Higher education is receiving a lot of negative attention right now. Yet the supposedly negative view of higher education is not borne out by the statistics. Cathy Davidson believes that higher education remains important to the public good, however, she maintains that it is also in need of reformation. Because post secondary education is vital, it is incumbent on those who work in higher education to make sure the field is doing what is supposed to do: training the next generation not only for jobs but also to be leaders who can create better and more equitable futures-- in the workplace, in their communities, and in the larger world. Davidson challenges professionals in the field to fight for universities, but maintains that there is also a great need to create universities worth fighting for. Davidson makes the case for a revolution in the fundamental way educators think about the purpose of higher education and the demographics of the professoriate. Despite decades of research and theory about race, gender, and ethnicity, the number of scholars of color and women in higher education, especially in leadership positions, has not significantly changed. Clearly, theorizing about equality has not changed the actual profession. Structural inequalities cannot be restructured simply with good words and goodwill. Higher education needs to build new structures that put equality at the core. This extends to students as well, and educators must ask themselves if they are passing on value systems as well as implicit bias. Why are some fields still mostly male or almost entirely white? Why are others female? Who is making this selection? Davidson writes that we will not see changes unless we know who our students are, who our faculty are, and what our challenges are.
