Leadership Struggles/troubles In Establishing A Undergraduate Student Organization?


I recently went to a conference to set up a particular human rights organization at my university. It is exactly what I research and a bit of a niche area of study, despite it’s importance. It currently does not exist at my university. However, a girl last February did the same as I, but when she came back she didn’t do anything. She said she passed deadlines to set anything up and couldn’t find support. However the deadlines have been open for sometime now, and I also would have to find support so I think that is ridiculous. So now I am doing these things actively and she is leaving for an internship overseas for 4 months as I launch it. However she expects to have the titles as founder and president of this organization. I’m feeling at a loss as how to deal with her. She is entirely unhelpful and unresponsive to any of my attempts to talk to her or ask her questions. She even asked for my resume through a facebook page she made for this cause when she returned from the conference last term. I did eventually get her to meet with me, though she was 20mins late for our meeting without apology. She seemed to know very little on this subject, and wouldn’t be someone I would pick to help in any scenario. I am not used to petty power struggles and just want to do some good things before I graduate in a year. Does anyone have any advice in dealing with a situation like this? I really would like credit for all the long hours and efforts I will give this organization, and not have this person take credit for all of this while she lives overseas.

What Is Academic Fraud?


What do you think of this academic paper by a team of academics at Haute Ecole de Gestion de Genève, 7, rte de Drize, 1227 Carouge in Switzerland?:- http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0377221709004251
Do you agree with the main results of the study which claim that the stability of marital relations would be improved by 21% if both partners are the same age, cultural background, educational attainment, and both have no previous experience of divorce?:-
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1222726/The-secret-happy-marriage—man-5-years-older-hasn-t-hitched-before.html
http://www.bodyspacesociety.eu/2009/11/02/love-the-swiss-way-sociologists-want-to-optimize-the-marriage-market/
http://news.cnet.com/8301-17852_3-10463132-71.html
Would it be correct to suggest that the study is flawed because the social, cultural, and political climate in Switzerland is unique and different to other Western countries?
Also, is there any chance whatsoever that the study is biased because Switzerland has a relatively recent history of immigration compared to other Western countries such as the UK and US; which implies that most of the ethnic minorities who are married to Swiss nationals in this sample are actually from non-Western countries, and this usually entails a higher risk of cultural difference between the partners; such cultural difference will tend to increase the risk of divorce or separation.
This is in stark contrast to the situation in Britain and the US, whereby, there are more ethnic minorities who are born, educated, and socialized in the respective country, which reduces the cultural difference factor quite significantly; and this in turn will reduce the risk of divorce or separation in the case of interracial relations between ethnic minorities and White people.
The study is flawed in another sense, because there is the underlying assumption that people of a different cultural/national origin will always have a different culture to the White majority, which is only true as an average, but this should not be generalized to include everyone who is an ethnic minority. The study is flawed because it doesn’t take into consideration the length of time an individual is exposed to the culture of the White majority; there is considerable difference between a recent immigrant from Africa and a black immigrant who has lived in a Western country from an early age. The latter is more acculturated and better adapted to his environment, but the first example is that of an African immigrant who is fresh off the boat.
There is a considerable difference between immigrants who are American to all intents and purposes and the more recent immigrants who are obviously fresh off the boat and foreigners; but this study is a simplified model of different social groups, which assumes that all people belonging to the same social group are exactly the same.
Hence, the study is biased, subjective, and flawed because the authors obviously have a hidden agenda and what is applicable to the social, cultural, and political climate in Switzerland should not be assumed to apply anywhere else in the world.
Also, it’s useful to remember that the 21% increase in the rate of divorce or separation is an estimate based on aggregate but distinct criteria: age, education, cultural background, and previous history of divorce; but on no account are we to assume that differences in cultural origin would account for the entire 21% estimate. On the contrary, differences in cultural origin should account for a mere fraction of that 21% result according to the study.
The study is to some extent an attack on interracial/inter-ethnic marriage where the partners have a different cultural origin; but at the same time, it’s important to remember that differences in cultural origin cannot account for the entire 21% result in the study.
The American Clinical Psychologist Maria P.P. Root has written a book about interracial marriage in the US, and she is known to have said that cultural differences are more likely to be the cause of divorce or separation than any difference in age, education, class, and RACE.

Please Help: The Over-seas University I Want To Study Through Doesn’t Offer Student Loans?


They are located in Australia and do not offer any financial aid for non-Australian residents.
They are not affiliated with FAFSA, or Sallie Mae.
Does anyone know of any private loan options I could try?
