"We don't dispute the universities' prerogatives to be selective in choosing speakers. And we're conscious of the fact that awarding an honorary degree is an even more sensitive consideration given that the recipient will bear the imprimatur of the university. What troubles us, however, is the inconsistency of the standards applied.
It's a matter of common knowledge that university campuses are traditionally friendly environs for even the most radical figures of the progressive Left. That's not necessarily objectionable. A full survey of the intellectual landscape should include marginal voices."
Universities not open to all, should not be funded by government. They can exist due to contributions, but support for institutions of dogma is akin to a state religion.
State universities, in particular should be privatized and verifiability neutral intuitions be established to replace them.
