Mintz is a history professor who has opined on nursing (https://thefora.org/index.php?topic=1584.0) and on college career services (https://thefora.org/index.php?topic=1595.0) is back with the assertion that liberal education really should be experiential learning (https://insidehighered.com/blogs/higher-ed-gamma/designing-future-liberal-education).


It's amazing the lengths to which Mintz keeps going to justify retaining the label of 'liberal arts education' as the typical college education in the face of all evidence instead of letting a good liberal arts education be one of the college experiences, albeit not the norm.

Inset eyeroll here. WTH does he even mean by a" liberal education"?

Wahoo Redux

Come, fill the Cup, and in the fire of Spring
Your Winter-garment of Repentance fling:
The Bird of Time has but a little way
To flutter--and the Bird is on the Wing.
