Group Of Congressional Republicans Wants “Bill Of Rights� In College Classrooms… | The Huffington Post

"I once attended a University that was attempting to implement 'residential education' and the new structures had reportedly been built around that model. The centers of student-oriented thematic education (math, visual and performing arts, nursing, history, premed, etc.) were also associated with dissent, a women's study college, the 'radical college', College E, each an alphabet letter, in original design, with student input as part of their creation. Perhaps if the Congress wants to insure the rights of students, it should begin by supporting residential education where like-minded students can actively challenge each other within a community of similar interests, provided by faculty. It seemed to work, meeting in a lounge for example with a moderator who introduced a different artist every week (i.e., Eric Bentley who taught drama at Columbia U., or an historian writing a book about 'Sex as seen through the White House' or the tympani player of the city Orchestra, etc.) would seem to safeguard dissenting opinion, politics, and/or religion. In that case the learning is brought to the student rather than the constant transportation required to see or hear a lecture. At least that was the idealism of 'residential education'."
