Final Paper (Boyer’s Principles) 25 points

This course is based on Boyer’s Principles of Community  http://www.ukthesis.org/Assignment_Writing/  so you must include all six principles in your discussion. From the knowledge gained through attending this class and your experience at Indiana University – Bloomington, do you believe college should embrace each of Boyer’s principles? Why/Why not, and how are they embraced? The final paper is a summary based on in class discussions, readings and your own thoughts. The paper should be 4-5 pages and is due at the start of the last class session. 

Boyer’s Principles of Community

Purposeful
A college is an educationally purposeful community, a place where faculty and students share academic goals and work together to strengthen teaching and learning on the campus.

Open
A college is an open community, a place where free speech is protected and civility powerfully affirmed.

Just
A college is a just community, a place where the sacredness of the person is honored and where diversity is aggressively pursued.

Disciplined
A college is a disciplined community, a place where individuals accept their obligations to the group and where well-defined governance procedures guide behavior for the common good.

Caring
A college is a caring community, a place where the well-being of each member is sensitively supported and where service to others is encouraged.

Celebrative
A college is a celebrative community, one in which the  http://www.ukthesis.org/Assignment_Writing/ heritage of the institution is remembered and where rituals affirming both tradition and change are widely shared.
