In 2013, the Supreme Court made a ruling in the Davis v. the University of Texas at Austin case that the college must show compelling evidence that racial preferences are justified as one of the admissions criteria.
<h3>In Davis v. UT Austin, what decision did the Supreme Court make?</h3>
In Davis v. the University of Texas at Austin (Fisher), the U.S. Supreme Court (the "Court") decided on June 23, 2016, by a vote of 4-3 that the university's race-conscious admissions policy complied with the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
In its 2013 decision in Davis v. Texas, which remanded the case to the Fifth Circuit, the Supreme Court set high requirements for affirmative action policies, saying that colleges could only take race into account when making admissions decisions if they could provide a "reasoned, principled explanation" for wanting a diverse student body.

The Boston Port Act, the first of the laws passed in 1774 in response to the Boston Tea Party, closed the port of Boston until the colonists paid for the destroyed tea and until the king was satisfied that order had been restored. Colonists objected that the Port Act punished all of Boston rather than just the individuals who had destroyed the tea and that they were being punished without having been given an opportunity to testify in their own defense.
The Massachusetts Government Act provoked, even more, outrage than the Port Act because it unilaterally took away Massachusetts' charter and brought it under control of the British government. Under the terms of the Government Act, almost all positions in the colonial government were to be appointed by the governor, Parliament, or king. The act also severely limited the activities of town meetings in Massachusetts to one meeting a year, unless the Governor called for one. Colonists outside Massachusetts feared that their governments could now also be changed by the legislative fiat of Parliament.
The Administration of Justice Act allowed the Royal governor to order that trials of accused royal officials take place in Great Britain or elsewhere within the Empire if he decided that the defendant could not get a fair trial in Massachusetts. Although the act stipulated for witnesses to be reimbursed after having traveled at their own expense across the Atlantic, it was not stipulated that this would include reimbursement for lost earnings during the period for which they would be unable to work, leaving few with the ability to testify. George Washington called this the "Murder Act" because he believed that it allowed British officials to harass Americans and then escape justice. Many colonists believed the act was unnecessary because British soldiers had been given a fair trial following the Boston Massacre in 1770.
Answer:
Using convenience samples to develop constructs and scales can be risky.
Explanation:
Convenience sampling refers to the process of gathering information from a sample that is conveniently available to the researcher (family members, friends in social media). This is not a random sampling method because not all of the members have the same probability to be selected.
- Using convenience samples to develop constructs and scales can be risky.
From the definition, we can say that using convenience samples to develop constructs and scales can be risky since <u>the information gathered by using this sampling does not necessarily represent the characteristics of the population (since it was not chosen at random).</u>
- It is a time-consuming process when there are a large number of respondents.
This is not a time-consuming process but is actually easier to gather information this way rather than by other methods.
- It is commonly used in the later stages of research.
This process is a gathering of information process and it takes place at early stages of the research
- The representativeness of the sample can be measured because sampling error estimates are not calculated
As we said before, this is not a random sample and therefore it is not necessarily a representative sample.
- It is commonly used to generalize results to the target population.
Although probably our sample shares some characteristics with our target population, this sampling is not used to generalize results to the target population.
