Higher Education’s Indispensable Role in Preserving and Advancing Democracy
Democracy is under threat all over the world. What is higher education’s role in helping to meet that threat? The talk will explore higher education’s democratic mission, as well as what might be done to better realize that mission, not only on campus, but in the community, across the wider society and around the world.
