Liberal universities in America—which means most universities—are sowing the seeds of their own destruction by straying from the vision, mission, and core principles of higher education.

 

Economist and college professor, Walter Williams, puts it this way: “Many of the nation’s colleges and universities have become cesspools of indoctrination, intolerance, academic dishonesty, and an ‘enlightened’ form of racism.” Admittedly these are strong words, but if anything they understate the current situation in American colleges and universities.

 

To understand how far colleges and universities have strayed from their visions, missions, and core principles, consider this quote from David Horowitz concerning the purpose of higher education: “The central purposes of a University are the pursuit of truth, the discovery of new knowledge through scholarship and research, the study and reasoned criticism of intellectual and cultural traditions, the teaching and general development of students to help them become creative individuals and productive citizens of a pluralistic democracy, and the transmission of knowledge and learning to a society at large. Free inquiry and free speech within the academic community are indispensable to the achievement of these goals.” The last line in this quote summarizes where universities have strayed. Free inquiry and free speech have been replaced by indoctrination, thought control, and the suppression of opinions that do not comport with liberal orthodoxy.
