CSU's Past Provost, Loren Crabtree, drew the following continuum.
DATA------------INFORMATION------------KNOWLEDGE------------WISDOM
Dr. Crabtree pointed out that the World Wide Web has a great
deal of data, a fair amount of information, some knowledge,
and very little wisdom (personal communication, September 29,
1998). Provost Crabtree went on to say, "Colorado State University
is a Carnegie Research I institution. We are among a premier
group of institutions that provide high-quality, research-based
information. Colorado State is proud to be high on the list."
What is a Carnegie Research I institution? According to The
Chronicle of Higher Education (1998, August 28, p. 42, "Research
Universities 1 offer a full range of baccalaureate programs,
are committed to graduate education through the doctorate, and
give high priority to research. They award 50 or more doctoral
degrees each year. In addition, they receive annually $40-million
or more in federal support." Source: Doctorate-Granting Institutions.
(1998, August 28). The Chronicle of Higher Education Almanac,
XLV(1), p. 42. Only 89 of 240 Doctorate-Granting Institutions
are Carnegie Research I institutions. Colorado State University
is one of the 89 top institutions which means CSU is in the
top 37% of Doctorate-Granting Institutions.

How would you recommend a Youth Violence Prevention Program
to your local principal/guidance counselor/teacher for his/her
use with a targeted audience? Let's say in your community the
school calls you and asks you to recommend a program that they
can purchase to address the problem of youth violence. How would
you help the school choose? What questions would you ask? What
characteristics would you look for? How would you distinguish
a quality one from a non-quality one? What criteria would you
use? Ads that come across your desk? Catalogs? Peer recommendations?
How confident are you that the violence prevention program you
choose will work with the targeted group(s) of youth? Who is
the targeted audience? What kind of a violence problem do you
want to address? How big is the problem? How many youth are
involved? What ethnicity, social economic conditions exist?
