NAS has posted three articles from the forthcoming fall issue of Academic Questions at NAS.org. They are:
- How Scholarships Morphed into Financial Aid by Jackson Toby Scholarships should be based on merit, not need, argues Toby in his latest book, The Lowering of Higher Education in America.
- The Glut of Academic Publishing: A Call for a New Culture by Stanley W. Trimble, Wayne W. Grody, Bill McKelvey, and Mohamed Gad-el-Hak Too much publishing of too little substance wastes scholars' time, breeds cynicism, and hinders true academic enterprise.
- Scoping Out the International Spy Museum by Ronald Radosh The International Spy Museum presents an often one-sided perspective on the Cold War and propagates the popular idea that McCarthyism was worse than Soviet crimes against humanity.
Other articles from this special issue on "Good Ideas, Bad Ideas" are available at SpringerLink.com (subscription required). For a free subscription to Academic Questions, become an NAS member.
