Abstract: In order to survive, an organisation must focus its efforts on generating revenue in the face of competition.
Sometimes the need to focus on beating the competition can get derailed by internal organizational conflict. In order to
keep your employees focused on being productive and bettering the competition, it is necessary to understand the causes
of organizational conflict. Conflict, if not closely checked may be the cause of the downfall of an organisation. It is
therefore very important that those in leadership or management positions should make sure that conflict is handled
carefully so that employees concentrate on their jobs rather than on fights.

Abstract: Examined in this study were the number of days assigned to in-school suspension and to out-of-school
suspension to Grade 6, 7, and 8 students based on their economic status in Texas for the 2015-2016 school year.
Inferential statistical procedures revealed the presence of clear inequities in the average number of days Grade 6, 7, and 8
students who were economically disadvantaged were assigned to an in-school suspension and to an out-of-school
suspension. Grade 6, 7, and 8 students who were poor were assigned statistically significantly more days to in-school
suspension and to out-of-school suspension than their grade level peers who were not poor. Implications of the findings
are discussed and suggestions for further research are made.

Abstract: Examined in this study was the extent to which differences were present in the total 1-year persistence rates of
Black students at Texas community colleges. In particular, the extent to which differences existed in the total 1-year
persistence rates of Black students between the 1999-2000 and 2006-2007 academic years, between the 2006-2007 and
2013-2014 academic years, and between the 1999-2000 and 2013-2014 academic years was addressed. Inferential
statistical procedures revealed the presence of statistically significant differences in the total 1-year persistence rates of
Black students. Over a 14-year time period, unfortunately, the total 1-year persistence rates were stagnant for Black
students at Texas community colleges despite efforts to increase retention rates. Implications of the findings are
discussed and recommendations for further research were formulated.
