We still ask whether participation in service-learning can enhance students' understanding of difference, power, privilege, and systemic oppression. We puzzle over what is the relationship of service-learning to social justice and what should it be. We ask ourselves how we can prevent service-learning from perpetuating the status quo and whether social justice is, in fact, the ultimate goal of service-learning. With regard to partnerships, we still question whether campus-community partnerships really can be relationships among equals. Or are the disparities of power, resources, and sphere of influence too great to a...

Educating board members about student affairs issues is essential to ensuring a well-informed, effective board. This study examined the relationship between student affairs and the board's student affairs committee (SAC). An 89-item survey was developed and administered to 1,100 NASPA voting delegates with a 33% return rate. The survey focused on Goodale's (1997) four broad areas of responsibilities for the SAC as well as membership, agendas, and their orientation. The results showed significant differences between public and private institutions in the number with a SAC, issues discussed, having a clear mission or charge and having a student voting member. As a result of the study, five recommendations were made to enhance the effectiveness of the SAC.

National studies have shown that commuter students are fess satisfied with the collegiate experience and fess likely to persist to graduation. Substantial institutional change is required to address this situation effectively. This article discusses how institutions of higher education can assess themselves from the perspective of the student-as-commuter and provides recommendations for the enhancement of environments, programs, and services.

This sourcebook explains how to use what we know about commuter students' lifestyles and concerns to create communities of learners that meet the distinct needs of students who live off-campus. The authors show how curricular learning communities can help students overcome their sense of isolation from faculty and peers. They offer practical techniques to involve commuter students in teamwork and research. And they provide a range of other innovative ways to create communities of learners-from building a sense of community within individual courses to the creative use physical space, information technology, living-learning communities, and experiential education programs.

On the one hand, Stoecker seeks a form of service learning that “liberates” all those who are involved in it, whether they are inside or outside of higher education. In the second sense, Stoecker aims to liberate institutionalized service learning’s lack of significant accomplishments both in educating students and in enhancing communities. Stoecker proposes liberating service learning by making its current theory explicit, deconstructing it, and then building a new theory that leads to a new practice that yields different and better results.
