Arguing that since the time of John Dewey there has been little probing discussion of the nature and purpose of higher education, Curtler (philosophy, Southwest State U., Minnesota) echoes many of the concerns raised in Allan Bloom's Closing of the American Mind . He argues that the purpose of liberal arts education has been lost and in a series of previously published (but revised) essays argues against expanding the canon to include marginalized voices, suggests that athletes on scholarship should just be paid for their efforts and booted out of classes, and contends that liberal arts education can and should be expanded to all of the public colleges.
