Abstract

["American Journal of Economics and Sociology, Volume 80, Issue 1, Page 53-77, January 2021. ", "\nAbstract\nThis article examines what colleges and universities have to do if they wish to remain relevant. Many students graduating college today lack critical thinking skills. One reason for this is that academic faculty themselves lack some important skills, which include: 1) an appreciation of uncertainty; 2) respect for other disciplines; and 3) an understanding of what true diversity is all about. All of these require humility, which is not valued enough in academe.\n"]
