Eve Teasing

Adolescence is a period of quarter-life transition and college becomes the courtyard for this development. Adolescents, especially college students come to limelight for involving in various antisocial activities, campus violence, ragging incidents, eve-teasing, suicides, and multifarious relationships much more than productive academic pursuits. This has become a great concern for higher education institutions in India. Various government and nongovernment bodies have raised alarm over these untoward adolescent and campus related issues and, highly recommend counselling services in the campuses. However, no comprehensive counselling or guidance program has been drafted by the governing bodies to assist the students or manage adolescences for betterment. Although India has the ancient gurukula tradition which paved the way for a holistic and integral development through education, counselling and wellbeing services have not taken deep roots today in the educational system. This empirical study proposes a comprehensive counselling service for the institutes of higher education by studying the major problems of college students in Tamil Nadu.

Purpose The purpose of this article was to extend the concepts of systems of oppression in higher education to the clinical setting where communication and swallowing services are delivered to geriatric persons, and to begin a conversation as to how clinicians can disrupt oppression in their workplace. Conclusions As clinical service providers to geriatric persons, it is imperative to understand systems of oppression to affect meaningful change. As trained speech-language pathologists and audiologists, we hold power and privilege in the medical institutions in which we work and are therefore obligated to do the hard work. Suggestions offered in this article are only the start of this important work.

University Settings

In this paper, I will illustrate the changing nature and complexity of faculty employment in college and university settings. I will use existing higher education research to describe changes in faculty demographics, the escalating demands placed on faculty in the work setting, and challenges that confront professors seeking tenure or administrative advancement. Boyer’s (1990) framework for bringing traditionally marginalized and neglected functions of teaching, service, and community engagement into scholarship is examined as a model for balancing not only teaching, research, and service, but also work with everyday life.
