In an academy squeezed hard by formidable pressures, what is the future of the faculty?

The term paideia, drawn from Greek philosophy, has to do with responsible education for citizenship as a necessary precondition for effective democracy. The problems discussed here are crucial, but not simple. How can we find shared et...
