Social psychologist Jonathan Haidt and New York Times author Frank Bruni recently discussed the lack of intellectual diversity on college campuses and the "stunning fragility" of today's students. They say this is reducing wisdom, which is exactly what colleges should try to impart, and further increasing the divide between people, which is exactly not what colleges should inspire. This is a valuable discussion on the state of the modern university and is worth a listen.
