Losing
Sleep Over Student Success?
By France A. Córdova
One issue on which parents, students, the public, and educators can
agree is the importance—and the challenge—of student
success, says the chancellor of the University of California, Riverside.
A renewed focus on student success could help reinvigorate the public's
appreciation of higher education as a place to grow, to dream, to be
creative, to think—a place of opportunity, she argues. James C.
Renick, former chancellor of North Carolina Agricultural and Technical
State University, adds his thoughts on why higher education leaders need
to focus on the success of a diverse student population, especially in
the STEM fields.
From Left to Right: The Free Exchange of Ideas
Defending
Academic Values
David Horowitz, president of the Center for the Study of Popular
Culture, defends his Academic Bill of Rights, arguing that it is
designed to help universities enforce professional standards and foster
intellectual diversity in the liberal arts, humanities, and social
sciences. Only then, he says, can universities win public support on
both sides of the political and cultural divides.
A
Contradiction in Terms
Roger W. Bowen, the general secretary of the American Association of
University Professors, argues that by advocating legislation and forcing
people to be free, Horowitz may destroy the very academic freedom he
claims to want. Karen A. Holbrook, president of The Ohio State
University; John C. Cavanaugh, president of the University of West
Florida; and Robert A. Corrigan, president of San Francisco State
University, add their views on the academic freedom debate.
