“Universities are not fallout shelters. Brutalities cry for attention. Attention to the appalling causes disturbance. Deal with it. You’re at school to be disturbed. Universities are very much in the business of trying to get you to rethink why you believe what you believe and whether you have grounds for believing it.”
TODD GITLIN, professor of journalism and sociology and chair of the Ph.D. program in Communications at Columbia University (As reported by Tablet Magazine).
