Dissent

The staff contradicts itself by avowing the importance of a marketplace of ideas and then attacking Prof. Mansfield and dismissing the issues he has raised, essentially asking him not to raise them. Commencement and Expos are obviously relevant because they have the broadest impact on undergraduate life, as two things required of all graduates. If Mansfield seems like an anomaly at Harvard, that is only a result of the lack of an ideologically diverse Faculty.
