knowledge of the development of democratic ideas and values in
relation to diversity. The report provides a broad societal analysis

and general readers as well as campus groups. (1995/41pp)

Learning and the Arts of Connection for the New Academy
Explores goals for liberal learning in a diverse democracy and argues
that the liberal arts of the future will include ways of relating
and learning across difference. Explains that the "new academy"

of disciplines, new modes of teaching and assessment, and new forms
of scholarship - all developed in order to move beyond historically
inequitable divisions. Written for faculty members and curriculum
committees, this report offers an important new vision for liberal
education at the turn of the century. (1995/41pp)
