Making the Most of Our Civilization
Response to Larry Mead
Peter Wood recognizes a role for beliefs, behavior patterns, and attitudes in disparate social outcomes, but takes issue with the way in which Mead deploys the term “culture.” Mead, says Wood, fails to recognize that cultures are amorphous and always in flux, with considerable variation among and within large cultural groupings, including within the Western tradition itself. “Cultures are important,” Wood writes about Mead, but “they are more con…
Will Excellence Survive
Mac Donald has long been at the forefront of efforts to document how bad ideas spread and affect the public, a focus she continues in this volume. Here she demonstrates that racial, gender, and sexual representation is now valued more highly than competence and excellence, not only in higher education but in medicine and performance arts such as opera and classical music
The Illusion of Institutional Neutrality
The necessity for colleges and universities to vigorously espouse the substantive ideals of truth, liberty, and citizenship makes institutional neutrality untenable in higher education. For this and several other reasons, writes Peter Wood, president of the National Association of Scholars, the NAS opposes institutional neutrality for college campuses
Fatores impulsionadores e scorecards para melhorar o controle da hipertensão arterial na atenção primária
Fundamentos. As doenças cardiovasculares (DCV) são as principais causas de morbimortalidade nas Américas, e a hipertensão arterial (HÁ) é o fator de risco modificável mais importante. Porém, as taxas de controle da HA continuam baixas, e a mortalidade por DCV está estagnada ou aumentando após décadas de redução contínua. Em 2016, a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) lançou o pacote de medidas técnicas HEARTS para melhorar o controle da HA. A Orga…
Factores impulsores y métodos de puntuación para mejorar el control de la hipertensión en la práctica clínica de la atención primaria
Antecedentes. Las enfermedades cardiovasculares (ECV) son la principal causa de morbilidad y mortalidad en la Región de las Américas y la hipertensión es el factor de riesgo modificable asociado más importante. Sin embargo, las tasas de control de la hipertensión siguen siendo bajas y la mortalidad por ECV está estancada o en aumento después de décadas de reducción continua. En el 2016, la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) presentó el paquet…

Earth Worms
“Climategate” has made global warming skepticism respectable. The release onto the web by a hacker or whistleblower of emails and 15,000 lines of computer code from the Climate Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia has changed the debate over global warming. Researchers at CRU and some of their collaborators elsewhere applied what CRU’s own programmers called “a VERY ARTIFICIAL correction for decline” in temperatures that, accordin…
Outward Bound
When the editors of AQ began to plan this issue, we thought we would focus it on the institutions that surround the university, in some cases claiming to “represent” higher education to the outside world, and in other cases imposing themselves on the academy. We had in mind accreditors, government agencies, and higher education associations. My own view is that scholars often underestimate the importance of those great grey entities, which often …
Racial Preferences Revisited
Books, Articles, and Items of Academic Interest
Michael Roth, the president of Wesleyan University, joins the throng of those who rise to the defense of the essentials in Beyond the University: Why Liberal Education Matters (Yale University Press, 2014). This is a book meant to vindicate the nonutilitarian value of education, which in Roth’s view is education “to teach students to liberate, animate, cooperate, and instigate.” Roth is a historian and a humanist as well as president of one of th…
Homicides in Higher Education
This essay on the ethical mission of the university explores extremes of anti-social behavior, visiting numerous crime scenes before concluding that contemporary higher education has lost the capacity—and even the language—for taking character development seriously. In his attempt to determine whether coincidently traditional-liberationist-diversiphilic-apathetic colleges can morally improve their charges, Peter Wood collects a wrenching compendi…

Winters of Discontent
Milton Keynes is paradigmatic. This fact is well attested by its comic status. This modem city occupies a position not dissimilar, at least in its preeminence, to that of Wigan in an earlier epoch of comedy. Although there the similarity ends. Wigan and its northern siblings were the butt of southern jokes. Provincial, unsophisticated, their directness another's rudeness, their authenticity another's vulgarity, they were perceived along with the …
