Colleges and universities today manifest a paradoxical combination of remarkable success and abject failure. Vast resources and extensive funding for research have made our system of higher education the envy of the worldÂbut its extraordinarily ideological homogeneity corrupts its contribution to American society. In their relentless liberalism, not only do our institutions of higher education fail to train liberal leaders capable of governing a pluralistic nation, the intolerance they foster stokes the fires of the culture wars.

Not too many universities and colleges have an optimistic view of 2010. It’s shaping up to be a year (and more) of budget cuts and frugality. Unlike businesses – which are immediately impacted by financial downturns – governments feel financial pain when tax revenue drops (usually 6+ months after downturns). Universities are impacted only after governments begin grappling with new budgets. As a result, higher education feels financial pain a year or so after the rest of society. And that’s when the cuts start. Unfortunately, during periods of downturn, more students are enrolling in university…at exactly the same time that universities are dealing with cuts.
