Book Synopsis
Looking beyond the arguments over how universities should be financed, how they should be run, and what their contributions to the economy are, the contributors to this book set their sights on higher issues: ones of moral and political value. What are the proper aims of the university? What role do the liberal arts play in fulfilling those aims?

Trade Review

Who should have access to college education? And what should be the relationship between higher education and broader society?" Danielle Allen, coeditor of Education, Justice, and Democracy)
