Abstract

The ever-changing climate of academia has proven to be a significant challenge for educators across disciplines. Administration places great emphasis on student feedback from evaluations to determine if faculty are worthy of being granted tenure and promotion (Kreitzer & Sweet-Cushman.). Although student feedback is critical to measure meaningful learning from the scholars' lens and course revisions, the question remains whether it should be equated to distinguishing an educator's value. The overarching theme of incivility in the academic arena remains salient as some students extend malice deliberately to tarnish faculty reputation. Without regard to context and motive, untruthful allegations have the potential to mitigate professional advancement and might cost an individual their position and livelihood.
