Kudos to NU President Morton Morty Schapiro, whose welcome (back) to campus message to all Northwestern students emphasized that we are a university that prides itself in its ability to discuss societys most contentious issues in a civil manner. President Schapiro continues, Undoubtedly there are strong passions surrounding the national and international issues that have dominated the news all summer. The worst thing would be to isolate ourselves from a serious discussion of the world’s problems. During the coming academic year, we will continue to foster an environment that includes free expression and a robust exchange of ideas, and I anticipate that we will all share in the occasionally uncomfortable learning that contributes significantly to greater understanding. I encourage all of us at Northwestern to engage with one another as a true community of learners. We are proud to be part of this community of learners and look forward to playing an ongoing and constructive role in these discussions on campus and beyond.
