Would that the discourse on campus were as civil and open-minded as this. In any case, the responsibility falls upon each thinker to separate faith from fact, but this doesn't help dispel concerns that campuses are increasingly becoming co-opted by special interests interested more in slanting minds than expanding them.

The politicization of college campuses is becoming a huge problem, but we're starting to swing the other way on that. Ultimately, employers drive college education. Employers don't want to hire people they need to babysit, and they want to hire people who can do the job. It's incumbent on universities to create those people in order to keep money coming in. At this point they can either change, or they can fail.
