One of the greatest
advantages of "Academia", in a free society, is the
unfettered exchange of new knowledge--And the studied confirmation of
the best in old learning.
It appears that the University of Chicago has confirmed
(By its “no safe spaces” and “no trigger” letter to new
Freshmen) such concepts as expressed by the 1894 University of
Wisconsin Regents: "WHATEVER MAY BE THE LIMITATIONS
WHICH TRAMMEL INQUIRY ELSEWHERE WE BELIEVE THAT THE GREAT STATE
UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN SHOULD EVER ENCOURAGE THAT CONTINUED AND
FEARLESS SIFTING AND WINNOWING BY WHICH ALONE THE TRUTH CAN BE
FOUND". I doubt me that we need 20-plus page reports (As
delight parasitic bureaucrats who drain university resources and
inflate tuition). The noted, 1894, statement and the one page letter
for U-Chicago Freshmen seem more than enough words to set and defend
"Academic Freedom"--And the free speech right declared in
the First Amendment to our Constitution.
I suggest that all university trustees, regents and the
like: Formally thank the University of Chicago and its
Dean Of Students John Ellison for the above-cited statement; And,
confirm those thanks by sending a like letter to all of their
students, faculty and other employees AND formally setting both as
core parts of UW policy--Which shall be enforced by expulsion of
students and firing faculty (Without regard to tenure) who violate
that policy.
