Sandel’s teaching in the edX “Justice” course was criticized by philosophy professors at San Jose State University. The Philosophy Department at San Jose State University condemned Harvard government professor Michael J. Sandel’s teaching of the edX course ER22x: “Justice” in an open letter sent this week. “We regard such courses as a serious compromise of quality of education and, ironically for a social justice course, a case of social injustice,” the letter read. As edX approaches the first anniversary of its founding, it has received criticism from faculty members at several institutions of higher learning across the country.
