The Democratic Mission of Higher Education: A Review Essay
PETER LEVINE reviews three recent books that address controversies about free speech on college campuses: The Channels of Student Activism by Amy J. Binder and Jeffrey L. Kidder, Cancel Wars by Sigal-Ben Porath, and What Universities Owe Democracy by Ronald J. Daniels. Levine finds valuable arguments and recommendations in all three books but argues that democratic education must be available to all and that prestigious universities have limited potential for strengthening democracy.
