Riassunto

"Higher education is under siege by a number of forces ranging from corporate and military interests to those who want to remove any vestige of democratic values from the academy. The Moral University provide- a robust history, set of critical narratives, and engaging arguments against these dangerous positions. It also offers readers one of the best arguments we have as to why matters of ethics, public values, and social responsibility are integral to how we both define the university and create the formative educational culture necessary for any viable notion of democracy. This is a much-needed book and should be read by everyone concerned not just with higher education but with democratic values and an aspiring democracy."-Henry Giroux, Global Television Network Chair Professor, McMaster University, Ontario, Canada

The Moral University examines the ways that universities act morally toward students, faculty, their communities, and the nation. It considers the effectiveness of moral reasoning courses in the curriculum and the growth of leadership courses. The book deals with the myriad ways in which universities act positively toward their communities. It also examines the involvement of universities in national projects. Moreover, Maurice and Clair Berube examine how students and faculty are treated, especially in terms of gender bias. The book concludes on a positive note with a model moral university.
