The Graveyard of the American Dream.
Swanson, Gordon I.
Phi Delta Kappan, v69 n8 p603-04 Apr 1988
Criticizes the 1987 National Endowment for the Humanities report for blaming "vocationalism" for declining humanities enrollments in colleges. Unlike other disciplines, humanities leaders seem unwilling to seek clients or to engage in self-examination. What's needed is a renaissance of educational populism, or a repackaging of the humanities that increases their accessibility to everyone. (MLH)
