Abstract

Just before the newest decade of the 21st century, ethical and moral issues, some flagrant such as a nationwide admissions scandal and some such as the removal of a Confederate statue at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, reverberate with national moral divisiveness and angst. While these and other moral and ethical dilemma seem to be increasing, this chapter looks both backward and forward through the academic literature, by relying heavily on popular media, to determine whether the proverbial moral high ground expected of and attributed to higher education for centuries is actually just moral alchemy.
