An Ethical Education Résumé

An Ethical Education: Community and Morality in the Multicultural University Mortimer Sellers

This book considers the ethical basis of fundamental university policies with special emphasis on how issues of community and diversity influence education. The authors raise four central questions in this volume:> What should the aims of universities be, given their changed demography?> How should university curricula reflect multicultural society?> Does the new environment require special treatment of campus speech?> What role should affirmative action play in promoting diversity or community in the academy?

An Ethical Education Avis

Some of the essays are very good indeed in exploring precisely what pluralism means within the context of higher education, and they demonstrate that this is a difficult notion to fit into the liberal notion of the university ... British readers will find much of relevance both to them and to their own institutions, and there is some stimulating analysis in this collection. The Lecturer - NATFE
