SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Drawn from a symposium jointly sponsored by the Educational Leadership Program and the American Council of Learned Societies, this work looks at the requirements of liberal education for the next century and the strategies of getting there. Rethinking Liberal Education proposes better ways of connecting the curriculum and organization of liberal art colleges with today's challenging economic and social realities. The authors push for greater flexibility in the organizational structure of academic departments, and argue that faculty should play a greater role in the hard discussions that shape their institutions.
