How far are we willing to go in devaluing culture?
The Browne Report: “Students are best placed to make the judgment about what they want to get from participating in higher education.”
Stanley Fish: “No, they aren’t; judgment is what education is supposed to produce; if students possessed it at the get-go, there would be nothing for courses and programs to do.”
The Browne Report: Courses of study that “deliver improved employability will prosper,” while those that don’t “will disappear.”
What do we value?
What enriches our lives and makes us more human?
Does our civilization recognize any sort of value that can not be commodified?
