    HIGHER EDUCATION EXCHANGE 2019 Leadership and Democracy Articles Maura Casey Michaela Grenier Matthew R. Johnson William V. Muse and Carol Farquhar Nugent Mark Wilson Interviews Dennis Donovan and Harry C. Boyte Katrina S. Rogers and Keith Melville Afterword David Mathews Editors: Derek W. M. Barker and Alex Lovit Managing Editor: Joey Easton Proofreader: Ellen Dawson-Witt Formatting: Long’s Graphic Design, Inc. The Higher Education Exchange is founded on a thought articulated by Thomas Jefferson in 1820: I know no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. In the tradition of Jefferson, the Higher Education Exchange agrees that a central goal of higher education is to help make democracy possible by preparing citizens for public life. The Higher Education Exchange is part of a movement to strengthen higher education’s democratic mission and foster a more democratic culture throughout American society. Working in this tradition, the Higher Education Exchange publishes case studies, analyses, news, and ideas about efforts within higher education to develop more democratic societies. The Kettering Foundation is a nonprofit operating foundation, chartered in 1927, that does not make grants but welcomes partnerships with other institutions (or groups of institutions) and individuals who are actively working on problems of communities, governing, politics, and edu- cation. The interpretations and conclusions contained in the Higher Education Exchange, unless expressly stated to the contrary, represent the views of the author or authors and not necessarily those of the foundation, its trustees, or officers.
