Americans at the Gates

In his latest bit for the New York Times, Stanley Fish argues, again, that "higher education, properly understood, is distinguished by the absence of a direct and designed relationship between its activities and measurable effects in the world." He praises the "determined inutility" that characterizes his ideal relationship to the humanities and bemoans the rise of the adjuncts all around him.

To sum up, Stanley Fish is afraid that his era is over.

I'm afraid he's right.

Poor adjuncts.
