As an educator with 5 years as a full-time faculty member at an engineering college, I have had the pleasure of working with incredibly intelligent people of all levels of seniority. It is a great privilege to have the opportunity to share my knowledge, work with students, and observe the learning process. Observing - carefully and compassionately noticing what a student is doing - is one of the most powerful modalities for education.
As a life-long student, I naturally continued to observe my colleagues and students as I moved up the hierarchy in higher education. In a private institution, opacity, prejudicial assumptions and politics can obscure how capital and knowledge combine to evolve the environment. In my opinion, transparency foments a better educational environment.
