But it is also true that radical professors have been annoy- ing the establishment since Peter Abelard disturbed the church fathers in medieval Paris and trendy courses have been objects of scorn since Harvard University first allowed its students to substitute French for Hebrew (in 1787). The real crisis in higher education today is not about the curriculum, it is about the poverty of student life. At most large universities in the last 40 years, the faculty have given up all responsibility for the lives of students outside the classroom and the resulting vacuum has been fil l e d with nonacademic residence life departments. For a gener- ation, troubles such as out-of-control dormitories, social iso- lation, alcohol abuse, institutionally promoted segregation, and a complete lack of connection between the classroom and life outside the classroom have plagued universities that nevertheless advertise themselves as “caring” and “ s t u d e n t - c e n t e r e d . ” The solution to the problem of the poverty of campus life is simple and radical: we must return the faculty to their proper place—not just as teachers in the classroom R o b e r t J.

The Relationship Between Residential Learning Communities and Student Engagement Abstract Residential learning communities (RLCs) are residence hall environments designed to deliver academic and social benefits. orF decades, many have argued RLCs are an effective means for increasing student success. Yet substantial changes in the defining characteristics of campus housing and student diversity have led to new questions about the impact of living on campus and the benefits of RLCs in particular. Consequently, we investigated the continued efficacy of CsRL as an effective educational practice. Using data from a diverse, multi-institution sample of first-year and sophomore students, this study provides insight into the relationships between RLC participation, student engagement, and perceived gains in learning. Keywords Residential learning communities; living-learning programs; student engagement; residence life Cover Page Footnote This research was funded by the ACUHO-I Research and Educational Foundation.
