Framework for Filtering the Expectations of Common Behavior and Standards in a Highly Diverse Student Environment

Abstract

The European Campus Rottal-Inn (ECRI), which is a part of the Deggendorf Institute of Technology, is considered to be one of the most culturally diverse campuses, with one of the highest international student populations, in Germany. The highly diverse and international environment of the campus, which is set in a rural area of Bavaria, offers an exceptional opportunity to study in a diverse and intercultural setting. However, it also means that the students, staff, and the local community often have differing expectations of behavior, interaction, and tolerance. The Group Expectations Framework, a framework for determining common expectations, was developed through various workshops and surveys that were conducted with the students, staff, and local community participants. The framework allowed for responses from the participants of differing interest groups to be analyzed and to determine how these fit into the of the different categories of subcategory of expectations, their norming or forming character, and if the expectations were seen as voluntary behavior or were seen as a code of conduct with a regulatory character.
