A good rule for all of us is "first do no harm." And that absolutely goes for institutions of higher living choosing those it will loose upon society. Imo, they need to do a much better job of evaluating character, not worse. Let the dogs go to state colleges or private campuses designed for dogs. Yale produced that corrupt scum Brett Kavanaugh. Duke educated Stephen Miller, who fellow high school and college students thought was a dangerous extremist. Almost every one of those corrupt dogs in the RW leadership graduated from prestigious schools that are now embarrassed to be caught having produced them.
As for freedom of speech, this in no way gags these would-be students. They are still free as any of us to speak their minds.
