High Bias

It's time to bring some intellectual diversity to America's colleges and universities.

John Fund asks why there is so little intellectual diversity on campus and what we can do about it. There are several interesting solutions floating around including The Academic Bill of Rights as well as different voucher plans which would bring back market forces to the university and force it to respond better to the needs of the students and parents who pay the bills. Certainly there is little doubt that a school which offers only one side of a debate is not doing the job of properly educating its students. And one might also ad that a school which is obsessed with the liberal view of politics is a place where really interesting ideas are going to be few and far between.
