CONCORD AREA HUMANISTS presents: The Improbable History of U.S. Higher Education, Sol Gittleman, PhD
Hardly a day passes without criticism of American higher education. Supreme Court decisions on admissions and student debt, ideological attacks on faculty and curriculum, anxiety about the cost of college, and the fake athletic admissions scandals have all taken their toll. But there’s another side to this story. America has created, mostly by accident, a higher education enterprise unlike any in the world with a $35B trade surplus. In the years after WW II, American faculty have dominated in Nobel Prizes, while millions of international students attend American universities. We have become—and continue to be—the envy of the world despite recent hostility in our own country. How did this happen?
