Organizational Ties - Week 11

Organizations are tied into the environment because they surround the people involved in the community and influence the rest of the people.  Organizations are "everywhere" as the text concludes, thus they relatively have an influence when it comes down to communication structures.  The relationship to the school I attend is that myself and all other student are attending the college in order to achieve a "common educational goal".  Since the location of the school is in Rocklin, California, the college is related to such area by exposing it's curriculum to those jobs in that city.  You wouldn't find a course for mining or farming because it would not necessarily be relevant to that area.  Because Rocklin has a suburb feel with several businesses surrounded, many opportunities are connected to the life of the city through the college.  The ethical obligations that Sierra College has to the local community is being able to provide a substantial education for all of it's students in order to allow the city itself to grow.  The school is entitled to communicate to it's fellow students to strive and become certified ( or obtain a degree etc), while posing local job and career opportunities.  Also, the administrative and faculty staff, and professors and coaches must provide the correct teachings to guide to the students in the right path.  Could you imagine if a professor taught misleading to a group of students, where this aspect of factual information became apparent in their everyday lives?

  1. Hello Hazel,

    I think that if a professor was teaching misleading information then it would reflect badly on the entire school. A college is dependent on its staff and if a staff member is teaching inappropriately then it reflects on the college. It is the college’s duty to either correct the professor or to fire them. If the college chooses to ignore the problem then it will only get worse and they will have more problems down the line. Colleges are expected to behave ethically and if they allow the people within their system to behave unethically then their system will not function properly. Communities rely on their local college and the role of a college is tightly knit within every facet of the community.
