After all, if you are applying to private schools and boarding schools where tuition can be astronomical, why not aim for the best? The status of free speech and academic freedom in the nation\'s colleges and universities has become an explosive issue. Reports of disruptions and dis-invitations of speakers and a host of new speech-inhibiting policies instituted by campus bureaucracies are now commonplace. Critics claim that these actions and measures have smothered the open and honest discourse inside and outside of the classroom that is so necessary for a meaningful and vibrant education to take place. Others consider the fears of crisis overblown, discerning the harms as less extensive in the vast domain of higher education than critics acknowledge. Drawing on his extensive research, teaching, and practical experience as a free speech and academic freedom leader at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and nation-wide, Donald A. Downs portrays the university as an intellectual polis in which free and honest academic discourse should pervade the campus. His unique approach addresses the experiential, empirical, strategic, and philosophical dimensions at stake. Free Speech and Liberal Education: A Plea for Intellectual Diversity and Tolerance dissects the nature, extent, and causes of the speech suppression that exists, emphasizing the need for intellectual diversity and how repression often co-exists with counter-forces that need to be energized and mobilized in what Downs portrays as the embattled status of academic free speech the character of the harms the new policies and actions pose to liberal education broader structural and societal threats to academic freedom how to mobilize to protect campus freedom using resources inside and outside of the campus and, most importantly, why robust free speech and academic freedom are so important to both liberal education and the prospects of liberal democracy. Think and Grow Rich has been called the Granddaddy of All Motivational Literature. It was the first book to boldly ask, What makes a winner? The man who asked and listened for the answer, Napoleon Hill, is now counted in the top ranks of the world\'s winners himself. The most famous of all teachers of success spent a fortune and the better part of a lifetime of effort to produce the Law of Success philosophy that forms the basis of his books and that is so powerfully summarized in this one.In the original Think and Grow Rich, published in 1937, Hill draws on stories of Andrew Carnegie, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and other millionaires of his generation to illustrate his principles. In the updated version, Arthur R. Pell, Ph.D., a nationally known author, lecturer, and consultant in human resources management and an expert in applying Hill\'s thought, deftly interweaves anecdotes of how contemporary millionaires and billionaires, such as Bill Gates, Mary Kay Ash, Dave Thomas, and Sir John Templeton, achieved their wealth. Outmoded or arcane terminology and examples are faithfully refreshed to preclude any stumbling blocks to a new generation of readers. Foundations, Research, and Assessment of Fraternities and Sororities is inspired by continuing conversations about the enduring challenges facing fraternities and sororities on campuses across the country. The co-editors curate contributions from scholars and noteworthy practitioners from across higher education to examine a variety of issues relating to the past and future construct of these institutions. The text begins with a historical section that provides a perspective on the origins of fraternities and sororities. Other sections look at such critical areas as values, legal issues, and research. Values are described regarding the values congruence movement and acknowledging emerging areas of the individual fraternity and sorority experience. Legal issues include freedom of speech, hazing law, and risk management. Additional profiles of large, national benchmark surveys are included, and the book concludes with a final overview of the state of fraternity/sorority scholarship. This volume will appeal to a broad readership made up of faculty, administrations and alumni/ae.Perfect for courses such as: Fraternity and Sorority Leadership - Undergraduate Student Issues - Professional Development Circles - Discussion Groups - Graduate Seminars - Individual Reading Reflection - Introduction to Student Affairs - Contemporary Issues in Higher Education A practical guide containing 50 different quality improvement and quality assurance approaches to help improve practice. - Helps staff to improve the quality of the products and services offered - Includes practical ideas for internal and external quality assurance activities (IQA/EQA) - Helps staff to prepare for external inspections and EQA visits - Readable, relevant and easy to understand - Provides valuable ideas and tips for new and experienced quality staff - Uses simple language to explain each approach - Can help promote outstanding teaching and learning How can teachers provide effective literacy instruction for students with learning differences�while meeting the needs of all students in the class?
