RESEARCH for Little Knights
Class,
Go to The Chronicle of Higher Education and search under "daycare for graduate students" and you may find more than very good 10 sources talking about the need and benefits of having such resource for students and faculty on campus.
Good luck.

La Powerpoint de TINY KNIGHTS (Little Knights)
Little Knights
A Proposal for a daycare center at the University of Central Florida by the Women’s Studies class of Dr. Santana
Initiative
We are the nation’s 3rd largest university forging ahead with new academic and social initiatives. This is a very exciting time for the UCF community. Currently, our university does not provide support for students, faculty, or staff with children under the age of two.
Students with children are faced with re-examining and adjusting their expectations of which colleges and universities they will attend based on the ability to offer accommodations and services for parents in need of daycare.
Mission
Support the dialogue on the needs of parents with children on our campus.
Provide affordable, nurturing, and adequate child care for children under two years.
Grant social, behavioral, and cognitive growth through this facility amongst the future community of UCF.
Benefits
Students:
Faculty:
“Universities are using child care centers as their major initiative to address gender-equity issues”-Marc Goulden, research analyst in graduate division University of California at Berkeley
Children:
Univeristy:
I. Background. Florida Universities with Child Care b. Creative School i. Why it rocks ii. Where it falls short
The University of Florida Baby Gator Child Development Centers offer high quality care to children ages 6 weeks to five years. Baby Gator addresses the needs of all children and fosters growth and early literacy skills.
The UCF Creative School for Children
The University of Central Florida is already familiar with childcare, as evidenced by our exceptional Creative School for Children, established in 1976.
For the past thirty years, the Creative School for Children has provided a safe, secure and happy place for children while students and staff are attending class, studying or working.
The UCF Creative School for Children
The school employs "early childhood professionals with 12-25 years experience." Provides a setting for other research departments at UCF.
The Creative School at UCF is one of the 9% of childcare centers accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children.
The UCF Creative School for Children only accepts children ages 2-5, and is open from 7:30am-5:30pm.
IV. Funding a. community partners (state the case for potential community partners/list of current ones) b. Grants c. Fee i. tuition fee for students ii. sliding scale fee breakdown
FEES
UCF fee increase of .25/100 for students, faculty .50-.75/100
Sliding scale fee of UCF graduate and undergraduate students, UCF staff and Faculty, and members of the community (full fee) $$/week. (Source: 2010 La Petite)

Gender-based wage disparities
In seeking to rectify gender-based wage disparities, faculty rely mainly on two federal laws: the Equal Pay Act (EPA) and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. Executive Order 11246, which President Lyndon Johnson issued in 1965, also prohibits discrimination by federal contractors, which includes many colleges and universities. In addition, many states and some localities have antidiscrimination laws and "baby" EPAs.
The EPA bars gender discrimination in wages, requiring equal pay for equal or "substantially similar" work in public and private institutions. To establish a claim, a professor must prove that a university or college pays a higher salary to a colleague of the opposite sex for performing work that is, as the U.S. Supreme Court has explained, equal in "skill, effort, and responsibility, and which [is] performed under similar working conditions." At the same time, the law allows for salary differences between women and men based on a number of "affirmative defenses," including merit, seniority, and factors "other than sex."
Title VII protects individuals from discrimination by an employer, including most colleges and universities, on the basis of sex, race, color, national origin, or religion. The law specifically prohibits discrimination "against any individual with respect to his compensation . . . because of such individual’s . . . sex." The U.S. Supreme Court has explained that Title VII bars "not only overt discrimination, but also practices that are fair in form, but discriminatory in operation." The Bennett Amendment to Title VII incorporates the EPA’s affirmative defenses into Title VII’s prohibition against wage discrimination based on gender.
Recent litigation brought under these laws has highlighted the challenges involved in achieving salary equity in higher education. To whom, for example, is an allegedly underpaid female professor to compare herself? What is the proper role of market forces in setting salaries? Can merit-pay and promotion systems be "infected" with gender discrimination? Are public colleges and universities "immune" from claims by individual professors under federal antidiscrimination laws? When might "reverse discrimination" claims by male professors lead to salary-equity adjustments?

Anybody out there?
Abigail,
Are you my only real student?
The class is a go but I don't think for only one person. Ashley Lee signed in but I thought she was away in a trip, right?
Anyhow, I'll see you tomorrow.

Welcome to your class
Hi class,
We are a go! We are small but not insignificant! I hope you like what I have prepared for the next six weeks. I am very happy to be your facilitator. The textbook is in the bookstore waiting for you.
See you on Monday.
I am including a photo from Rio de Janeiro since I am a visual artist and visuals speak to me in many levels. Enjoy.
