“Mandating specific courses from a centralized legislative body is a too-little-too-late strategy that will not shift the core of the underlying problem facing higher education, namely the loss of purpose. Suppose you mandate certain authors or books to be taught at all universities, what guarantees that professors will even present such works in a sympathetic way? This would require further and further control to ensure that institutions are meeting ideological goals. These types of command-and-control policies miss the complexity across disciples and the needs across society. To use politics as an all-encompassing category justifying legislative mandates is to make the same mistake as those on the left who would fold all of human experience into the purview of the state.” (11/20/24)
