It’s time to restore the civic function of US universities

Focusing on research at the expense of teaching has left institutions vulnerable to Trumpian attack.
Carlo Invernizzi Accetti (Professor and Chair of the Political Science Department at the City College of New York) notes:
“The dirty secret of elite higher education in the US is that, long before the Trump administration began attacking it, it had stopped prioritizing what students learn there.
The shift was incremental, and mostly well-intentioned, but decisive: prestige came to be measured by grant volume, citation counts and patent pipelines; not by whether undergraduates could weigh evidence, argue across difference, and act as citizens. The result is a university environment in which the most famous campuses resemble rarefied research parks with fun-house dormitories attached.”
