Can the University Defend the Values upon Which It Stands?
Wilshire, Bruce
Journal of Higher Education, v58 n3 p249-60 May-Jun 1987
The inability of university professors to communicate about shared concepts and concerns--e.g., meaning, self, integrity, an ideal of truth--is related to the fragmented university, departmentalized and bureaucratized. The impact of this on the humanity of those involved is sketched, and suppositions are advanced about the nature of education. (Author/MLW)
