We Must Restore ‘Veritas’ at Our Universities

This is a university president who does not see “veritas,” truth, and good and evil in the world, as embodied and conveyed in the message on her university seal and its history.

The job of universities is to pursue truth. But this is impossible when they do not believe truth exists. Thinking that the point is bringing together people, rather than pursing truth, is an exercise in ideology, not scholarship, and leads only to the social, cultural and spiritual degeneration we are experiencing.

If we want to save our country, let’s save our places of learning. Let’s purge the sea of ethnic, political and ideological clubs that dominate social and intellectual life at what are supposed to be our institutions of learning.

[Oh, I think we’re way beyond some sort of restoration. We need to end the financial support between big government and Academia, as I argued earlier today. Let the market force the return of ‘veritas,’ or let the institutions collapse without it. — Ed]
