Of note in his response to my letter are the following claims: "I
find it hard to see a direct causal link between the rise of
corporations and the fall of the liberal arts in the university....
The humanities are not dying because the business schools are
flourishing: the demise of the humanities is self-inflicted.
He goes on to say, "The pursuit of profits is in itself an innocent
and even wholesome activity, one as old as civilization itself."
I'm thinking about a response. Got one? Send it to the Witherspoon Institute.
