This book considers the generalized topic of “respect” on college and university campuses from the perspectives of a variety of participants. It highlights perspectives held by different individuals culminating in a conversation about the evolution of respect issues on campus and how those issues are reflected by our broader society. There are a variety of contributors: students, faculty members, student support personnel, as well as staff persons, all of whom have contact with students in a variety of venues and with widely varying power differentials. While there can be no single agreement upon what the issue of “respect” means to a variety of participants, there nevertheless can be a discussion about the evolution of issues of respect on campus and in educational settings. This book contributes to a larger conversation regarding respect and is a helpful starting point for increased consideration of this issue. In this particularly polarized political environment and one in which the coarseness of language and behavior seems ever expanding, it is interesting to assess what is happening on campus and how a variety of campus actors view issues of respect moving forward.
