University of Austin Provost Jacob Howland on Repairing America’s Broken Universities

"It was very clear to me that our institutions were broken.

The news media is supposed to report news, not to serve as an arm of government propaganda.

The CIA and the FBI are supposed to protect Americans, not spy on them.

Universities are supposed to educate and not indoctrinate, et cetera.

And I decided that what's wrong is a lack of sound judgment - a lack of being able to see things whole.

Institutions had forgotten what their purpose is, and what we needed to do is educate students who were capable of repairing these institutions." - University of Austin Provost Jacob Howland
