NEW TECHNOLOGY
CASPER COLLEGE SOCIAL SCIENCE SEMINAR • MARCH 22-23, 1979

�"Technology and Democracy:
Getting There Is All the Pun"
Our society has been most dis­
tinctively a way of reaching for
rather than of finding. American
democracy, properly speaking, has
been a process and not a product,
a quest and not a discovery. But
a greater danger which has been
nourished by our success In tech­
nology has been the belief In
solutions. For technological
problems there are solutions.
In human history In the long
run there are no solutions, only
problems. Every seeming solution
Is a new problem. When we think
about American democratic society,
then, we must learn not to think
about a condition, but about a
process; not about democracy, but
about the quest for democracy.

The most distinctive feature of
our system Is not a system, but a
quest, not a neat arrangement of
men and Institutions, but a flux.
What other society has ever com­
mitted Itself to so tantalizing,
so fulfilling, so frustrating a
community enterprise?

Reflections on Everyday America

r human values
and the

new technology

�"Technology and Democracy:
Getting There Is All the Pun"
Our society has been most dis­
tinctively a way of reaching for
rather than of finding. American
democracy, properly speaking, has
been a process and not a product,
a quest and not a discovery. But
a greater danger which has been
nourished by our success In tech­
nology has been the belief In
solutions. For technological
problems there are solutions.

In human history In the long
run there are no solutions, only
problems. Every seeming solution
Is a new problem. When we think
about American democratic society,
then, we must learn not to think
about a condition, but about a
process; not about democracy, but
about the quest for democracy.
The most distinctive feature of
our system Is not a system, but a
quest, not a neat arrangement of
men and Institutions, but a flux.
What other society has ever com­
mitted Itself to so tantalizing,
so fulfilling, so frustrating a
community enterprise?

Reflections on Everyday America

Samuel Orr
I could be jealous
Of all the love you get
Of all the praise, and adoring craze
And the attention that you’ve met
I could be jealous
Of your skills which always abound
Of your talent and grace, and first place in the races
That I care so much about
I could be jealous
Of your charming, chiseled face
Of the eyes who will meet, your tempting physique
And the many hearts that you’ll race
In any of these envies I could fall
And my heart could buckle and bend
My eyes could compare my rough to your fair
And lead down a path with no end

But I won’t go down that path today
For I know where my true worth comes from
Not from skills or from praise, nor from strength or from face
But from the loving Lord above

From him alone my value comes
Not how alike I am to you
For he does not see what we’ve amounted to be
In terms of our twisted view

and humanities are rarely crossed by
career-minded academics today, at least
those on the tenure track.
In contrast, community colleges offer a

The National Center for Postsecondary Research (NCPR) focuses on measuring
the effectiveness of programs designed to help students make the transition
to college and master the basic skills needed to advance to a degree. NCPR is
currently pursuing research in dual enrollment; postsecondary remediation,
including learning communities; and financial aid.
Established through a five-year grant from the Institute of Education Sciences
(lES) of the U.S. Department of Education, NCPR is housed at the Community
College Research Center, Teachers College, Columbia University, and operated
in collaboration with partners MDRC, the Curry School of Education at the
University of Virginia, and faculty at Harvard University.
Through its research, NCPR aims to:
• Reduce barriers to college and other education programs
• Ease students' transition from high school to college
• Make college advancement easier
• Increase college completion rates

THE CHRONICLE OF HIGHER EDUCATION • COMMUNITY COLLEGES

OCTOBER 31, 2008

�into the bookstore and introduced my­
self, the proprietor looked surprised and
said, “Oh—I expected someone quite a
bit older." She knew from my biography
that I taught sociology, and she explained
that she had assumed I had reached the
end of my career as an academic, since
I had found time to write a book meant
for a general audience.
I understood her surprise. University
faculty members must prove themselves to
a narrow audience of experts before they
can take time to dabble in something as
prosaic as writing fly-fishing stories. For
community-college teachers, however,
there is no waiting or hand-wringing over
the timing or placement of publications.
You can write and publish wherever and
whenever you please, and without regard
for disciplinary boundaries.
The tenure process at community col­
leges hinges on student and collegial eval­
uation of teaching performance. I realize
that earning tenure under such conditions
might sound like a cakewalk, given that
teaching receives more attention at com­
munity colleges than either research or
service. But don’t be fooled: Students can
be harsh critics. They are rarely qualified
to assess a faculty member’s overall com­
petence, but they can tell whether they
are receiving an education or not.
A successful career at a community
college depends on shifting one’s per­
ception. Students—even the snarling
ones with baseball caps pulled down
over their eyes and baggy pants hanging
off their posteriors—must become the
focus of one’s work life and the source
of one’s job satisfaction. Regardless of
whether they want or feel as if they need
to take your courses, ill-prepared and
unmotivated students show up in your
classroom, and that fact often presents a
challenge to new teachers. Even so, the
good ones eventually realize that making
ill-prepared and unmotivated students a
priority is a luxury of sorts. At universi­
ties, educators take pride and pleasure in
the challenge of securing grants to pay
for new lines of research, but I have the
freedom to make the surly, often-ill-pre­
pared kid in the back row the challenge
of my professional life, and that suits
me.

laughter that makes your eyes water and
your cheeks ache. I longed for that. I was
surrounded by brilliant people who took
themselves far more seriously than any­
body should, no matter how many ways
you prove yourself or your intelligence.
Once on a coffee break, I caught a look
at myself in a mirror—short-sleeve shirt,
bold-striped necktie, and a pocket pro­
tector lined with upscale pens and me­
chanical pencils. I looked like a ball of
rubber bands wound too tight to be use­
ful to anyone. I knew I needed a change.
Universities are high-minded, reward­
ing, and prestigious places to work. But

HAVE COLLEAGUES who complain
about the amount of time it takes
to teach five sections of such stu­
dents per term, but the fact is that
at comprehensive state universities, fac­
ulty members often teach four sections
per semester, and they are also expected
to find external sources of financing, to
the point that the grant money offsets
a share of their salaries. At community
colleges, grant writing is encouraged but
not required, and when faculty members
are paid through a grant, that money is
typically disbursed in addition to, not in
lieu of, salaries.
Community-college teaching can be
lucrative. I received a pay increase when
I left the tiniversity and took up teaching
at a two-year college. But that’s not why
I left my job conducting research. I left
because, though the work was meaning­
ful, it was humorless. Near the end, as
I sat in front of the computer in my of­
fice, I could feel the hours and days slip­
ping by without the kind of uninhibited

each semester I look forward to meet­

working with the sullen bunch that sits
in the last two rows of desks, near the
door in the back. I consider it my duty
to make them smile at some point early
in the term.

For survey and find out.

The survey, now in its second year, has generated research
and insight that have helped many institutions with their
goals of creating great workplaces.

Your participation this year can help you understand
your employees' perception of your institution, and can
also provide a framework from which you can refine your
recruitment and retention strategies.
Due to the overwhelming response to last year’s survey,
we have opened the 2009 survey to a wider variety of
institutions, including community colleges. But space
is strictly limited, and we expect to reach our cutoff point
soon. Make sure your institution is included—go to
