Presentation
Student Consumerism - The Era of Entitlement to Bullying Faculty
Center for Scholastic Inquiry Conference
(2020)
Abstract
There is a culture in higher education that has emerged regarding the crisis of academic entitlement. This presentation is to explore the current crisis of “student consumerism” in higher education, which could lead to bullying faculty into issuing students unearned grades. The presenter will indicate the various causes of this phenomenon: millennials and the customer business model, institutional climate, and grade inflation. Participants are invited to examine the issues and then contribute to the conversation. This presentation was information gathered from publications by Dr. David B. Ross, Dr. Melissa T. Sasso, Dr. Gina L. Peyton, Dr. Rande W. Matteson, and Cortney E. Matteson.
