“Yet as David Brooks pointed out in the September issue of the Atlantic Monthly magazine, the place where there is the least diversity today is on college faculties. Conservatives simply are not welcome, except for a few tokens in some places. As Mr. Brooks wrote, ``No group of people sings the diversity anthem more frequently than administrators at our elite universities, but elite universities are amazingly undiverse in their values, politics, and mores. Professors, in particular, are drawn from a narrow segment of the population.'' Mr. Brooks pointed out that conservative students and professors may be one of the groups most discriminated in this country today. Mr. Speaker, I hope our elite universities will strive for true diversity and academic freedom and allow at least a few conservatives to teach in their classrooms and speak on their campuses.”
