One of the interesting things i have noticed about this app so far is I see far less data or links to studies. I largely only see people posting platitudes. As a result, I do not find it very intellectually engaging.

One of the fascinating ways that higher education distorts American moral life is by its focus on only two virtues--justice and equity. For example, in the Assoc. for the Study of Higher Ed program, equity receives 50 mentions and justice 21. "Ethics" is in one presentation as well as "generosity."
