A Post-Sept. 11 Academic World
So much has changed since Sept. 11, 2001. What we talk about and what we worry about were forever changed after the terrorist attacks.
We live with Sept. 11 every day — when we go through airports, there’s heightened security; the massive power outages that blacked out Cleveland to New York recently had commuters in the New York City subways fearing the worst. Was this another terrorist attack many wondered? But the current situation in Iraq is the obvious daily reminder that it is no longer “business as usual” in the United States.
We didn’t plan to have a Sept. 11th edition, but as scheduling would have it, this is our issue date. We know how living in a post-Sept. 11 environment has affected our personal lives, but how does it continue to affect the higher education community?
