As Kronholz's snarky article illustrates, academia hates diversity of opinion, characterized as allowing "dissenting views". It also exposes as a fraud the liberal's diversity argument as simply a high-minded sounding means of helping Democrat Party core constituencies.

I like the idea of Universities and Colleges being held accountable for graduation rates. You'ld have to put in some sort of test so that the grades are not inflated but I'd like to see them LOSE money for every x% of people who fail to graduate.

I wish the NCAA would pull two scholorships for every one 'student athlete' who fails to graduate when their eligability expires.

As a conservative who teaches at a pretty liberal campus, I'm concerned when the government gets involved. First, I've seen enough laws of "unintended effects" to know that rules and regulations are bent by those in power on campus to the detriment of the rest of us; and second, I don't think change will come through this approach anyway.

I don't know HOW it will come, only I have faith that it will come. Remember that 20 years ago, no one foresaw the end of the MSM.
