    No full text
    This paper will explore how the parish community of St. Olaf in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, established in 1952, reflects the Roman Catholic Church, specifically at the local, state, and national levels in the United States. It will also discuss the various changes that have occurred in the past 60 years of its history in terms of the various locations of worship for the members, the growth of the community outreach programs, and the effects of the Second Vatican Council. This ecumenical council was a meeting of Catholic bishops from around the whole that brought reform to the Catholic Church and affected the relationship of the Catholic Church to the world. The parish at St. Olaf has grown from having only 125 families in 1952 to over 1,000 families in 2012

    From Mansions to Towers: A History of Residence Halls at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire

    No full text
    The construction of the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire's residence halls has generally followed that of the national trend. The school struggled to find enough funds to build residence halls in the early years. Eventually, student housing was in needed so badly that the school had no choice but to provide housing for the students. In 1947, the Dulany mansion was purchased and remodeled by the school. This building served as the University's first resident hall. Since then, eleven resident halls have been built on campus with one more being planned. Life in these residence halls have changed dramatically over time. In the 1960's, the students protested and eventually the strict rules of in loco parentis faded away. After this, students enjoyed the freedoms of new technologies, relaxed rules, and more professional housing leaders. Today, UW-Eau Claire is a thriving university. UW-Eau Claire has been recognized by many as a top school in the Midwest. Much of the success can be attributed to the residence halls and the happiness of the students. My paper will provide UW-Eau Claire and its students with a cohesive history of the residence halls on campus and will also show how student life has evolved since the University was first established

    Do Māori Rights Racially Discriminate Against Non Māori?

    No full text
    Claire Charters argues that the claim that Māori rights discriminate against non-Māori needs to be tested to a greater extent than it has been in both political and academic circles to date, not least because of its importance to the type of nation New Zealand is and seeks to be. She illustrates that from a contextual, comparative and theoretical standpoint Māori rights do not discriminate against non-Māori and to suggest that they do so will only increase Māori's detachment from the New Zealand polity

    Free, Prior and Informed Consent and Indigenous Peoples

    No full text
    Free, prior, and informed consent (FPIC) constitutes an essential prerequisite for guaranteeing effective enjoyment by Indigenous peoples and their members of their internationally recognized human rights. It is a multifaceted, complex, concept that is, simultaneously a procedural condition for the realization of Indigenous peoples’ rights, a legal principle—as it informs the conduct of state authorities vis-à-vis Indigenous peoples—and an autonomous substantive right of collective character. In fact, even though FPIC is embedded in the right to self-determination, and is strictly interconnected with other Indigenous peoples’ rights, its status of ‘right’ is beyond any doubt. While it cannot be held that FPIC entitles Indigenous peoples to exercise a right to veto with respect to every kind of measures or activities potentially affecting their interests, it may be convincingly asserted that such a right to veto actually exists when it comes to activities that are likely to seriously impact their fundamental rights, cultural integrity and/or physical existence
