The sides are often (although not always) divided by ethnicity, religion and language. Usually the armies involved are small, as are the engagements they fight (the standard political science classification of a civil war is an internal conflict that causes 1,000 or more deaths in battle a year, a relatively modest baseline).

Poor instructors should be required to attend classes at the center. The Center should require that professors have students evaluate courses partway through the term. Additionally, professors and other faculty should observe and assess their peers’ teaching. Any professor who fares poorly on these evaluations should be required to take remedial courses at the Center. If they continue to receive poor feedback on their teaching, they would continue...
