Over the past decade, however, the opposition has been suppressed, leaving them unable to wage the strikes and protests typical of the country’s politics. Alongside their decline has been a resurgence of street movement beyond conventional political boundaries. These movements are unpredictable, coalesce around issues of injustice, and emerge in particular from urban students. This article examines the movements for reform to civil service quotas, and for improved road safety, seen primarily in Dhaka in 2018. Such movements pose two principal threats to the ruling party: first, they have the potential to undermine their legitimacy and create a moment of crisis on which the opposition could capitalise; second, they can exacerbate tensions between interest groups on whom the ruling party rely to maintain power. The state response of concessions and repression reflects these threats and the delicate balance of maintaining legitimacy while using coercion. With a rich history of political movements and a lack of alternative channels for political expression, responding to grievances that can motivate such movements will be an important challenge for the ruling party to maintain their grip on power.","PeriodicalId":188909,"journal":{"name":"EduRN: Other Educational Organization (Topic)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130916237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Attempting to answer that question as it pertains to higher education policy and drawing inspiration from Social Identity Theory, this research utilized thousands of social media comments to analyze the likelihood of standing against the tuition-free policy, America’s College Promise, as determined by source, gender, and race and subsequent variable interactions. To investigate these likelihoods a binomial logistic regression model was calculated. Using marginal estimates, results suggest that separately race and gender are influential factors and of the four sources examined comments from the Fox News source was clearly different than the other three. For most interactions, race is the most dominant influence followed by gender – until interacting with the Fox News source. Next, Bag of Words models were generated to capture tokens (words and phrases) associated to source, gender, and race - and for variable interactions. Uncovered tokens illustrate several obvious differences between political identities and provides nuance to findings and discussion presented. This research concludes by discussing the importance of findings as it relates to intersections of crafting higher education policy and understanding identity differences.","PeriodicalId":188909,"journal":{"name":"EduRN: Other Educational Organization (Topic)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116912082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there is little discussion of the highest cost associated with earning a college degree: foregone earnings. The purpose of this mixed methods study is to explore first-time-in-college (FTIC), first-year, traditional-age students’ perceptions of foregone earnings during the college search process. This study also addresses a gap in the literature related to students’ consideration of the topic during their search. 13 students were invited to participate in an interview. 10 students accepted resulting in a 77% response rate (N=10). Drawing on human capital theory, the stimulus response model of higher education consumer behavior, and the Perna (2006) conceptual search and choice model, interview data was electronically coded and analyzed in ATLAS.ti© to uncover qualitative themes and quantitative insights. Research concluded that students perceive foregone earnings in terms of time, completion, and loss of money and opportunity. Additionally, this study concluded that students’ search and choice behaviors were largely irrational when considered alongside human capital theory; a finding consistent with the work of consumer behaviorists. Finally, a new model termed the ‘combined analysis model’ is proposed to guide future investigation into the phenomena.","PeriodicalId":188909,"journal":{"name":"EduRN: Other Educational Organization (Topic)","volume":"1 9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127979977","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
