No full textIncludes bibliographical references.The purpose of this study was to determine the level of preparedness of Fox Valley Technical College faculty for multicultural education. The demographics of the district population were changing rapidly, and faculty must be prepared to meet the needs of multicultural students. A survey was administered to full- and part-time faculty of Fox Valley Technical College. The survey was intended to collect data about levels of education and experience, perceived training needs, level of comfort with multicultural education and level of interest in further training. The data gathered was analyzed to determine the need for future training, training subjects, and the training formats preferred by faculty. The results of this research provide a basis on which to build future professional growth training at Fox Valley Technical College. The training for faculty will ensure higher success for both faculty and students

An Economic Evaluation of a Pest Management Control Program: "Outfox the Fox"
No full textFoxes are regarded as a serious pest of environmental and grazing systems in Australia. The fox is a recognised predator of native wildlife and has been a significant contributor to the population decline of many native mammal, bird and reptile species. There are also claims that foxes may account for up to 30% of lamb mortalities in some areas, while mortality due to predation of 2 to 5% is more likely in most regions. The ‘Outfox the Fox’ program was established by NSW Agriculture in conjunction with a number of Rural Land Protection Boards to achieve a more strategic and coordinated fox baiting program. This program relies on a community driven and integrated management approach to the problem. The main features are to synchronise baiting across landholders at least twice a year, undertake baiting during periods when the fox is most susceptible, regularly check and replace baits, and continue until the bait take declines. A stochastic economic surplus and benefit-cost analysis model was developed to evaluate this program. The change in annual economic surplus due to the ‘Outfox the Fox’ program was 9.8m and a mean benefit-cost ratio of 13.0:1. The stochastic analysis indicated that there was a very low probability of this program providing a negative economic return.benefit cost analysis, research evaluation, economic surplus, fox, Farm Management, Land Economics/Use, Livestock Production/Industries, Production Economics, Research and Development/Tech Change/Emerging Technologies, Q160,
