to issues regarding hate acts about race many of these times these get pushed under the rug. I am interested in researching college judiciary procedures in order to understand why after hate incidents have occurred on campuses the college/university doesn’t always get to see the follow ups that come with these incidents.

The first step to solving and stopping  hate crimes is to make sure that everything that can be done to figure out who was part of this hate acts is done. It is also really important to make sure that the community knows that these acts will be intolerable and that the biggest punishment will be applied to those individuals that take part in these activities. Part of this solution is also to figure out that those people coming into Trinity are not gonna be part of this group of people that are responsible for these hate acts. I think that idea of final report of asking a question regarding community/diversity to Trinity’s applications is a good idea.

One thought on “Eva’s revised proposal”

  1. Eva, your revised proposal continues to explore the important issue of college judiciary procedures regarding acts of hatred toward groups of people. But you need to push the writing further for this assignment, and I recommend that you consider the following items when drafting your paper:
    1) What exactly is the “problem” you are identifying? The current version states that “I am interested in researching college judiciary procedures in order to understand why after hate incidents have occurred on campuses the college/university doesn’t always get to see the follow ups that come with these incidents.” Are judiciary procedures the core problem, or the lack of community standards, or the lack of punishment for those who violate those standards? Or is it something else?
    2) Rethink and refocus on your proposed solution. At the beginning it mentions increasing public knowledge about who has committed hate crimes, while at the end of the paragraph it describes application questions. Decide on which solution seems most viable, and persuade us why.
    3) If you decide to focus on judiciary procedures, think creatively about what you can show readers with a sample report. Or if you decide to focus on application forms, then show us samples to help us think outside the box.

    Note that the text above included several typos and sentence fragments that you need to identify and correct before posting next time.
