Why does anyone try to defend universities anymore? Why does anyone working at them think they can voice un-PC opinions? Other than maybe the university of Chicago, are there any that don't routinely punish academics for offending extremist women whilst still loudly proclaiming that they're bastions of free thinking and intellectual bravery? I can't think of any.

All I ever read about with respect to universities these days is incredible weakness. No matter how absurd or extreme the complaint, the administrators always fold. A terrible sign of the intellectual decay at heart of our civilisation.
