Armstrong link to PDF below https://lsa.umich.edu/content/dam/orgstudies-assets/orgstudiesdocuments/oshonors/oshonorsthesis/Colyer Thesis only for posting.pdf Interesting article that will take a while to completely parse through. There are some pieces of incorrect information on the writer's point on rule changes and the timing of rule changes, but that doesn't negate the point. It is sad that I, based on experience, find there to be truth here. It is unfortunately that more "males" didn't step up to contribute, but it would be more of the same, I'm sure. I do think the militaristic aspect that has been described has been replaced with "competition" aspect, and it doesn't really matter about the gender basis of the concept. We as humans, we're competitive. It doesn't matter about gender identity. What I've seen from the outside is that corps have been shifting away from the militaristic aspects on many fronts, and they seem to need to do more, and instructors need to learn better skills to reach people. You can not treat people like crap. Really, we can not treat people like crap. So, I'm not going to critique study's position, I do wish it covered more people from different groups and identities, but I'm sure the stories would be similar. Best wishes.

I have got to print this bad boy out and take pen to paper to digest it so I'll be a while. Thanks for the resource all, I'm fascinated. In the meantime, I'd like to re-advise OP to send all survivors to https://www.rainn.org/ first before anywhere else. Note that RAINN focuses specifically on sexual violence, and I'm still hunting for the first line of defense in non-sexual violations. RAINN has a 24/7 active hotline and online chat with trained professionals. They do not provide legal advice but can help survivors ground themselves for any potential next steps. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear I think PowerPoint is possibly the single WORST thing that ever happened to the work industry. I actually did an Elearning last year on using the tool correctly and how to stick to principles of instructional design and accessibility and fanned it out to the training group. Trainers and OPS folks are literally THE WORST at designing content. It's either death by ppt or it's flashing, blinking garbage full of animations created with an "oooohhhhh that's pretttttyyyyyy" approach. I am glad (I think) that I am moving to the Legal Group in a few weeks..... 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've become a firm believer that all of our school technology, including PowerPoint, are designed to fail. And then there's the WiFi. 🤦♂️🤷♂️ Edited September 24, 2022 by keystone3ply cx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
