Do the humanities still matter?
That’s been the question in headlines about higher education lately. The New York Times weighed in last week, examining the “existential crisis” facing these classic liberal arts programs nationwide. A big article in The New Yorker early in the year kicked off the serious hand-wringing, arguing that traditional liberal arts study has become the quaint province of a privileged elite, students who don’t require a return on their tuition investment and can afford to spend time on unremunerative pursuits. Next, as if to prove the point, over the summer the University of West Virginia said that in order to cut a yawning budget deficit it would cut a range of programs, from world languages to creative writing. Meanwhile, lower-profile announcements keep coming that smaller colleges facing enrollment challenges are eliminating less-popular majors, often in the humanities, to stay afloat.
“This is the nightmare scenario that to millions of Americans is unfathomable but realistically possible,” Bennett Gershman, a former New York prosecutor and law professor at Pace University, told Salon. “It is also the scenario that millions of Americans look forward to with glee and the opportunity for retribution against the enemies of Trump.” Ultimately, the Supreme Court will “need to step up and prevent Trump’s plot to abuse his power,” Gershman said. Invoking the insurrection act and the ex-president’s plan to punish critics is “obviously unconstitutional.”

I recently had the incredible pleasure of watching a short film that was produced by a group of students at Pace University through a program called PaceDocs (including my friend Jerry McKinstry, Assistant Vice President of Public Affairs at Pace and, in this case, adult student, who introduced me to the film). The documentary For the Love of Food showcased the slow food movement – farm to table – in France and in Westchester. It makes the case for sustainability, and slow cooking and dining. The experience of watching this film, which showcases the most delectable ingredients and results, was sheer pleasure to the eyes, as well as my palette (well, in my imagination).
