Universities have traditionally provided a forum for the free exchange of ideas between and among faculty and students. But how robust can discourse be when most everyone shares the same thoughts and opinions? How can a professor tackle a controversial research topic, or a student express an unpopular opinion, if he or she is terrified of finding or saying the "wrong" thing?
