Michael Crow is a consummate Technocrat who has created a new kind of educational experience at ASU, one that is measured by its social impact rather than traditional statistics like awards or intellectual rigor.
If the logical end of Progressivism is total insanity, then we are very close to or at the end on most college campuses. The United Nations uses its SDG's to incessantly push for 'inclusiveness and equality for every person everywhere'. Be careful what you wish for.
Pope Francis called on global leaders to join in on May 14, 2020 to sign a new Global Compact on Education that will lead to a 'New Humanism'. Channeling Hillary Clintons book, It Take a Village, he wants to 'educate' all young people into becoming global citizens.

When home schooling fails to teach the same propaganda, the state moves to force them back into public schools. Such persecution of home school parents is seen in virtually every nation on earth.
When the UN SDGs promise "lifelong learning experiences", it means you will have to reinvent yourself multiple times in your lifetime in order to stay working. Your alternative will be to fall into a new class cynically called the "unemployables".
