Moral University

Maurice R. Berube is Eminent Scholar Emeritus at Old Dominion University. Clair T. Berube is assistant professor in the Hampton University College of Education and Continuing Studies.

Higher Education is under siege by a number of forces ranging from corporate and military interests to those who want to remove any vestige of democratic values from the academy. The Moral University provides a robust history, set of critical narratives, and engaging arguments against these dangerous postions. It also offers readers one of the best arguments we have as to why matters of ethics, public values, and social responsibility are integral to how we both define the university and create the formative educational culture necessary for any viable notion of democracy. This is a much needed book and should be read by everyone concerned not just with higher education but with democratic values and an aspiring democracy.
