A Reader's Reaction to:
Educational Challenges in Homeland Security and Emergency Management by Robert McCreight.

Abstract

This response to Robert McCreight argues that the discourse on homeland security curriculum has narrowly viewed education as merely a vocational stepping stone to prepare students for a specific profession. This article argues that we need to focus on the civic mission of higher education. A primary mission of homeland security education should be to develop leaders with a public service ethos and citizens that embody civic virtues.
