I like how the article claims that the humanities have a better view of the meaning of life... "And in the process it has badly weakened the humanities, the disciplines with the oldest and deepest connection to this question" Why does 'oldest' == 'best'? And how can he claim 'deepest'? Cosmology or math could certainly be reasonable contenders for this claim. This article is flawed - college shouldn't exist to answer the 'meaning of life question' - it teaches people to be better learners, and to follow their interests. But perhaps I missed something - I kind of stopped reading at that point.
