The influence of John Dewey's philosophy of education - most notably, emphasizing the educational value of experience and service, situating learning in community, and promoting a faith in cultural pluralism - is evident in recent calls for institutions of higher education to strengthen to the larger community and to promote multiculturalism (Gamson, 1997).

Critical Engagement

The deliberate and well-crafted creep of neoliberalism into institutions of higher education has consequences for faculty that are likewise felt by students, families, and society at large. This article provides an autoethnographic glimpse at how democratic education is being forsaken to for-profit activities and how faculty at one campus pushed back against their own administration in response. I conclude with some suggestions for how to communicate and organize to keep hope alive for higher education to remain a vibrant public sphere where critical engagement can flourish.

International Audience

Dr. Hogan has pinpointed a much-needed discussion about the nature of online degrees. The idea of borderless degrees is interesting and in need of exploration. Currently most degrees are location specific, and international students, while able to access these degrees, often find the curriculum is not designed in a way as to be applicable to an international audience. The book examines the historical roots of higher education and traces the development of institutions of higher education as they have evolved.

With this quote, Donald emphasizes the growing need for institutions of higher education to engage in self-evaluation and self assessment in order to determing their "raison d' etre" in relationship to learning.
