Check out Louis Menand's fascinating piece in @NewYorker on the fate of academic freedom, shouting out @nickdirks timely new book City of Intellect: The Uses and Abuses of the University newyorker.com/magazine/2024/…
We learn “engaged in deep listening &in trying to think for ourselves in the company of others…being a student..means being open to others..to expand one’s thinking, to enhance one’s capacities for appreciation, for empathy &for civic participation” @TIME time.com/6969851/academ…
“When you are set up in Washington by that kind of interrogation...effectively using McCarthyite tactics, you cannot articulate the principles of academic freedom and not be condemned,”@NYASciences President/former Berkeley Chancellor @nickdirks to @AJack tinyurl.com/388m5u28
Opinion: Faculty-administrator distrust is making US universities ungovernable We must rethink higher education’s intellectual mission in terms that transcend Manichaean critiques of the neoliberal university, says @nickdirks Read more: bit.ly/3QCPZJt

Reminder: "higher ed should not be focused on.. presidential answers to MAGA warriors..This amounts to fiddling..when flames threaten to engulf the republic. We must affirm the core principles of civic education &take specific actions to defend democracy" salon.com/2023/12/12/hig…

@reidhoffman @NYASciences @nickdirks This book sounds like a fascinating exploration of the relationship between universities and the changing world. Looking forward to gaining new insights from City of Intellect!
@reidhoffman @NYASciences @nickdirks Universities play a crucial role in shaping our society. @nickdirks' book, City of Intellect, offers valuable insights on the need for universities to adapt to our evolving world. A must-read for anyone interested in the future of higher education.
Thanks @reidhoffman
In City of Intellect, my friend @nickdirks gives us a much needed look into this moment of crisis for universities. Drawing from his academic career and historic context, Nick offers practical ways universities can evolve. You can order it here: cambridge.org/core/books/cit…
