Lost in Translation: Why Sport-based and Grassroots Activism May Be the Path to Equity in NIL Opportunities for International College Athletes
Get PDFInternational students have been tracked in U.S. higher education since 1924 (Witt, 2008). Today, nearly one million international students are studying at U.S. higher education institutions (HEIs), including more than 25,000 international college athletes (ICAs) who compete at National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) member institutions (NCAA, 2023b). On July 1, 2021, the NCAA officially suspended its amateurism principle, and states began passing legislation to allow for student-athletes to monetize their Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL), bringing some closure to a more than a century-long debate over student-athlete compensation (NCAA, 2021b). However, the more than 25,000 NCAA ICAs are often left behind, unable to capitalize on most NIL opportunities due to work restrictions placed on F-1 student visas imposed by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the visas nearly all ICAs are granted (Witt, 2008). Although HEI administrators, athletics departments, and industry professionals have advocated on behalf of international students previously (Jordan & Hartocollis, 2020), there has been little effort to push for changes to visa restrictions that would provide ICAs equitable access to NIL opportunities, and more broadly, expand workforce experiences for international students. Therefore, the authors note the need for self-activism, potentially through a combined grassroots and sport-based model (Cooper et al., 2019), to achieve equal access to workforce, and in turn NIL, opportunities
The political economy of amphibian declines
Get PDFRecent conservation research stresses the importance of examining economic growth as an underlyingdriver of biodiversity loss. With exceptions, herpetological research on the causes of amphibian declines, endangerments,and extinction risks tends to focus on proximate rather than underlying drivers. This paper connects proximatecauses of amphibian declines to structural attributes of modern societies, specifically a growth-dependent economic system.Amphibian declines caused by habitat modification, climate change, contaminants, and commercial use are all inpart driven by “the treadmill of production” — capitalism’s systemic need to constantly expand. Recognizing the negativeimpacts of a growth-dependent economy on amphibians has important implications for conservation strategies
The Practitioners’ Guide to Using the Copyright Act of Canada to Make Accessible Content for People with Print Disabilities
Get PDFThis article documents the process and guidelines developed to respond to a library practitioner’s question as to what constitutes a reasonable search, in the context of section 32 of the Canadian Copyright Act. In answering the question, the authors decided that a Canadian guide would be helpful to all practitioners facing the same question, and they undertook a project to create “Accessible Content: A Guide to the Canadian Copyright Act on Searching for Accessible Formats and Producing and Distributing Alternate Formats” (----, 2025). The authors formed a multi-stakeholder coalition, and developed a set of guidelines aimed at aiding practitioners to understand and apply the exceptions in the Copyright Act that enable the reproduction of works for persons with perceptual disabilities
