I would not want to be a student on a college campus today. The university campus is the closest thing we have to a fiefdom in what is left of 21st Century Western civilization. Violations of free speech and student due process have hit epidemic proportions. Contrary to popular opinion, the professors with tenure are not the principal problem. It is the administrators with qualified immunity.
They are gods. They are untouchable. They thrive in ideological echo chambers where they are shielded from internal criticism. Any hope of reform must come from outside the walls of the institution.
Today, I begin a two part series examining the problem on a mid-sized public university campus.
Please read this series carefully. It takes the form of two letters – real letters sent to a real college administrator. Letter one explains the nature of (some) of the problems students face. Letter two will show why universities cannot be trusted to address them. It is my hope that this series will encourage students to fight back and encourage legislators to intervene.
