All across the Middle East and North Africa people are rising up in an attempt to make big changes. In Wisconsin, where I make my home, protesters are converging on the state capitol in numbers not seen since the Vietnam War. And in the nation's capitol and in the state houses politicians are staring down the barrel of governmental bankruptcy.
Seems like a great time for a revolution in higher education!
And indeed there is such a revolution underway. The Free University Project is a new journalistic enterprise that aims to take the measure of that revolution and to act as champions for it. We invite interested people to join us in using our website and this blog to create a community of like-minded individuals and institutions.
If you've got ideas or want to submit a blog post of your own, post up in the comment section below. After all it's nothing less than the free marketplace of ideas and knowledge that is at issue.
