I'm always a little suspicious of 'student panels' because they represent only those who have been successful in gaining admission and paying tuition and so represent the most advantaged of all the people colleges and universities could possibly serve. The advice provided by these students from DePaul University seems pretty good at first glance, but you can see the influence of selection: the emphasis on community building and belonging, norms and collaboration. All these reinforce the students' status vis-à-vis society as a whole as exceptional. For people not from their social group (in and out of class) they reinforce otherness and exclusion (this sort of thing is what motivated my groups versus networks analysis).
