Asked if they were interested in University Ministry Service a minority of male and female students answered in the affirmative from each school. The participation rate in Prayer Breakfasts and Retreats was also small. We would hope that a maturing individual would demonstrate a decrease in self interest and an increase in the welfare of others. We focused on volunteerism, collegiality, arbitrary discrimination, campus ministry, the social needs of others and border issues. In the student response section, there is strong affirmation that they believe that they are respected by the faculty.
Students generally perceive that the classroom is almost free of racist or sexist behavior.
However, the results would probably be different if disaggregated by ethnicity and gender. Further statistical analysis of the survey is warranted to compare intergroup perceptions of campus relationships. Students also perceive that their individual dignity is respected by the overwhelming majority of faculty members. Furthermore, they would set high ethical standards for themselves and for their institution. And again, that appears to be the case.
