North American Perspective

Academic integrity is an issue of critical importance to academic institutions and has been gaining increasing interest among scholars in the last few decades. This article discusses data obtained over the last three years from over 80,000 students and 12,000 faculty in the United States and Canada. While documenting that cheating on tests and exams and plagiarism are significant issues on our college and university campuses, it also offers some thoughts on possible strategies to encourage greater levels of academic integrity among students.

College And University Campuses

Abstract On any given day, on college and university campuses across the United States, four generations bump up against each other. Some are shocked and outraged by the attitudes and demands of the newest generation; others are dazed, stunned, and even offended by the conventions and expectations of an earlier generation. Three generations of college professors are facing perceived irrelevance by the newest generation to hit the scene. This article addresses generational differences between today’s students and those who teach them. Research and recommended practice to build on the strengths and learning needs for students and future professionals in communication sciences and disorders are discussed.

College And University Campuses

In recent years, movements such as #metoo, Slutwalk, and others have drawn attention to women’s experiences of a lack of safety in public, professional, and educational spaces. This article steps back to an earlier era of such activism, tracking the context in which blue-light emergency phones were installed on college and university campuses in the United States. I argue that blue-light phones constitute an infrastructure of feeling, drawing on Raymond Williams’ classic formulation of the ‘structure of feeling’. They served not only to address emergent understandings of campus safety (particularly sexual assault), but to produce affective experiences of ‘safety’ among students, parents, and administrators. The infrastructure of blue-light emergency phones then concretized that structure of feeling in such a way as to render it more dominant, more persistent, and more tightly intertwined with local campus cultures, not only at the time, but through to the present day.

College And University Campuses

Free speech on college and university campuses in the United States is a complex topic with competing and conflicting rights, governing body responsibilities, goals, legal precedents, popular views, and purposes. To untangle all of this requires both attention to fine legal points and a broad view of societal needs. Chemerinsky and Gillman have the expertise and experience to bring both these characteristics to bear on discussions of this topic, but they do much more: they outline specific policies that can and should be followed by universities and colleges in seeking to provide the best of higher education. Chemerinsky (The Conservative Assault on the Constitution, The Case Against the Supreme Court, Closing the Courthouse Door: How Your Constitutional Rights Became Unenforceable) and Gillman (American Constitutionalism: Structures of Government, The Votes that Counted: How the Court Decided the 2000 Presidential Election) have distinguished positions at the University of California, Irvine, School of Law and taught an undergraduate seminar on Free Speech on College Campuses in 2016. Their combined voices bring a clarity and, surprisingly, brevity to this topic that are rare.

This chapter explores the challenges, issues, and recommendations that student affairs practitioners should consider in order to implement constructive civic learning and democratic engagement on college and university campuses in the United States. The work of student affairs directly impacts the development of students. Yet, student affairs professionals and programs face challenges in collaborating with academic affairs, understanding and practicing political neutrality, and responding to the current issues of the day. With consideration of quality and successful programs, student affairs can continue to move the needle of impact forward through new learning opportunities throughout the college experience, including restorative justice efforts, housing and residence life programs, and collaborative university themes.

High Level

Over the last dozen years, I have written textbooks on a variety of levels, starting with books for university students, proceeding to work with Naomi Pasachoff on books on the junior-high level, and, most recently, working with her and with others on an elementary-school series. I can testify that, in the United States, at least, the world of college and university texts is as different from the world of “el-hi” (elementary-high) texts as night is from day.
