Why it matters: US colleges and universities are the intended participants in a US$4 million, two-university effort to build critical thinking and civil discourse into their classes.
NC State said Gary Comstock, one of its philosophy professors, is partnering with the University of Notre Dame to head the initiative.
According to NC State, the project carries a value of US$4 million.
NC State said the goal is to bring critical thinking and civil discourse into the courses taught by higher education institutions throughout the country.
NC State called the effort the first of its kind.
