The stakeholder
lens is grounded in the concept of the*town hall meeting where
students consult as many points of view as possible; analyze the arguments and
evidence, and draw thoughtful conclusions.
The *town hall meeting, as a
democratic decision-making tradition enables everyone who attends the meeting,
an opportunity to speak and to vote. Underlying it is the understanding that
diversity is essential to the whole and respect is afforded to all individuals
and their ideas.
