Many campuses have been besieged bywhite supremacist activity seeking to incite violence and attract media attention.In this climate, many of today’s students are encountering conversations around difference,power, and privilege amid a flurry of alt-right propaganda, exposed in a new way to overtlyracist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, or ableist ideas through newmedia.

For example, the collaborators’ interaction frequency affects the type ofrelationship that faculty and students develop with collaborators, and tends to be in one of thethree categories: infrequent, intermittent or recurrent [42]. Research with industry partners,including ERCs, tends to have more frequent and deeper relationships [6, 43]. Theserelationships are often attributed to the fact that many of the industrial firms want to hire studentsafter graduation [44]. Typically

Within cooperativeactivities, individuals seek outcomes that are beneficial to them and also benefit all other groupmembers.
