Environmental Scanning Defined

At Brookdale Community College, environmental scanning is a planned purposeful process to gather and share information within the college community. The external environment, including social, technological, environmental, economic and political factors, is examined to identify trends or events which could have future implications for the college. By understanding these forces of change, effective responses may be developed in order to plan for the future, identify challenges, be aware of opportunities and gain competitive advantage.

Students' Misplaced Sense of Entitlement?

Do you agree with Elayne Clift in her commentary published in a recent edition of The Chronicle of Higher Education that students have what she calls a "misplaced sense of entitlement"?  Does what she has to say about students of today ring true for you in your experiences and interactions with them?  Or are the students at BCC different from what Clift sees as a pervasive national trend in students' behavior reflecting
 "rude behavior, lack of intellectual rigor," or both, along with a "frightening decline in student performance and academic standards at institutions of higher learning"?  Check out Clift's commentary to see if you agree or disagree with her judgments.
