\"tellingthetruth\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A growing number of college and university presidents have spoken out<\/a> against the Trump administration\u2019s efforts to ban and deport immigrants and refugees.\u00a0 Some leading research universities have filed an amicus<\/em> brief<\/a> in support of the legal challenge to the initial ban.\u00a0 But a mere handful have been as outspoken about the broader implications of Trump\u2019s penchant for false and fear-mongering statements as Patricia McGuire, President of Trinity Washington University.\u00a0\u00a0 On February 12, she posted a statement to her blog<\/a> under the title I\u2019ve used for this post.\u00a0 In it she wrote:<\/p>\n

We Americans study the history of tyranny and exclaim, \u201cThat\u2019s terrible, but it would not happen here!\u201d as we congratulate ourselves on the robust state of our democracy.\u00a0 The experience of the last few months now exposes this once-confident boast as terribly naive and perhaps even dangerous as a new administration indulges in a remarkable torrent of false and misleading statements as a basis for policy and action.<\/em><\/p>\n

McGuire went on to critique Trump\u2019s \u201clies\u201d about immigration, terrorism, and alleged voter fraud, but perhaps the most noteworthy part of the post was her critique of Trump spokeswoman Kelllyanne Conway, who just happens to be an alumna of and donor to Trinity Washington.\u00a0 McGuire wrote:<\/p>\n

Presidential Counselor Kellyanne Conway<\/a>, Trinity Class of 1989, has played a large role in facilitating the manipulation of facts and encouraging the grave injustice being perpetrated by the Trump Administration\u2019s war on immigrants among many other issues.\u00a0 She is one of President Trump\u2019s primary spokespersons, an almost daily figure on cable news shows.\u00a0 Some people admire her staunch advocacy for her client\u2019s positions, and others applaud the fact that she was the first woman to manage a successful presidential campaign.\u00a0 But in fact, as is true of many of President Trump\u2019s statements, her advocacy on his behalf is often at variance with the truth.\u00a0\u00a0 Ms. Conway invented the now-infamous phrase \u201calternative facts\u201d<\/a>\u00a0 to defend Trump\u2019s claims about the size of crowds at his inauguration, a thinly-veiled autocratic scheme to try to claim that the Trump inauguration drew the biggest crowd in history when, in fact, it was on the smaller side.\u00a0 Ms. Conway has been part of a team that thinks nothing of shaping and spreading a skein of lies as a means to secure power.\u00a0 Perhaps the \u201cBowling Green Massacre\u201d<\/a> comment was truly a mistake, as she claims, but she repeated that canard on three different occasions<\/a> as an explanation for why the travel ban, an executive order that clearly discriminates against Muslims, was necessary.<\/p>\n

These issues have real consequences for Trinity students, faculty and staff. . . .<\/em><\/p>\n

Conway struck back in the pages of the Washington Post<\/a><\/em>, complaining that while McGuire had not hesitated to ask her for donations, she had not contacted her at all before posting her critique.\u00a0 \u201cMy money was good,\u201d Conway said. \u201cI get better treatment from Robby Mook [Hillary Clinton\u2019s campaign manager] than I do from the president of the university I attended.\u201d<\/p>\n

McGuire would have none of it.\u00a0 \u201cWe do have conservative alums, some of whom have written in recent days,\u201d McGuire told Inside Higher Ed<\/a>. But far more alumnae have been asking (prior to the blog post) why she wasn\u2019t speaking out about Conway.\u00a0 McGuire said that Conway is a public figure, sharing views about other people on television on a daily basis, and so is subject to criticism in public.\u00a0 \u201cThis is not a political cat fight,\u201d but is about \u201ca core value\u201d of higher education \u2014 the truth,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe issue with truth and truth-telling is central in all we do. If we academics don\u2019t stand for truth, what\u2019s the purpose of what we do?\u201d McGuire asked. \u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s outside our responsibility to stand up for truth and freedom. Fundamental democratic values are at stake. Academic freedom is at stake.\u201d<\/p>\n

McGuire\u2019s courageous and powerful stance should come as little surprise to members of the AAUP, however.\u00a0 In 2010, the AAUP bestowed on McGuire its Alexander Meiklejohn Award<\/a>, given occasionally to \u201can American college or university administrator or trustee, or to a board of trustees as a group, in recognition of an outstanding contribution to academic freedom, preferably during the preceding year.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 McGuire is the most recent recipient of the award.<\/p>\n

