At a time when higher education attendance has never felt more mandatory for career
success and economic growth, the distinguished contributors to this provocative collection
ask readers to consider the civic mission of higher education as equally vital to
the nation's well-being. Should higher education serve a greater public interest?
In what ways should colleges and universities be asked to participate in public controversies?
What should we expect institutions of higher education to contribute to the development
of honesty and ethical judgment in the civic sphere? What should colleges do to foster
greater intellectual curiosity and aesthetic appreciation in their students and communities,
and why is this important for all Americans? --Book Description
