← Previous Post: No, No, Annette. | Next Post: “To think an ethics course is going to make ethical students is living in a dream world. I would be most suspicious of anybody who makes straight A’s in Ethics. If you want more ethical people, pass laws that can be enforced and enforce those laws.

That is my motivation to be ethical.” →

This is an example of the corrosive skepticism undermining the American university’s greatest asset.
