Social Academic 

A social academic is what every college girl is looking for. He is the perfect balance between social charisma and academic excellence. It is important to note that a social academic cannot be too social or too academic, but rather a perfect balance between the two. This makes the social academic a rare and desirable breed of male specimen.

Taylor: "That sucks, my boy is a commerce major and can do a keg stand for 3 minutes. He's a perfect social academic."

academic social immobility

The inability of an individual's social status to change in a school hierarchy. Can also apply to colleges and universities. Usually a consequence of a school environment where cliques are a strong and omnipresent force. Generally results in cliques sticking together for longer than usual, stark contrasts of quality in the social lives of individual students, and close relationships (plus other social luxuries) being limited to the school alpha males and alpha females while those less fortunate are crushed through drudgery such as homework. Antonym of "academic social mobility".
One of the foundations of an elitist "student body" is academic social immobility. Wherever you happen to be in the school hierarchy, whether you be popular and successful or excluded and oppressed, you will stay there for the rest of your school days.

Theory of Academic Social Control

Focuses on how educational institutions and knowledge-production systems (universities, journals, disciplines) regulate what is considered valid truth and who is allowed to speak it. Control is exerted through gatekeeping (credentials, tenure), defining legitimate topics and methodologies, and marginalizing "non-scholarly" or dissenting forms of knowledge.
Theory of Academic Social Control Example: The rigid requirement for a Ph.D. and peer-reviewed publications in a specific style to be considered a legitimate voice on a public health issue. This academic control marginalizes practical community healers or those using indigenous knowledge systems. It dictates whose expertise "counts," controlling the narrative by credentialing and methodology, not just by evidence.

"Did you hear the song Aylek$ dropped?"
"Hardly. Her music is absolute cheeks."

"My boyfriend say LaFlame is cheeks."
"Tell your boyfriend I said it's his mixtape that's cheeks."
