Three Questions for the Multiculturalism Debate.

Yarbrough, Larry

Change, v24 n1 p64-69 Jan-Feb 1992

The debate over political correctness and cultural diversity in U.S. higher education is examined, and three basic questions are raised: who is to be taught?, what is to be taught?, and who will teach it?. Higher education's contribution to social change is seen to be its ability to discuss issues with openness, candor, and reason. (DB)
