President Trump signed an executive order on Thursday afternoon as a first step toward solving these problems.
The problems of higher education in this country are severe. Tuition has skyrocketed. Core departments have languished while Grievance Studies programs have flourished. Spending on students and faculty has stagnated while administrators hire staffs and raise their salaries. Students go into debt but find that their degrees mean little in the marketplace. Meanwhile, every week seems to bring news of a new instance of collegiate intolerance.
Administrators have been quick to say that they already respect the First Amendment. That’s absurd. The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education rates campus speech policies as compliant with First Amendment jurisprudence , questionable, depending on the interpretation of those implementing the policy , or facially inconsistent with the law no matter how interpreted .
For decades I taught a course called Contemporary Moral Problems, an introduction to ethics and political philosophy focusing on hot-button issues such as abortion, capital punishment, affirmative action, welfare, and immigration. It was evenly balanced, including readings on both sides of such questions. I can’t teach it anymore. A course including arguments against abortion? Immigration? Affirmative action? I can’t teach it anymore. It would generate a flurry of Bias Incident Reports.
