HON 301: The University in Crisis: Find Scholarly Articles

Interlibrary Loan (ILL) attempts to fill gaps in the UK Libraries' collection. If the collection lacks items needed for research, University of Kentucky faculty, emeritus faculty, students, and staff may be able to obtain loans or reproductions of the articles needed for their research. The ILL staff will attempt to obtain the material from another library or document vendor. Three ILL departments are available to help UK Researchers.

You must write a research paper (15pp) on a topic related to current debates about the crisis of higher education (e.g., tuition, student debt, administrative bloat, diversity, sports, decline of humanities, poor student achievement, etc.).  Students must evaluate competing positions on these questions and defend their own position.
