[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Major and ECs might enter into DC’s decision as well.  Encourage DC to look at course offerings, faculty research projects, clubs, etc.

And the Haidt argument is BS.  Train people to be self-critical and empathetic and you further both objectives.  Choose one (truth/justice) over the other in some kind of categorical manner and whichever one you choose will end up badly served.  (As, of course, will the value you subordinate).[/quote]

It is clear that you have either not read what he has to say or simply don't understand what he argues for, or are deliberately distorting his views to suit your nefarious goals.

[i]I am not saying that an individual student cannot pursue both goals. In the talk below I urge students to embrace truth as the only way that they can pursue activism that will effectively enhance social justice.[/i]

He doesn't demand that individual students choose one or the other, but an educational institution must, because otherwise it cannot do what you yourself want i.e. [b]Train people to be self-critical and empathetic[/b]

Go back and read him instead of making a fool of yourself by doing a drive-by analysis[/quote]

Not the PP you’re responding to but am the Brown alum PP who turned down U Chicago.  It’s true that Brown is full of social justice types.  I’m not that type at all and found it was really more the students that are that way, not the faculty.  Meaning you can still chart your own course and be conservative if you want and get plenty of faculty support.  I do feel like Brown completely disillusioned me from uber-liberal politics, which I kind of appreciate!!![/quote]
