LETTER TO THE EDITOR IMPACT OF COLLEGE CHAOS WILL LEAD TO NATION’S COLLAPSE As a professor in a college setting for over 30 years, I have had direct contact with the college classroom setting and have personally observed some negative trends in the college and university envi- ronment. What was once the center of in- tellectual and cultural enrichment, col- leges and universities today have eroded and have simply surrendered their his- toric position. Today a tsunami of offend- ed and illogical student groups and teach- ers have expressed their ire, fear and frustration on the institution and have es- sentially eviscerated any concept of free speech and intellectual liberty. Many stu- dents would like to develop their intellec- tual skills and talents but are often over- whelmed by screaming elements of the offended. Thus, chaos at many colleges dictates the direction of learning and de- corum. This has been evolving over the last 50 years but now has reached a cli- max, and unless some sense of logic and reason is restored, higher education is doomed. The impact of this has reverber- ated in all directions of our society and will only lead to the collapse of our na- tion itself. JOSEPH C.
