No college and no society can survive solely on the narrow self-interest of each individual. Somebody has to sacrifice some of his own interests for the greater good of the institution or society serving others. "Educators" have decided, it's the tuition paying student that will have to pay the sacrifice of quality education to enable the professors to pursue research interests...and, of course, society pays as well when it must integrate poorly educated university graduates.

We are also living in a free society without the faith that built that society -- and without the conviction and dedication needed to sustain it.Sowell at his best.

Students can graduate from some of the most prestigious colleges in the land without a clue as to what the Second World War or the Cold War was about. At Harvard, chances are nine out of ten that such uninformed students can graduate with honors.That's why, when National Review came out with it's list of top colleges, it also listed those colleges which are now in the "Academic Gulag", and Harvard was one of them for precisely the reason mentioned by Dr. Sowell.
