Ernest Boyer and Derek Bok were two of the most vocal critics of higher education who were also heavily involved with higher education. They basically argued that higher education institutions should work to solve social problems and create a more just society (Cohen & Kisker, 2010, p. 415). What evidence is there that institutions did or did not attempt to do this during the Consolidation Era? Were attempts more prevalent in certain types of institutions? Explain.
