Can Our Institutions Accomodate People Who Don't Believe in Them?
This video is from 2–3 years ago, ahead of the very real timeliness of this issue. Sandy Shugart is president of Valencia College (formerly Valencia Community College, which name change he refers to in this presentation) and is the Sunday evening plenary speaker at SCUP–47 in Chicago, July 7–11, 2012; higher education's premier planning event. In this video he asks and addresses the question, “Can Our Institutions Accommodate to People Who Don't Believe In Them.”
Shugart is an accomplished poet and musical artist, as well as the man who recently accepted on Valencia’s behalf, the designation of the Top Community College in the United States. If you just want the talk, skip ahead to about 30 minutes. But you’ll be missing a really good singing performance, with commentary. We very much hope that he brings his guitar to Chicago for SCUP–47.
