On the other hand, it can be argued by the data above, that making a global community faculty was not necessarily the goal for the participants interviewed, and this is adding up to the intrinsic value Cooper and Mitsunaga found. Global Faculty Community is sensed as another important tool to achieve a deeper and greater goal, namely, the building up of knowledge and sharing for the sake of education. Either directly or indirectly, each professor participant of this small study made such endeavor clear. For Nancy Hanrahan was her interest on delivering feminist theory on a country that is young on the topic, thus her trip was more exiting. For Kurtz is his eager to comprehend and propose a solution to international conflicts through peace,…

TCMI has a small core of full-time faculty members and a dedicated group of long-time adjunct faculty members. Faculty members, including both full-time and adjuncts at Haus Edelweiss and adjunct faculty in the distant settings, reported close communication and collaboration among faculty members.

The style of promoting members out of the faculty that is currently in place is the typical older promotion style of giving preference to incumbents of the institution who have been there the longest. This reliance on their proximity and involvement with the institution has become the downfall of many institutions, including our own university. One of my professors in my Organizational Development class was even outlining how the current administration outlines its accomplishments and growth in…

Georgia Regents University Augusta is open to reviewing multiple models with the intent to develop a new incentive plan that will better reflect the current industry standards.

home; although, I did not know it at first. As an impressionable 17-year-old, I did not have a clue as to what I was looking for in a university. I felt a variety of emotions when touring Western during my last year of high school, including, but not limited to, excitement, insecurity, anxiety, and confusion.

But, conversely, how could we be blameworthy for a faulty faculty of judgement given to us by God? Surely God could have made us insusceptible to error, and it seems that a world without error would be preferable and more perfect. This paper will first explicate Descartes ' explanation of how errors occur and then proceed to consider his argument that humans are to be held accountable, despite God having to ability to prevent error. It will be contended that the success of this argument depends…

The zero-tolerance policy was created to make the school environment safer for the students, the faculty and the community. The policy address violent actions, possession of weapons and drugs with suspension and expulsion. The standard protocol for zero-tolerance eliminates the individual’s moral decision making as every case is conducted in the same manner, no matter the circumstance.
