Is higher education in trouble? Should colleges and universities cater to job requirements or lead students toward the best in human achievement and creativity or do something entirely new and different?
This program will consider many issues including but not limited to: What is the value of higher education for today’s students? Is it a right or a privilege? Who should pay? Is it too woke or too capitalist? Facilitation will be by three former faculty members and administrators at a number of private and public institutions.
This free event will be held in the Jefferson Center, suite 101, in the Old Armory, 208 Oak St., in Ashland. It is part of the Salon series of The Jefferson Center, a Rogue Valley non-profit focused on critical thinking using secular humanist values to understand and engage with issues important to our community.
