Fighting for an Ambitious Vision of Public Higher Education in America

Leave a comment


Since the proposal became public knowledge in early August, many letters and op-eds have argued against it, and the protests of WVU faculty and students have gained wide public attention. On September 1, 2023, the university responded by pulling back on a small number of cuts.

As a leading voice in the humanities and social sciences, areas heavily represented in the programs targeted for reduction, ACLS encourages President E. Gordon Gee and the WVU Board of Governors to continue rethinking the plan and to work with the WVU faculty to provide what is good and right and equitable for WVU students and the people of West Virginia.

The administration describes its approach as an “academic transformation,” arguing that the academic departments and programs on the chopping block are attracting fewer numbers of degree-seeking students each year, thus losing tuition dollars and becoming unsustainable. State lawmakers recently approved a new higher education funding plan that benefits “degrees that lead to jobs.” These decisions rest on a short-sighted view of the value of education and research across a range of fields. A 2021 Association of American Colleges and Universities report that surveyed executives from a wide range of industries including technology, finance, and manufacturing revealed, in fact, that employers value liberal arts education.

The stewards of the university—the administration, the Board of Governors, and ultimately the legislature that votes on its budget—must adopt a broader perspective. They are duty-bound to protect the creation and circulation of knowledge for the public good in all its diverse aspects, across disciplines and interdisciplinary areas.

The value of study that deepens our understanding beyond the immediate interests of the market has been celebrated by Americans as different as George Washington, who as president advised Congress to invest in “science and literature,” and W.E.B. DuBois, who argued in 1902 that universities must educate for a world larger than the workplace.

ACLS calls on WVU and other universities who may be tempted to imitate the surface pragmatism of WVU’s approach to focus their energy and resources toward renewing the great tradition of education in the liberal arts and sciences for which the United States is known around the world. We celebrate the WVU faculty and students—some wearing red, paying homage to the miners’ strikes of the early twentieth century—who are leading the charge to remind citizens and legislators in West Virginia of the public research university’s responsibility to advance the good of the state and society beyond state borders.

DuBois saw efforts to reduce the goal of education to “material advancement” as a sinister bid to “dull the ambition and sicken the hearts of struggling human beings.” The gutting of our nation’s public universities must stop. We and many others are ready to help.

Strategic Radiology Adds 3rd Indiana Group, 80-Radiologist Summit Radiology

Leave a comment


Summit Radiology is the product of a merger in 1995 between a pair of private radiology practices formed in the 1960s. Over time, the practice has developed diversified reading expertise and capacity, with fellowship-trained radiologists providing the full spectrum of subspecialities, including musculoskeletal, cross-sectional imaging, neuroradiology, interventional neuroradiology, abdominal imaging, body imaging, MRI, vascular/interventional, pediatrics, and nuclear medicine.

“Our radiologists and employees strive to provide the highest possible standard of care to every patient in every hospital that we serve,” said Daniel Branam, MD, president, Summit Radiology. “In joining Strategic Radiology, we hope to find ways to reduce expenses and further strengthen our mission.”

Summit Radiology has built a sophisticated IT infrastructure, including PACS, distributed reading, and universal worklist, to support a complex distributed, subspecialized reading solution used to service its hospital partners. Part of that solution is an advanced IT support service.

Fort Wayne is located in northeastern Indiana, 18 miles west of the Ohio border and 50 miles south of the Michigan border, and is the second most populous city in Indiana after Indianapolis. It was an All-America City Award recipient in 2021.
