Definition of Liberal Arts:

How does the recent developments of internet redefine liberal arts education? How can higher education keep up and keep it fresh? (even though the idea of liberal arts education goes far back in tradition it should-in principal- live and breathe with social developments.)

How are student-faculty relationships facilitated?

In comparing the Value of Liberal Arts with its crtitique:

How are our values of education changing with the economy? Are there ways of incorporating the lofty ideas of liberal arts with a more grounded and practical element?

Is the idea of liberal arts “outdated”? How can it be revitalized?

Nussbaum:
Does education “prepare us for meaningful lives?” If so, what are the consequences of wittling this down?

How are resources becoming classified as liberal arts becomes less emphasized?
