You are the Assistant Director of Campus Activities at New England State University, a comprehensive state institution in rural New England with 9,000 students.  Your campus serves many first generation college students and members of the military, as you are located in the same small city as an Army base. Part of your professional duties requires you to co-advise 50 student organizations; your co-advisors of these organizations are made up of various members of the faculty and staff on campus.  Your job as co-advisor is to help the organizations plan large activities, stay within their budgets, and train new organization leaders on campus policies and procedures. On Monday morning, you receive an email from the Director of the GLBT Center on campus, asking you why you have allowed the Campus Republicans to host a famous speaker who is known for his public anti-gay rhetoric.  In the email, the Director tells you she found out about the speaker when a “very upset student” brought a flyer to her office.  She requests a meeting with you and your Director that day.  The event is scheduled for the Thursday of this week and this is the first you have heard about it.  As you begin to investigate the event, you learn that it has been advertised on campus and in the local community paper; it is being co-sponsored by a local conservative organization not affiliated with the college. What do you do?  With whom will you meet/collaborate?  Can you/should you cancel the event?  What are your other options?  Which student development theories will help in your decision making process as you work with the student groups involved? Must Use APA with including work cited page. Must reference and cite, “Student Services A Handbook for The Profession, John H. Schuh Sixth Edition. Must Reference and cite, Student Development in College Theory, Research And Practice Third Edition, Lori D. Patton.

Assignment Breakdown 1-2 pages background information 2-3 pages synthesis 2-3 pages response Works Cited page (s)   Breakdown Descriptions 1-2 pages background information This section should introduce your readers to the overview and background of your topic “Is Improving Schools All about Money?”. This SHOULD include a reference to the “Room for Debate” forum and date of debate. As concise as possible, you should present the overview of the varying perspectives that you found on this topic, and then finally, you should introduce your conclusion/thesis on this topic.   2-3 pages synthesis This section should be organized by the different positions made by the debaters and the materials  you found doing your research. This means you should organize the 10 sources based on the different points that were made. For example, you might have a group that thinks improving schools is about the money, others who think it is about the teachers, and maybe others who think it is about local intrusiveness—organize your materials based on relationships such as these. You should then get into the varying people who contributed to each particular position, and then offer specific examples from their texts. You should cite these moments directly from the debaters/research. Missing specific examples from the texts will result in a lower grade on the paper.     2-3 pages response In your response you should answer the question “Is Improving Schools All about Money?” In this section you should support your own position on this topic using the debaters and your research.
