Opinion
The Violence of Forgetting
When ignorance and power join forces, history itself can be erased.
"H.G.:
Public universities across the globe are under attack not because they
are failing, but because they are they are considered discretionary —
unlike K-12 education for which funding is largely compulsory. The
withdrawal of financial support has initiated a number of unsavory
responses: Universities have felt compelled to turn towards corporate
management models. They have effectively hobbled academic freedom by
employing more precarious part-time instead of full-time faculty, and
they increasingly treat students as consumers to be seduced by various
campus gimmicks while burying the majority in debt.
My
critique of what I have called “gated intellectuals” responds to these
troubling trends by pointing to an increasingly isolated and privileged
full-time faculty who believe that higher education still occupies the
rarefied, otherworldly space of disinterested intellectualism of
Cardinal Newman’s 19th century, and who defend their own indifference to
social issues through appeals to professionalism or by condemning as
politicized those academics who grapple with larger social issues. Some
academics have gone so far as to suggest that criticizing the university
is tantamount to destroying it. There is a type of intellectual
violence at work here that ignores and often disparages the civic
function of education while forgetting Hannah Arendt’s incisive
admonition that “education is the point at which we decide whether we
love the world enough to assume responsibility for it.”
Supported
by powerful conservative foundations and awash in grants from the
defense and intelligence agencies, such gated intellectuals appear to
have forgotten that in a democracy it is crucial to defend the
university as a crucial democratic public sphere. This is not to suggest
that they are silent. On the contrary, they provide the intellectual
armory for war, the analytical supports for gun ownership, and lend
legitimacy to a host of other policies that lead to everyday forms of
structural violence and poverty. Not only have they succumbed to
official power, they collude with it."
The rest is prescriptive.
The Upshot
Would America Have Fewer Missing Workers if It Were More Like France?
Fewer prime-age American men are in the labor force than in many other advanced countries, a possible downside of a flexible U.S. job market.If the workers do not have the power to negotiate wages they will be paid only enough to fill the necessary positions at a level of skill.
The short answer is yes.
