Assume that "true liberal arts education" and "university education" as a multi-part series covering 8 years of education.
I would say that we should start from 9th grade, and work up from there, all the way to University "Masters".
As a Chinese, I would want a collection for my people, and I hope that you show do it for your people as well.
So for certain parts of the book list, it should be ethnically agnostic, covering most of the physical/political sciences.
While for other parts, East Asians and Europeans should have a separate collection for the humanities.
