Abstract	An examination of cross-cultural toleration in South African university classrooms and speculation on the causes and effects of this toleration are presented in this paper. South African faculty attitudes are surveyed and compared against U.S. faculty attitudes. Findings expose the need for improvement regarding cross-cultural communication in the South African university classroom and an understanding of linguistic differences such as style, nonverbal behaviors, and high and low context communication process. Survey results are attached. (Author/DB)
