  • University of Cincinnati 2016 Campus Climate Survey Results Summary
    University of Cincinnati 1 University of Cincinnati 2016 Campus Climate Survey Results Summary The State of Ohio’s Changing Campus Culture Initiative seeks to strengthen its ability to better respond to, and ultimately prevent, sexual assault on the state’s college campuses. In the spring 2016, all Ohio campuses were encouraged to participate in recommendation #1 in the Changing Campus Culture report: use data to guide action. In addition to completing a comprehensive campus climate survey, Ohio campuses were also asked to disseminate 15 common benchmark questions. The purpose of the benchmark questions was to provide the Ohio Department of Higher Education with a common set of data to measure statewide progress in addressing prevention and response to sexual violence, and to track trends over time. While campuses were free to determine which climate survey best fit their campus community, the benchmark questions were the same to allow for comparison between one campus and others of similar type. Methodology and Sample Data collection began in the 2016 spring semester and ended by June 2016. Institutions collected data in various ways, including through paper surveys and electronically. All responses were anonymous. Each participating school was asked to gather data on the benchmark questions along with provided demographic questions. Response scales for the benchmark questions and demographic questions varied slightly for some institutions, and any questions with substantively different response scales were excluded from the aggregate analyses. 14 public university main campuses, 23 community/state/technical colleges, and 35 private institutions participated in the survey. The overall sample included 23,240 students across the sampled 71 higher education institutions.

  • William Mcguffey and the Mcguffey Eclectic Readers by Karla Perry
    May 18, 2012 The Restoration of America: William McGuffey and the McGuffey Eclectic Readers By Karla Perry American children of the mid-nineteenth century were essentially educated by the works of one man, William Holmes McGuffey. The McGuffey Eclectic Readers sold 120 million copies between 1836 and 1920. These sales are comparable only to the Bible and Webster’s Dictionary.1 William Holmes McGuffey [1800-1873] began his educational profession at the age of fourteen after receiving a teaching certificate from his educator, Reverend William Wick. As instructed, he put an advertisement in the local paper that he would begin a four-month session of classes, six days a week, and eleven hours a day on the first day of September 1814. Forty-eight students assembled from the West Union, Ohio community, now Calcutta, Ohio. McGuffey drew his lessons primarily from the Bible.2 A traveling Presbyterian Pastor took notice of McGuffey’s teaching skills and offered to take him to reside in his home while he attended Old Stone Academy. McGuffey did so for the next four years. He then continued his education at Washington College for the next six years, where he worked the farm to pay for his education, taught, and studied. When he couldn’t afford to buy his books, he copied them longhand. Before completing his degree, he was offered to become a professor at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. He accepted this position which he held for ten years before moving to Charlottesville, Virginia, where he would be a professor at the University of Virginia for twenty-eight years.

  • Our Christian Educational Heritage: Mcguffey and His Readers by Robert A
    Our Christian Educational Heritage: McGuffey and His Readers By Robert A. Peterson From no other source has the author drawn more copiously in his selections than from the Sacred Scriptures. For this, he certainly apprehends no censure. In a Christian country, that man is to be pitied who, at this day, can honestly object to imbuing the minds of youth with the language and the spirit of the Word of God. -William Holmes McGuffey In the year 1928 Henry ford personally issued a reprint of the books through which he had been taught to read. Reflecting on their significance in his own education, he wrote: Most youngsters of my day were brought up on the McGuffey Readers. Most of those youngsters who still survive have a profound respect for the compiler of the Readers. The moral principles Dr. William Holmes McGuffey stressed, the solid character building qualities he emphasized, are stressed and emphasized . today even though the McGuffey’s Readers themselves are not “required reading.” Nearly sixty years have passed since Ford wrote these words, yet interest in McGuffey’s Readers show no signs abating. Between 1836 and 1920, over 120 million copies of McGuffey’s Readers were sold. Since 1961, they have continued to sell at a rate of some 30,000 copies each year, and a new edition of the original McGuffey’s Readers recently published by Mott Media promises to generate even more interest in the Readers. With the exception of the Bible, McGuffey’s Readers probably did the most to shape American values and morals in the nineteenth century.
