Abstract

Current political, social, and economic turbulence has brought about a resurgence of attention to essential principles and values needed for higher education to flourish. However, the threats and mistrust faced by higher education today require a response that goes beyond the promotion of traditional operational values, such as academic freedom and institutional autonomy, to focus also on the values that drive higher education’s mission and purposes.
