Make no mistake, Higher Ed must play a role in impeachment. Not as partisans. But as the context makers. The fact-checkers. The knowledge filters.
This is not just “politics.” Nor is it just for the elite. This is still our democracy too.
Not our job, you say?
What other institutions in America are built to provide this public service?
You won’t find this at your City Hall (too political). Or at the union halls (do they still have those?) Certainly, you won’t find it at the local malls.
But you might find it at your nearest college campus (even heaven forbid, the for profit ones).
Where else in your immediate area can people find history departments, sociology departments, journalism departments, political science departments and more that house the sheer firepower of knowledge that could lead a public in desperate need of context?
