About This Quote

The students, who attended a Christian college, expected the school to exhibit the behavior it expected from students and hold true to its espoused values. The students were mad because they felt that the school was not living up to its Christian values. These values are important to the students because they want a school that follows them and respects their beliefs. The students felt that the school was going against what it said it believed in. The expression of these expectations can be seen in student evaluations, which often include phrases such as "the faculty understands me" and "the faculty encourages me to think for myself.
