Description

New realities in US higher education present a multifaceted crisis for students, faculty, administrators, and society at-large. In this original and practical book, Naomi Zack provides incisive diagnoses of pressing problems and prescriptions to reinstate and support US higher education as an intellectually and ethically valuable institution.<br><br>Among the problems addressed in this open access book are the US Supreme Court ban of affirmative action; falling enrollment and low retention; downsized and defunded humanities; the unjust situation of adjunct instructors; college firsts confronting social class; student mental health and microaggressions; disruptive free speech; the mind-numbing effects of AI; campus dangers and insecurity; and anti-intellectual ideological political pressure. The new ideas and policy changes proposed here result in a new model of belonging for the multiplicities of race, ethnicity, gender, class, age, and nationality––and more––in current and future college communities.<br><br><i>The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.
