An announcement today by the University of Colorado Board of Regents regarding conservative inclusion is a welcome message in a sea of blatant discrimination practices that occur regularly on most university campuses around the country. Valory Richardson of The Washington Times reports:
DENVER — College campuses are known for proudly proclaiming their refusal to tolerate discrimination against any minority group, but try telling that to a conservative.
Few would disagree that conservative professors are an endangered species on campus , which is why the University of Colorado Board of Regents is scheduled to consider Thursday a resolution that would prohibit discrimination based on “political affiliation or political philosophy.”Regent James Geddes said the proposed policy change is aimed at bringing more diversity of intellectual thought to the university , which has a reputation as a bastion of liberalism in its faculty and student body.
“It’s my view that academic freedom is of paramount importance, and unfortunately in many disciplines at the University of Colorado, they end up with high-quality people who think alike,” Mr. Geddes said. “If the other side is not present, then the environment for a rich exchange of ideas is simply not there.”
Congratualtions go out to Steven Hayward and the University of Colorado Board of Regents.
Nearly every day there are indications that conservative’s are getting involved, making a case for the conservative message, and making a difference in many areas of society and life. So glad Post Scripts can help to spread the good news.
