Why, asks John Leo in U.S. News & World Report, is his own constituency so willing to bring him down with protests, disrupted basketball games, and boycotts, when Pres. Lawrence worked so hard to
make Rutgers a campus that «bristles with the enforcement tools of diversity: a speech code, real courses replaced by «multicultural curricular change,» diversity awareness «training» in lectures and freshman orientation sessions, a tolerance for
ethnic and racial
segregation in dorms («a self - affirming environment,» as Lawrence puts it), and professors who learn not to raise unapproved ideas about race, gender, and the campus power system built around multiculturalism»?
Knowing that religious selection in admissions creates
segregation along class and
ethnic lines, having a clear policy in favour of inclusion and taking great care not to allow any state - funded faith schools to have control over its own admissions would also
make sense for a Labour approach.
