Descriere
An all-star cast of philosophical thinkers about higher education, more than half women, offers new essays exploring major ethical problems facing American higher education today. Among the crucial topics discussed are free speech on campus, challenges to the tenure system, the proliferation of adjunct faculty, historical injustices, affirmative action, admission policies, opportunities for applicants from the working-class, faculty and administrative responsibilities, student life, threats to privacy, treatment of those with disabilities, the impact of technology on teaching and learning, curricular controversies, the impact of unions, philanthropy, sports and intercollegiate athletics, and the aims of liberal education. The authors are leading researchers and teachers, many with extensive administrative experience, and they are members of the faculties at public and private institutions throughout the country. The essays are jargon-free and address the most pressing problems for higher education, weigh alternative policies, and assess future prospects for overcoming present challenges. Philosopher, scholar, teacher, and novelist Rebecca Newberger Goldstein provides a foreword to this unique collection.

Recenzii
A timely and provocative anthology by leading philosophers, created by an editor with a life-long interest in good teaching and ethical administration in higher education.
Steven Cahn is a giant when it comes to academic ethics. This is a must-read for everyone in academe.
Academic Ethics Today is an outstanding collection of 31 thought provoking new essays by leading philosophers. The chapters address a broad range of moral questions concerning academic life, from the nature of academic freedom and professors' responsibilities to the role of administrators and the social mission of the university. The volume is arranged in 14 topical sections, allowing readers to access multiple perspectives on each theme. This collection is essential for anyone working in academia.
This is a valuable addition to the growing body of work on the ethical dimensions of higher education. As universities are subjected to moral scrutiny from all points on the political spectrum, its wide-ranging chapters offer models of deeply informed and ethically astute analysis from which we can all learn.
Steven Cahn has done a masterful job bringing together diverse and insightful scholars to examine important moral considerations in higher education. From admissions and athletics to technology and tenure, no ethically controversial issue for colleges and universities is off limits. Too often analyses of higher education - and even ethics - are centered on perspectives from the social sciences to the exclusion of the humanities. This volume bucks that trend and importantly centers philosophical thinking; chapter authors lay out astute arguments and key implications for ethical decision-making by campus leaders. Each timely issue is considered in a nuanced way, accessible and relevant to students, professors, and academic leaders alike.
Kudos to Steven Cahn for assembling this important and timely collection. The essays, written by a first rate set of authors, take on pressing moral issues facing universities and their students and faculties with clarity, insight, and a fair measure of audacity. The book is full of thoughtful and challenging arguments. It should be of interest to anyone involved in university life.
How do active anti-racism and anti-bias programs fit with free-speech protection? Can a series of blog posts constitute a legitimate part of a tenure case? Do academic administrators often seem to be lying or otherwise unduly circumspect? These are just a few of the topics addressed by the exceptionally thought-provoking, highly readable, philosophical essays in this important and timely volume.
