For instance, a student asks a professorin class about his opinion of the dean’s plan to reorganize the college or department and the impactthis might have on the student’s career or graduation plans. Or perhaps, a professor serves on auniversity budget committee. Can this professor publish articles and engage in public debate usingthe information gained through his involvement as a member of the committee?The federal courts are currently split over the application of the First Amendment to speech byprofessors employed at public universities.

Indeed, two smaller groups would probably be a better experience for Americanstudents abroad. In this regard, Lafayette College is continuing to explore possibilities foralternate study abroad sites. As mentioned earlier in this paper, this is not a problem that is easilysolved. In addition, the desire on the part of Lafayette would be to offer choices that wouldenroll a roughly equal numbers of students. An effort is underway to diversify the

Though the role and perception of design across a wide range ofeducational institutions have improved markedly in recent years; however, both design facultyand design practitioners argue that further improvements are necessary.

In such a “color-blind” perspective, individual characteristics should play no role inscientific work. However, significant amounts of research demonstrate that no person is “color-blind”31. Additionally, faculty may not be influenced by the theoretical developments explainingthe importance of students’ identities28. Due to the lack of exploration of social aspects ofengineering, conversations centered around normative and non-normative values are almost non-existent.
