The liberally educated person is one who is able to resist the easy and preferred answers, not because he is obstinate but because he knows others worthy of consideration.

–Allan Bloom

Minding the Campus, a project of the National Association of Scholars, covers higher education through original reporting, analysis, and commentary, examining trends in academia, intellectual life, and campus culture. 

At a time when many institutions have strayed from their mission—neglecting intellectual rigor, promoting ideological conformity, and failing to ground students in the liberal arts—Minding the Campus provides a necessary corrective, documenting these trends and amplifying original scholarship. By highlighting overlooked perspectives and emerging ideas, we foster civil and honest engagement, encouraging informed discussion and critical thinking about the state of American universities and the society they serve.
