Altbach, Philip G., and Robert Cohen. "American Student Activism: The Post-Sixties

Transformation." The Journal of Higher Education 61.1 (1990): 32-49. Print. The authors
research the way of 1960’s protest and analyze the things that happened. From there

they connect issues such as the Vietnam war and student sit ins to the issues of the

1980’s onwards. They compare tactics from the 1960’s to those of the 1980’s and point

out the major changes such as people being more active in the present day. Altbach

and Cohen also pay very close attention to the reasons why the activism never died.

Scott, Joseph W. and El-Assal, Mohamed “Multiversity, University Size, University Quality and

Student Protest: An Empirical Study” American Sociological Review 34.5 (1969): 702-

709. Print. Scott and El-Assal go into the university and break it down piece by piece. In

this entry, the authors talk about how the size of the university determines whether

there will be a protest. Many different voices and mindsets can lead to protest because

of all the different opinions that exist. Culture also plays a big part in the determination

process. The more diverse a school is the more likely it is to find a conflicting opinion.

Culture might play a bigger factor than size in that aspect.

Rutgers RIOT

I felt that the tutorial was quite helpful, but that same information was given at our library session. Regardless, the information that was given in the tutorial would be very helpful to someone who did not attend an extensive research session. The RIOT program gives students a beneficial advantage to researching their topic and it also provides information without leaving the comfort of your home. I don't see anything wrong with the RIOT program and i feel that it could only help students reach their fullest research potential.

Library Questions

The questions that i think would be beneficial for my final research paper are:

1. Where would i be able to find accounts of different student protests from the past 40 years?

2. What would be a good way to go about this research topic? Where would i be able to find the most information?

3. Where could i find different accounts of student activism, aside from protests, in state schools from the past 40 years?
