I am a non tradtional student. I thimk the campus is beautiful and the instructors are well knowledgeable on their field. I have a problem with the conduct of students while in class and that the policies and procedures printed in the handbook is not being exercised. I watch the discussed looks on the faces of these professors everyday when they are trying to give a lecture. Students are using profanity, having personal conversations while the instructor is teaching, they are texting, on the phone, listening to i-pods, and on facebook. When the instructor asks them to put away their electronics, they are met with a negative comment, won't put it away, or use profanity. It distracts the students who are trying to learn. When a fellow non traditional student went to advise an authority about a situation in her class, she was told that she is a student just like everyone else and it is not her place to say anything to another student, she should let the professor handle it. That's why she was there in the office in the first place because the instructor did not do anything.When does it become a university? Pants below the waist, girls wearing shorts at the butt, anything with Pink on the butt is Victoria Secret, oscene writing on the shirts, while class is going on, you can hear students talking loud and using profanity. What type of environment is this? I really hate that there is not another campus offering Social work because I would leave this school. They are making a landmark institution into a ghetto haven. So sad!
