American universities, particularly prestigious ones like Harvard and Princeton, are experiencing internal upheaval due to the influence of leftist activists. While there is a call for reform and preservation of their original missions, which emphasized the importance of Western civilization and critical thinking, there's also a push to reclaim these institutions from those deemed as vandalizing their cultural and intellectual heritage. Newer institutions focused on truth and rigorous inquiry, such as the University of Austin, are emerging as alternatives in response to these challenges.
The mission of our oldest schools was once well understood: to preserve American culture, to teach what is good in us, and to constantly question what we believe and why.
Administrative bloat and activist intellectuals have taken over these campuses, but the bones of intellectual inquiry and academic rigor remain to be recaptured.
