Minding the Campus has launched a new column featuring translated articles from the Observatory of University Ethics, a collective of volunteer academics led by Xavier-Laurent Salvador, a faculty member at the Sorbonne. This collaboration brings a valuable international perspective to our site, offering insights into global higher education issues seen through a French lens, with contributions from scholars worldwide.

The Observatory of University Ethics is committed to fostering a society enriched by independent, critical thought. By resisting intellectual conformity and promoting autonomous reflection, aligning with Minding the Campus’s mission to defend free inquiry and intellectual diversity. As they put it:
Many intellectuals and philosophers, like us, have defended this quest for independent thought, opposing intellectual conformisms. The goal is always to prevent the degradation of the human creative spirit and to preserve our capacity to understand and sublimate the world around us. It is up to us to continually inform ourselves and to make the most of the talents we have been given, because it is by being enlightened that our society can truly become virtuous.

These articles, which address some of the most pressing issues in education today, will offer Minding the Campus readers thought-provoking insights and answers to questions raised by the rise of “wokeness” in public discourse. We will feature these pieces in our international column, Minding the World, weekly, providing our audience with important perspectives that expand beyond the Anglophone world.
