I’m not entirely sure whether your point here is in agreement or disagreement with my previous statement. Correct me if I am wrong, but I think you’re saying something along the lines of:
“students aren’t taking immediate action and are only going over theory, thus the community building efforts focused on theory must be open-minded and don’t represent field building”
If that’s the case, I don’t see the complete logic of how because it ‘can’ work out that way that it ‘must’, and the ambiguity is what I’m focused on and would like more evidence on. Success metrics in my experience or uni groups particularly focus on participation rather than depth/retention of engagement.
I agree with the proposal of University groups as impact-driven truth-seeking teams and mentioned a few of my observations corresponding to your comment. Of course, it can work out. I tried to think about some of the reasons behind the same ambiguity you mentioned. It is just my two cents. I, too, consider the importance of participation above all.
