higher-education

Take the challenge of your life.Reach out to your goals.There is no limit to what you can achieve.

Think before you click. If people do not know you personally and if they cannot see you as you type, what you post online can be taken out of context if you are not careful in the way your message is delivered.

You start to live when you commit your life to cause higher than yourself. You must learn to depend on divine power for the fulfillment of a higher calling.

If only we were all better educated. If then, higher education would at last be a journey for skill and knowledge rather than for power and status.

It__ time to ask why [the United States] is the only country in the world where we permit our children to be saddled with tens _ sometimes hundreds _ of thousands of dollars of debt before they begin to earn a penny.

...the state of Virginia had turned down twenty-one thousand women for admission to state colleges in 1970 while not turning away a single man...

A PhD does not automatically denote wisdom. Merely perseverance.

Many contemporary critics of higher education similarly posit a Golden Age but no one knows when it was supposed to exist.

You have no idea how many men are spoiled by what is called education. For the most part, colleges are places where pebbles are polished and diamonds are dimmed. If Shakespeare had graduated at Oxford, he might have been a quibbling attorney, or a hypocritical parson.

They're so cold, these scholars!May lightning strike their foodso that their mouths learn howto eat fire!

If you are in a position where you can reach people, then use your platform to stand up for a cause. HINT: social media is a platform.

Freedom of Speech doesn't justify online bullying. Words have power, be careful how you use them.

If you are on social media, and you are not learning, not laughing, not being inspired or not networking, then you are using it wrong.

A definition of a term indicates its original meaning from the language the person reads, writes and speaks in daily life settings. However, an intellectual persons interpretation and perspective can modify its context so he or she can sound creative and compelling when he or she educates his or her audience by forming a connection with a particular vocabulary word scholars/ innovative thinkers would use specifically in a particular field of study.

[Professor Greene's] reaction to GAMAY, as published in the Yale Daily News, fairly took one's breath away. He fondled the word "fascist" as though he had come up with a Dead Sea Scroll vouchsafing the key word to the understanding of God and Man at Yale. In a few sentences he used the term thrice. "Mr. Buckley has done Yale a great service" (how I would tire of this pedestrian rhetorical device), "and he may well do the cause of liberal education in America an even greater service, by stating the fascist alternative to liberalism. This fascist thesis . . . This . . . pure fascism . . . What more could Hitler, Mussolini, or Stalin ask for . . . ?" (They asked for, and got, a great deal more.)What survives, from such stuff as this, is ne-plus-ultra relativism, idiot nihlism. "What is required," Professor Greene spoke, "is more, not less tolerance--not the tolerance of indifference, but the tolerance of honest respect for divergent convictions and the determination of all that such divergent opinions be heard without administrative censorship. I try my best in the classroom to expound and defend my faith, when it is relevant, as honestly and persuasively as I can. But I can do so only because many of my colleagues are expounding and defending their contrasting faiths, or skepticisms, as openly and honestly as I am mine."A professor of philosophy! Question: What is the 1) ethical, 2) philosophical, or 3) epistemological argument for requiring continued tolerance of ideas whose discrediting it is the purpose of education to effect? What ethical code (in the Bible? in Plato? Kant? Hume?) requires "honest respect" for any divergent conviction?

Campuses are bubbles, artificial environments that insulate students from the life of the competitive marketplace. The more exact truth is that our campuses offer students the privileges of liberty without the corresponding responsibilities.

College towns [are] all the same in that way; same burger, different wrapper.
