College campuses must not become places where truth is buried

At my university, we accept students as they are. But we certainly do not expect them to leave our institution as they entered. I often reflect on that simple premise as I watch them grow and mature, ultimately taking their places as informed citizens in a democratic and increasingly multicultural society. The developmental processes leading up to their point of departure form the bedrock of our existence. Thus, I am somewhat puzzled by a growing number of external social critics who argue that our higher education institutions are becoming “too liberal.” What exactly does that mean? I wonder?
