The Commission was co-chaired by
Richard Brodhead and John Rowe. Rowe is the retired chairman of Exelon
Corporation, who has contributed a lot of time, attention, and money to
promoting charter schools. Brodhead is the president of Duke
University and I suppose such an established figure that, at least in the eyes
of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, he has lived down his infamous
behavior during the Duke lacrosse affair. Perhaps in polite company that
shouldn't be mentioned, but I confess I was astonished to see him put forward
as the primary academic figure behind this report. If we are to make the
case for the humanities as the ennobling part of higher education, might it be
better to do so under the symbolic leadership of someone who has modeled
courage, temperance, and faithfulness to the actual ideals of disinterested
judgment?
