This presidential address takes a forward look back on higher education within a global context and in the aftermath of a global health pandemic, making an argument for the need to humanize higher education. The address offers a definition for dehumanization and discusses manifestations of dehumanization in institutional cultures.

They conclude this chapter by sharing examples of some promising practices in higher education. Though, throughout the book the authors related their research to key literature, there were a few areas in which additional literature would have buttressed their findings and discussion. For instance, the spiritual quest construct could have been related to the works of Chickering and Reisser (1993), Fowler (1981), and Parks (2000) as they all pertain to developing purpose and/or finding meaning in life. Additionally, there is a growing body of literature related to students’ involvement in religious organizations (e.g., Bryant, 2005), none of which was referenced when discussing religious engagement. Furthermore, while discussing the measure of religiousness used in their study, the authors provided some conceptualizations and made statements that could be perceived as exclusionary, offensive, and/or contrary to certain faith traditions. For example, the authors stated that “to become more inclusive, we also have to believe in the basic goodness of each person” (p. 78). This statement is theological in nature and does not reflect the beliefs of all faith traditions. Perhaps the most significant critique of the book relates to the omission of legal guidelines associated with religion in higher education. Though the authors mentioned the fear of some faculty concerning “the need to maintain a separation of church and state” (p. 141), they failed to provide guidance as to what is legally appropriate where religious expression in secular higher education is concerned. Without such guidance, even those who acknowledge the importance of spiritual and religious development might be reluctant to want to strive to facilitate it among students. Overall, the authors effectively communicated the importance of facilitating students’ spiritual and religious development. The discussion of the methodology used by the authors can assist other researchers who are interested in studying similar concepts. Additionally, this book will be helpful to the many higher education faculty and administrators who are interested in practical ideas as to how to assist students in this significant realm of development.}, number={2}, journal={JOURNAL OF COLLEGE STUDENT DEVELOPMENT}, author={Gayles, Joy Gaston}, year={2012}, pages={364–366} } @article{gayles_2011, title={Editors' notes}, volume={2011}, ISSN={0271-0579}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/ir.403}, DOI={10.1002/ir.403}, abstractNote={New Directions for Institutional ResearchVolume 2011, Issue 152 p. 1-3 Editors' Notes Editors' notes Joy Gaston Gayles, Joy Gaston Gayles North Carolina State UniversitySearch for more papers by this author Joy Gaston Gayles, Joy Gaston Gayles North Carolina State UniversitySearch for more papers by this author First published: 21 December 2011 https://doi.org/10.1002/ir.403AboutPDF ToolsRequest permissionExport citationAdd to favoritesTrack citation ShareShare Give accessShare full text accessShare full-text accessPlease review our Terms and Conditions of Use and check box below to share full-text version of article.I have read and accept the Wiley Online Library Terms and Conditions of UseShareable LinkUse the link below to share a full-text version of this article with your friends and colleagues.
