Do the humanities still matter?
That鈥檚 been the question in headlines about higher education lately. The New York Times weighed in last week, examining the 鈥渆xistential crisis鈥 facing these classic liberal arts programs nationwide. A big article in The New Yorker early in the year kicked off the serious hand-wringing, arguing that traditional liberal arts study has become the quaint province of a privileged elite, students who don鈥檛 require a return on their tuition investment and can afford to spend time on unremunerative pursuits. Next, as if to prove the point, over the summer the University of West Virginia said that in order to cut a yawning budget deficit it would cut a range of programs, from world languages to creative writing. Meanwhile, lower-profile announcements keep coming that smaller colleges facing enrollment challenges are eliminating less-popular majors, often in the humanities, to stay afloat.

I often say that the 91视频 Community is a family, and when I glance across this issue of 91视频 Now鈥攚hich really means that when I look across our campuses this month鈥攚hat I see is everyone in the 91视频 family coming together to celebrate the great things we鈥檙e accomplishing.
This year, I鈥檓 happy to report, it really feels like we鈥檝e turned a corner. As I see students on campus and run into faculty in hallways, as I chat with colleagues between meetings and hear from students in the class I teach each fall, I鈥檓 getting a different feeling than I have in some time. It鈥檚 a sense of cautious optimism. A sense that things are different. A sense that we鈥檙e all ready to put all the challenges and difficulties behind us, shake off the malaise of the past few years, and dive into something new.

In our partisan and polarized country, education has become disputed territory.
The news is filled with stories about battles and bans. About books that can鈥檛 be read, topics that can鈥檛 be covered, sensitivities that must be protected. In some parts of the country, curricula are being revised to ensure that American history is presented as only triumphant. Elsewhere, reading lists are being scanned to ensure that all depictions match with today鈥檚 mores.
