Shunning Complaint: A Call for Solutions from the Honors Community
Badenhausen, Richard
Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council, v20 n1 p3-7 Spr-Sum 2019
While members of the academy are particularly adept at complaining and poking holes in most proposals that cross their paths, we are less comfortable with offering solutions. This essay asks members of the honors community to consider some of the major challenges facing honors education today and propose solutions that might be adapted on a variety of campuses. Rather than asking respondents to take up rather straightforward issues that commonly face honors program and colleges, this piece urges readers to dig into more intractable problems like access, mental health, innovation, and the position of honors on campus.
