The Chronicle of Higher Education: Colloquy

COLLOQUY
THE QUESTION
RESPONSES
BACKGROUND

What is the definition of a "cult?" Who does the defining? Who selects and authorizes those who do the defining?

Are there "good" cults, or only "bad" cults?

What makes a cult "bad"?

This colloquy is an excellent example of another trek to nowhere though the PC wilderness!

-- Junius W. Peake, Monfort Distinguished Professor of Finance, Kenneth W. Monfort College of Business, University of Northern Colorado (posted 8/19, 3:09 p.m., E.D.T.)
