The depth and variety of perspectives on respect provided make the reader want to keep the conversation going, in an effort to more fully understand and hopefully incite change, when it comes to incivility at all levels of interaction.

Respect on Campus in an Age of Growing Disrespect is both timely and relevant. While this topic has been on the minds of the two editors for years, the discussion is necessary today more than ever. As the current administration pushes the public to consider the value of higher education while the ultra-rich buy their children’s way into the perceived “elite” colleges and universities, respect of the Academy and its faculty and staff are on the decline. This book provides insight to readers from numerous observers who are in a variety of disciplines and should become a common-reading experience for all university and college community members.
