Our Mission

The Society for Values in Higher Education is a fellowship of teachers and others who care deeply about ethical issues—such as integrity, diversity, social justice and civic responsibility—facing higher education and the wider society. We believe that such values call for study, reflection, discussion, and action. We pursue these activities through publications, projects, regional gatherings, and an annual national meeting.

­The Society for Values in Higher Education has a long and rich history. Our mission distinguishes us as an organization that combines an academic and intellectual orientation with a genuine concern for issues of religious diversity, social justice, and democratic principles (www.svhe.org/node/1).­ Through various activities, publications, and our Fellows Meetings, the Society has provided intellectual nourishment and fellowship for ­its members and forwarded the aims of liberal education in the United States.

The Society, however, is at a crossroads.
