Just a quick note. There has often been debate on the Sphere about liberalism on college campuses--academic freedom and other issues--and I thought I would recommend a book I've been reading: What's Liberal About the Liberal Arts? by Michael Berube. The author is a liberal college professor who has reasonable things to say about the problems we have in our arguments on and about college campuses. I'm not quite through the book yet, but I think Sphereans of any political persuasion can find a reasonable and reasoning voice here. Berube does a good job of narrating the difficult balancing acts professors often perform in the classroom.
