“Handwringing about political apathy is
as old as democracy itself. As early as
425 BC, the playwright Aristophanes
ridiculed his fellow Athenians for
gossiping in the market instead of
voting. In more recent decades, calls
Participation 2011 Democracy SU
for greater civic engagement as a
democratic cure-all have met with
widespread agreement. But how
realistic--or helpful--is it to expect
citizens to devote more attention and
energy to politics?”
“In Beyond the Ivory Tower, former
Harvard University President Derek Bok
examines the complex ethical and
social issues facing modern universities.
Bok recommends new strategies to
help academic institutions to serve
society while fulfilling their primary
mission of teaching and research. The
book then explores the "basic
academic values" of academic freedom,
Higher Education 1982 autonomy, and neutrality and how they SU
affect a university's ability to respond
to larger societal issues. Bok believes
that universities have a responsibility to
address public needs and assist in
solving social problems; he explains
that service through academic means
can be performed in conjunction with
the university's mission to promote
quality and ethical teaching and
research.”
