  • The Greek System and the Influence of Cal Poly's Students Towards
    The Greek System and the Influence of Cal Poly’s Students Towards Campus Administration HIST 303 Research and Writing Seminar in History: Cal Poly History Project Presented to Course Instructor: Dr. Andrew D. Morris California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo A Course Taken in Partial Fulfillment of My Bachelor of Arts Degree in History By Austin Park March 2018 Abstract This paper will portray how Cal Poly’s Greek life systems as well as the regular student body have influenced the university’s present policies of alcohol and other misconducts. It will examine the history of some fraternities who have received serious punishments due to their actions which resulted in the expulsion and dissolution of their organizations. However, in efforts to maintain stable relationships with Cal Poly and the residents of San Luis Obispo, it is common for fraternities and sororities to participate in local and national philanthropic services in order to maintain stable relationships through philanthropy. Since the 1970s, fraternities as well as Cal Poly have made attempts to create a society which foster a positive impact for its students. Key Words Fraternity, Hazing, Dissolution, Alcohol Policies, University/Campus Administration Introduction The history of the Greek-based society is synonymous with the progress and establishment of American universities. As a result, fraternities and sororities have become an identity for many young Americans within the United States. Founded in the College of William and Mary in 1750, the “Flat Hat Club” was the precursor to the modern fraternity and aided in the establishment of Phi Beta Kappa in 1776.1 Phi Beta Kappa, an honor society for liberal arts and sciences majors, is known as the first fraternal organization in the U.S.

  • WHAT Will They LEARN a Survey of Core Requirements at Our Nation’S Colleges and Universities
    A Survey of Core Requirements at Our at Our Requirements of Core A Survey and Universities Colleges Nation’s WHAT will they LEARN ? 2017–18 © American Council of Trustees and Alumni 2017. All rights reserved. A Survey of Core Requirements at Our Nation’s Colleges and Universities American Council of Trustees and Alumni FOREWORD It would be hard to imagine a time when ignorance could be more dangerous. Misinformation can travel across the nation in nanoseconds. Our only defense rests on our capacity to educate citizens to make discerning, thoughtful judgments. That ability comes from the practice of reading closely and analytically and parsing arguments, using the tools of logic and reason that for generations the study of the liberal arts has fostered. It is not accidental that the very term “liberal arts” derives from the recognition that they represent the education suited for a free people. A great nation has an informed citizenry that is ready for the complex political choices that confront us. A great nation also needs a citizenry with the intellectual preparation to prevail in the relentless competition of global markets. And higher education needs a reset to meet both of these urgent needs. Too many colleges fail to provide students with the skills they need to succeed in the workforce. With technology rapidly advancing, some careers will disappear, some will expand globally. However, the ability to synthesize information, recognize past precedents, understand human behavior, and communicate effectively will prove invaluable as the job market continues to adapt to the demands of the new century. Companies from Silicon Valley to Wall Street need college graduates who are prepared not only for technical tasks, but also for high-level critical thinking and written communication.

  • The First Labor History of the College of William and Mary
    1 Integration at Work: The First Labor History of The College of William and Mary Williamsburg has always been a quietly conservative town. Throughout the first half of the twentieth century to the time of the Civil Rights Act, change happened slowly. Opportunities for African American residents had changed little after the Civil War. The black community was largely regulated to separate schools, segregated residential districts, and menial labor and unskilled jobs in town. Even as the town experienced economic success following the restoration of Colonial Williamsburg in the early 1930s, African Americans did not receive a proportional share of that prosperity. As the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation bought up land in the center of town, the displaced community dispersed to racially segregated neighborhoods. Black residents were relegated to the physical and figurative margins of the town. More than ever, there was a social disconnect between the city, the African American community, and Williamsburg institutions including Colonial Williamsburg and the College of William and Mary. As one of the town’s largest employers, the College of William and Mary served both to create and reinforce this divide. While many African Americans found employment at the College, supervisory roles were without exception held by white workers, a trend that continued into the 1970s. While reinforcing notions of servility in its hiring practices, the College generally embodied traditional southern racial boundaries in its admissions policy as well. As in Williamsburg, change at the College was a gradual and halting process. This resistance to change was characteristic of southern ideology of the time, but the gentle paternalism of Virginians in particular shaped the College’s actions.
