Universities must help shape the post-COVID-19 world - Ira Harkavy, Sjur Bergan, Tony Gallagher and Hilligje van’t Land, University World News

We contend that higher education must play a major role in helping to shape the post-COVID-19 world and do so by reshaping higher education itself. The post-COVID-19 world must be based on the values we cherish: democracy, human rights and the rule of law as well as social justice, inclusion and equity. Higher education can add momentum by renewing our commitment to our core values of academic freedom, institutional autonomy and engagement by students, faculty and staff, and re-emphasising the role of higher education institutions as societal actors for the public good.
