| Long abstract | The challenges facing the academy are great and have in many ways been well documented in recent times. As a general trend, enrollments are slipping at many institutions and state legisla-tures are cutting funds to state universities in the name of re-duced spending. Individual academics face mounting issues as well. Teaching loads continue to grow, while funding for re-search is dropping, not to mention the decrease in hiring. Par-ticularly hard hit are the humanities, which are seen by many as unnecessary in a climate in which preparation for the job mar-ket is hailed as the paramount concern. The atmosphere is so hostile in many sectors that some writers have seen the need to present a “defense” of a liberal arts education.1 While vocational training is an important tool for many, the liberal arts remain a cornerstone of the American educational system. |
