Henry Giroux Quotes About Higher Education

• They're rights that should be endemic to any democracy. The right to a free quality education, from elementary school right through higher education. The right to have a decent social wage. The right to a decent job. Political rights; the right to vote. These are all parts of the social contract, from the New Deal onwards, that never went far enough.

• Esa generación tiene que luchar realmente por un nuevo lenguaje político, movimientos sociales y alianzas con estudiantes de otros países.

• Los rectores universitarios deberían defender en voz alta y enérgica la universidad como un bien social, esencial para la cultura democrática y la economía de una nación. Deberían criticar la priorización de los fondos para gastos militares y penitenciarios sobre los fondos para la educación superior. Y este argumento debería esgrimirse como defensa de la educación, como un bien público crucial, y debería tomarse en serio. Pero no están haciendo estos argumentos.

• A medida que las humanidades y las artes liberales se reducen, privatizan y mercantilizan, la enseñanza superior se encuentra atrapada en la paradoja de afirmar que invierte en el futuro de los jóvenes mientras les ofrece pocos apoyos intelectuales, cívicos y morales.

• What is distinctive about the U.S. is that higher education is under attack not because it is failing but because it is public. It is now considered dangerous because it has the potential to function as a site where a culture of questioning can operate, the imagination can blossom, and difficult questions can be openly debated and critically engaged.

• The demise of higher education as a public good is also evident in light of the election of a number of right-wing politicians who are cutting funds for state universities and doing everything they can to turn them in training centers to fill the needs of corporations. This new and intense attack on both the social state and higher education completely undermines the public nature of what education is all about.

• The propensity to avoid moral considerations was producing not simply a politically illiterate and authoritarian society, but one that was increasingly saturated in violence and a culture of cruelty. Needless to say, all of these forces intensified the increasing militarization and corporatization of higher education, along with the privatizing of everyday life.

• Many university presidents assume the language and behavior of CEOs and in doing so they are completely reneging on the public mission of the universities. The state is radically defunding public universities and university presidents, for the most part, rather than defending higher education as a public good, are trying to privatize their institutions in order to remove them from the political control of state governments. This is not a worthy or productive strategy.

• If the government were to invest that money in higher education and public services, these would be far better investments. But administrators and academics in the U.S. for the most part don't make these arguments; instead they have retreated from defending the university as a citadel of public values and in doing so have abdicated any sense of social responsibility to the idea of the university as a site of inspired by the search for truth, justice, freedom, and dignity.
