Description:
Social work educators and degree program administrators face difficult issues concerning law, student rights, and social justice in their role as gatekeepers of the social work profession. How, and why, should baccalaureate social work programs afford or restrict access to the profession? When do gatekeeping strategies mask educators' difficulties in teaching? Balancing the interests of a diverse student population, a baccalaureate program, and the profession -- to say nothing of the clients -- challenges gatekeepers' creativity.
