About Academic Questions

04/08/2008

Academic Questions is a scholarly journal about the vices and virtues of the contemporary university.

American higher education has been profoundly compromised in the past three decades. Standards have been eroded, the curriculum has been debased, and research has been trivialized or distorted by ideology. Yet the established voices of the academy often speak in tones that are self-congratulatory rather than self-critical. Academic Questions utilizes the best of scholarly analysis to explore the conspicuous vices, as well as the virtues, of the contemporary university. A quarterly critique of the academy by academics themselves, Academic Questions will uphold the traditions of humanism and intellectual freedom.
