Here is an article by Stanley Fish called ‘Professor, Do Your Job’ which essentially argues that colleges should do only professional instruction, that universities should have nothing to do with educating moral and civic capacities.
Here is a rebuttal piece, arguing that while Fish’s annoyance at the peddling of political ideology from the lectern is justified, he goes too far. One cannot take the moral and social significance out of education.
