Is the expense of college worth it? The lifetime
financial payoff of a college degree was
estimated at .9 million in 2000, or 1.24
million in 2012 dollars (Day and Newburger,
2002). Levin et. al (2007) estimate a
lifetime increase in earnings of between 950,000
and 1,387,000 for men high school dropouts and
college graduates. Levin, H. M., Belfield,
C., Muennig, P., Rouse, C. (2007). The costs
and benefits of an excellent education for all of

  said getting married was one of their most
  important goals, and 63 percent said they
  believed they would meet their future spouse in
  college.

  statistic considering there are an average of
  only 79 men per 100 women on college campuses.

the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA), and the Age
Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), it is
illegal to discriminate in any aspect of
employment, including hiring and firing
compensation, assignment, or classification of
employees transfer, promotion, layoff, or
recall job advertisements recruitment testing
use of company facilities training and
apprenticeship programs fringe benefits pay,
retirement plans, and disability leave or other
terms and conditions of employment.
30
Discriminatory practices under these laws also
include harassment on the basis of race, color,
religion, sex, national origin, disability, or
age retaliation against an individual for
filing a charge of discrimination, participating
in an investigation, or opposing discriminatory
practices employment decisions based on
stereotypes or assumptions about the abilities,
traits, or performance of individuals of a
certain sex, race, age, religion, or ethnic
group, or individuals with disabilities and
denying employment opportunities to a person
because of marriage to, or association with, an
individual of a particular race, religion,
national origin, or an individual with a
disability. Title VII also prohibits
discrimination because of participation in
schools or places of worship associated with a
particular racial, ethnic, or religious group.
Employers are required to post notices to all
employees advising them of their rights under the
laws EEOC enforces and their right to be free
from retaliation. Such notices must be
accessible, as needed, to persons with visual or
other disabilities that affect reading.
