...Greece, read Plato, or learn a foreign language. These are suggestions so obviously beneficial as to be immune from all but the most unhinged rants. Where Brooks stumbled is somewhere a large chunk of academia also seems to be stumbling: study abroad. The idea of “study abroad?? is similar to those tired suggestions of “interdisciplinary” courses or courses in the “sciences” that are often bandied about as a panacea for the ills of American higher education. I, like most people at Harvard, know numerous people...

...language requirements. Some type of “Moral Reasoning” component must be continued along with these other two requirements. (And unquestionably, other existing mandates of the Core—such as a “Foreign Cultures” course for those who do not study abroad??deserve careful consideration on a case-by-case basis as well.)By no means am I advocating that we preserve the existing Moral Reasoning requirement in its present configuration. Many of us are all too familiar with its limitations, but these structural inadequacies should not lead...
