In the Chronicle for Higher Education, AHA executive director Jim Grossman disputes unfounded allegations that AHA and other scholarly societies have “ruined general education.” “As I noted in my column on the AEI, at the American Historical Association we don’t merely assume; we do our research before we speak,” Grossman wrote. “We work, and speak, as historians fulfilling the mandate from our Congressional charter: ‘the promotion of historical studies.’ That includes general education.”
