Some of my own material:
This brief history of Jews and higher education was a talk I gave at the first Consultation on Emerging Jewish Adulthood (www.jewishadulthood.org) in June 2008.
“Jewish Higher Education in America,” a paper that brings three Jewish thinkers (Hirsch, Rosenszweig and Kaplan) into dialogue with the history of American higher education.
“Is Education Good for the Jews:” Source sheet.
“A Theology of Questions,” an essay on the lost Big Questions of higher education.
A few good articles to read on the historical question of Jews in higher education:
College Youth and the Future of Judaism(1955)
Abraham Lavander, Studies of Jewish College Students (1977)
Yitz Greenberg: Jewish survival and the college campus (1968)
