Was Henry Kissinger fully correct when said:
"University politics are vicious precisely because the stakes are so small."
Not totally. The politics of academia are vicious, but the stakes are not at all "small". Note the exhortation bellow by Dr. Hunter of the University of Virginia to fellow Christians about the crucial significance of excellence in all areas of life, especially leadership. Our children (students) are the hope for such future leadership:
"The failure to encourage excellence in vocation in our time has fostered a culture of mediocrity in so many areas of vocation. . . . (Galatians 6:15) 'what matters is the new creation'. The new creation [Paul] speaks of ... [includes] the kingdom of God working in us and in the world; a different people and an alternative culture [from the secular Word] that is, nevertheless, integrated within the present culture. . . . that is genuinely alternative cannot emerge without faith presence in all areas of life. This will include networks ... of counter-leaders operating within the upper echelons of cultural production and social life generally. . . . critically important to both the renewal of the church and its engagement with the culture."
". . . . a Ph.D. has more symbolic [cultural] capital than a car mechanic; a member of the [NAS] National Academy of Sciences has more . . . than a high school science teacher; the winner of a Nobel Prize in literature has more . . . than a romance novelist. . . . the point . . . culture is not neutral in relation to power but a form of power. . . . a kind of power and influence . . . . as credibility, an authority one possesses which puts one in a position to be listened to and taken seriously . . . . the power to define [cultural] reality itself."
[EMPHASIS ADDED]TO CHANGE THE WORLD: The Irony, Tragedy, and Possibility of Christianity in the Late Modern World, 2010, Dr. James Davison Hunter, University of Virginia, Distinguished Professor of Religion, Culture, and Social Theory. Since 1995, Professor Hunter has served as the Director of the Institute for Advanced Studies in Culture, a university-based, interdisciplinary research center concerned with understanding contemporary cultural change and its implications for individuals, institutions, and society.
** Keep in mind, however, that a "high school science teacher" has the wonderful privilege of helping parents produce the Ph.D. member of the NAS who will have the cultural credibility to be "listened to", "taken seriously", and "the power to define cultural reality itself" - for God's glory and the blessings of His creation.
