The work of the Naturist
Studies Institute, at its core, will always be naturism as a sustainability
option. We do, however, have a dream. The dream is
for the Naturist Studies Institute to evolve into a social sciences
university. This university would attract the best and brightest
regardless of race, class, gender, age, religion or sexual
orientation.
This school will be a small, progressive secular but morally directed institution dedicated to social change that will produce quality social scientists/activists unburdened with student loan debt. These individuals then may use their surplus resources and unburdened energies to work in countless ways towards a free, democratic ecological society. Only tuition waivers, federal grants, work study, scholarships, Americorp, and work and pay-as-you-go would be authorized as means of paying for costs associated with college education by undergraduate and graduate students. Undergraduates would be charged reasonable fees for their college education. Courses would be absolutely free for graduate students. Graduate students would run the university in all areas of operations including the undergraduate program. A dedicated cadre of social scientists in sociology, social ecology, social work, philosophy, political science, history, geography, health, public policy analysis, sustainable systems design, community planning, and naturist studies would mentor and teach the graduate students. The campus would be an open campus where academic freedom flourishes and body freedom is accepted but always social capital and a common set of moral values guide individual behavior and choices. This is the future focus of the Naturist Studies Institute. |
