Getting At The Truth

Universities should be leading the charge to seek out the truth, but as John McMurtry declares in this piece, the academy is falling short.

An excerpt:

Are universities now deprived of their bearings of truth and moral compass? Not at all. Their instituted objectives of “advancing learning and disseminating knowledge” and “the betterment of society” remain the academy’s given common ground and direction. They are the vocation of the university and of human civilization itself. But living up to them is what has been lacking.
