The Chronicle of Higher Education: Colloquy

COLLOQUY

Responses


Rudeness in the classroom -- or anywhere else -- is inexcusable and absolutely should not be tolerated!

"Three warnings and you're out of the classroom," should be clearly stated on the syllabus. The professor should have the support of administration in enforcing rules that govern appropriate classroom behavior. Administration needs to emphasize that students are representatives of the university -- and their behavior reflects on that university.

Do students really believe they can behave rudely on the job and remain employed?
