Academic Questions

Aims & Scope

American higher education has been profoundly compromised in the past three decades.

Standards have been eroded, the curriculum has been debased, and research has been trivialized or distorted by ideology.

Yet the established voices of the academy often speak in tones that are self-congratulatory rather than self-critical.

Academic Questions utilizes the best of scholarly analysis to explore the conspicuous vices, as well as the virtues, of the contemporary university.

A journal dedicated to strengthening the integrity of scholarship and teaching, Academic Questions examines issues that arise from the interplay between politics, ideology, scholarship, and teaching in higher education.

Among the questions explored are the maintenance of scholarly standards, the quality and even-handedness of peer review, the preservation of intellectual tolerance and civility on campus and within academic associations, and the relationship between government and education.

A critique of the academy by academics themselves, Academic Questions upholds the traditions of humanism and intellectual freedom.

Academic Questions is the official journal of the National Association of Scholars.
