While I knew I wanted to work in the student life office, because I wanted to be…

impressed with the readings for this class. When it comes to incivility, it is interesting to see that even though it has been published in a book and articles have been written, there are still those who do not understand the magnitude of this issue in higher education or in the general public. I agree with Twale and DeLuca, when they state that incivility has behaviors that are indicative of bullying (Twale & DeLuca, 2008).

Since one’s future ability to pay is speculative without much credit history to consult with, the risks are more difficult to measure. Private lenders might demand a higher interest rate to compensate for the uncertainty since they can’t objectively see the social benefit of this program.

His quote emphasizes hard…

Something that validates my solemnness toward this goal is the mantra I myself have…

objectives from educating students to educating the future generation. This is would be only effective with if universities began to target a broader spectrum of targets, other than social elites and the wealthy class.
