This book considers the ethical basis of fundamental university
policies with special emphasis on how issues of community and
diversity influence education. Students, faculty and administrators
must seek to maintain a sense of community as diversity
increasingly characterises university campuses. This raises four
central questions which are addressed in this volume: . What should
the aims of universities be, given their changed demography? How
should university curricula reflect multicultural society? Does the
new environment require special treatment of campus speech? What
role should affirmative action play in promoting diversity or
community in the academy? The shared premise of these essays,
presented from a variety of perspectives, is that university
administrators, teachers and academic ethicists will all benefit
from examining such issues together. The contributors approach
academic ethics from very diverse institutional roles and
ideological positions, and this provides a broad and provocative
basis for classroom and institutional discussion of the aims of the
university, the curriculum, campus speech and affirmative action.
These essays will help to give pluralism meaning and establish the
common purpose and community of good will that make academic
discourse possible.
