Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston University / The problem of this dissertation is to investigate the critical factors in why men leave the campus ministry. Those entering have not been making it a life-long ministry. Many leave it before they are forty years old to take a parish church or a teaching position. The method chosen was a questionnaire study on those men who left the campus ministry. The subjects included: 1. full-time campus ministers 2. male 3. ordained 4. who served during at least five calendar years 5. who left the profession between 1950 and 1962 6. and who belong to the denominations or agency included in the National Student Christian Federation.

Whether the school fence does have to be demolished? Whether the campus should open to the community? Although many kinds of possibilities about the campus security and the management topics will emerge after the openness of the campus, the issue has recently became one of the heated discussion subjects between schools and guardians. The school and community should show loving care mutually to face the essence of the question and to seek for multiple resources, and further to allow the community benefits from the openness of the campus, while the campus can also attain the true security. This research adopts the literature analysis, the campus security events, and the present campus environment examination discussions thorough interviewing in which participates were inspected primarily by themselves. The main purpose of this research lies in the understanding of the campus opening policy, the present campus security control mechanism and the whole development under the policy in order to create community area campus life. According to the results of this research, the campus opening policy gains a wide range of approval of the school security guards; however, it does not yet reach a common view about the non-fence of the campus for a variety of deficits and insufficient. The findings of this research suggest that the openness of the campus may increase the campus security maintenance. These suggestions can be applied for the educational administration institutions and the schools for further reference.

Abstract The main purpose of this study is to explore the perception of senior and vocational high school students regarding safety climate and safety performance in the campus. Based on the review of campus safety events, related literatures on campus safety, and the analysis of validity and reliability, a questionnaire was developed which includes 91-item campus safety climate (CSC) scale, 46-item campus safety performance (CSP) scale, 98-item campus safety event likelihood (CSEL) scale. The factor analysis of CSC located four factors including: school commitment and action, student's commitment and perception of risk, safety attitude, response during an emergency, which explain 38.67% of the total variance. And CSP scale results in four factors: safety organization and management, safety training, safety equipment and measures, maintenance and event investigation, which explain 59.85% of the total variance. The researcher distributed 3280 questionnaires to students in 41 senior and vocational high schools in Taiwan. Of these 41 schools, 21 schools were chosen because of their poor performance in campus safety while the other 20 schools were selected due to their bright performance in campus safety. And 2837 valid questionnaires have been returned. The retrieving rate of the questionnaires is 86.49%. The independent-sample T test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation and canonical correlation analysis is has been applied to the analysis of the raw data. The major findings of the research are listed below: 1. Significant positive correlation between CSC and CSP is found. The strongest positive correlation exists between school commitment and action and CSP; the second one is between student's commitment and perception of risk and CSP. 2. School commitment and action is the best predictor to CSP, and the second one is student's commitment and perception of risk. 3. The more score a school gets in CSEL scale, the less campus safety events happened at that school. The significant positive correlation can be found among CSEL, CSC and CSP scale. And the correlation is especially high between CSEL and safety equipment and measure, the same is happened between CSEL and CSP. 4. The most frequent campus event among senior and vocational high school students is injures during exercises and games (26.3%). The next campus event is the conflicts between teachers and students (13.2%). The third one is traffic accidents outside the campus (12%). And the fourth one is the fights among teenagers (10.9%). 5. CSC, CSP and CSEL scales can provide available information for the control of campus safety event and for the direction of prevention campaigns. Keywords: campus safety climate, campus safety performance, campus safety perception

This thesis peruses the programmatic elements that are considered and implemented by designers and administrators and whether these elements contribute to creating successful residential campus courtyards in the southeast United States. A web-based survey questionnaire was administered to designers and administrators who have been involved in projects that were built in the region. Based on literature, site observations, and the results of the survey the researcher illustrates which program elements were the most important, as well as whether each element was implemented on site and why.

In a world where students and teachers both rely on technology in the process of education, understanding the constraints of public school administrators to regulate off-campus student's speech is a vital issue. This dissertation focuses on ways to evaluate legal analysis of cases involved in off campus speech. The methodology of legal analysis is used to identify judicial reasoning concerning established legal principles pertaining to the constitutional right of public school students to freedom of expression, and the application of those principles to off-campus student expression delivered by electronic means. This research produces a number of key findings: Many lower court cases have favored with the students unless the school district could prove substantial disruption to the learning environment or a true threat existed due to the off campus speech. In addition, it is crucial for the districts to have concrete policies in place to educate the students about acceptable usage of technology. The main conclusions drawn from this research are that current approaches to punishing students for their offensive off campus speech does not uphold in the courts and administrators must be resilient to speech that may be unpleasant to them. This research also includes several recommendations for administrators such as guidelines on how to write their acceptable usage policy. It also provides a chart with a summary of critical cases of importance to administrators.
