A healthy society needs maggots in the cheese

Article Abstract:

Universities in the United Kingdom need to rethink their purpose if they are not to become little more than super-polytechnics that simply train people for a job. The increasing tendency for universities to value the sciences and technologies more than the humanities leaves them in danger of turning out students who are incapable of considering the relationship between what they do and the society they exist within.

They turned on, tuned in but did not drop out

Article Abstract:

Interviews with people who were student radicals in the 1960s reveal how they perceived the time they were students and what they think of the situation faced by students today. Students of the 1960s believe that today's students are more conformist than they were, but that this is not all the fault of the students as they have to deal with levels of debt and government intervention that were unknown in the 1960s.
