The Moral University

"Higher education is under siege by a number of forces ranging from corporate and military interests to those who want to remove any vestige of democratic values from the academy. The Moral University provides a robust history, set of critical narratives, and engaging arguments against these dangerous positions. It also offers readers one of the best arguments we have as to why matters of ethics, public values, and social responsibility are integral to how we both define the university and create the formative educational culture necessary for any viable notion of democracy. This is a much-needed book and should be read by everyone concerned not just with higher education but with democratic values and an aspiring democracy."---Henry Giroux, Global Television Network Chair Professor, McMaster University, Ontario, Canada --
