Ethos: Its Influence on Student Learning.

Kuh, George D.

Liberal Education, v79 n4 p22-31 Fall 1993

The ethos of a college or university is a belief system widely shared by faculty, students, administrators, and others. Colleges with an ethos of learning share three themes: (1) a holistic institutional philosophy of learning; (2) an involving campus culture; and (3) a climate encouraging free expression. A learning ethos must be cultivated carefully. (MSE)
