Careerism and Role Models in College Life
Annette K Baxter argues that 1970s reforms shifted faculty from authority figures to role models, shaping student ambitions and values. The piece contrasts pluralistic, open campus cultures with rigid, status driven environments and notes Barnard College’s Women’s Center as a supportive example. Baxter asserts faculty influence will mold graduates’ paths, whether toward poverty law or high career status.