Now, I should disclose that there has been some controversy in the AAUP about this award.\u00a0 Some have voiced fears \u2014 legitimate ones \u2014 that in today\u2019s climate awarding an administration or board could backfire, as future actions may not be consistent with past recognition.\u00a0 And it must be acknowledged, there have over the years been some embarrassments.\u00a0 Patricia McGuire, however, is not one of those.\u00a0 Indeed, I for one am proud that the AAUP honored her and I recall well her stirring remarks at the annual meeting where she was honored, which was also one of the first I attended.\u00a0 Her comments on that occasion are still on the AAUP website<\/a> and are worth reading, but let me conclude here by quoting some of what she said about academic freedom, which is even more timely today.<\/p>\n

I mentioned the threats to academic freedom. Among many, let me mention just three briefly:<\/p>\n

First, the threat that comes with the devolution of higher education\u2019s purpose from the discovery of knowledge and cultivation of intellect to the mundane tasks of job training, simply producing workers for the economic engines of society. Yes, ensuring that our graduates can have productive, fulfilling work is important, but that is a happy by\u2010product of the academy, not its central mission. This tension has been growing for years, leaching our purpose slowly under the surface, subtly draining out the urgency of our defense of academic freedom under the guise of satisfying the corporate sector\u2019s demand for more accountants, computer scientists, editors, nurses, and pharmacologists \u2014 as if the professional workforce needed nothing more out of higher education than the technical knowledge and skills to do their jobs very well. Sucha soulless purpose treats our graduates as mere instruments of the economy, as if all those well educated workers have no souls to sing with a Shakespearean sonnet; no intellects to ponder the unfathomable evil that tortures human existence; no eyes to drown in the beauty of Renoir; no ears through which the strains of Chopin can reach their innermost being; no unrequited impulses to ditch the calculator for scuba tanks to plumb the depths; no burning itch to pen the great American novel; no curiosity to re\u2010read Nietzsche just in case advancing age might make clearer what a nineteen\u2010year\u2010old brain could not comprehend.<\/p>\n

Resisting the devolution of higher education into an overgrown secondary school model links to the second threat: the increasingly prevalent bureaucratic interference in our internal affairs (and private organizations can be just as nefarious as governments on this score), a tendency that is exacerbated in a climate that treats higher education as simply an extension of K\u201012 education, or, for us Catholic universities and colleges, the parish grade school. If we think that what happened to the Texas social studies curriculum could never happen to the collegiate curriculum, we are alarmingly obtuse.<\/p>\n

Higher education is one of the great counterbalances to government in a free society, but that balance only works through the free and frequent exercise of the muscle of our mission. We are the stewards of democracy\u2019s brain, the guarantors of informed citizen voices, the producers of much of the knowledge that fuels innovation stimulating social and economic progress. Lilliputian bureaucracies will certainly always try to tie down our free sails as we venture into uncharted waters \u2014 whether condemning a speaker or forbidding a play or investigating a scholar. Our stewardship \u2013 as presidents, as faculty, as trustees, all stewards of the freedom of higher education to do its work uninhibited and unintimidated \u2014 our stewardship requires us to swing mighty axes against the restraints that compromise our ability to conduct research freely, publish whatever we choose, teach as we must, and speak openly without fear.<\/p>\n

Which leads to my last point: the biggest threat to our academic freedom and health of our enterprise is our own tendency to self\u2010censorship, especially among college presidents and trustees, on matters where we must be loud and unafraid. Attorneys General may rattle their swords, bishops may fulminate, opinion writers may harrumph about the faculty member whose views of reality may be no weirder than their own. Look out the window: out there, every day, all of that is going on. We presidents can either cower under our desks to escape the noise, hoping no one calls us out, resolving to remain silent lest we lose a donor or upset the alumni or incur the wrath of some self\u2010appointed watchdog of orthodoxy blogging away in his basement (in his pajamas). Or, we can do our jobs, with responsibility, with integrity and with audacity.<\/p>\n

My most important obligation as a university president is not to raise money (a popular view of the presidency that is part of that devolution of purpose I mentioned earlier), but rather, to protect the climate for academic freedom on campus because that climate is the lungs, the
\noxygen, the nourishment that is essential for the life of the university to flourish. . . .<\/em><\/p>\n

If only more college and university presidents saw their roles in this light and were as willing as McGuire to eschew self-censorship \u2014 to not only \u201ctalk the talk\u201d but \u201cwalk the walk\u201d \u2014 how much better off we would be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
