[quote=Anonymous]My kid at Oberlin calls many of his professors by their first name. It’s the community standard— not something he just started doing. Seems strange to me, but it’s part of the schools non-hierarchical/collaborative ethos. And before the resident Oberlin hater chimes in, do you want to know one college without encampments, protest zones, a police presence, arrests, or significant issues between Muslim and Jewish students right now? Where students are discussing the issues and not causing chaos? If you guessed Oberlin, you’d be right. Instead, the students are doing things like this: https://www.ideastream.org/race-gender-identity/2024-04-22/as-the-israel-hamas-war-rages-can-oberlin-college-students-revive-a-kosher-halal-dining-co-op Collaborative. Rational discussion. As I said, I don’t always “gret” it, but I’d rather my kid be at Oberlin right now than most other US colleges. [/quote]
