In American colleges and universities, are tomorrow’s leaders receiving an intellectual grounding in the diversity of thought that reflects a free society? In conversation with Bill Whalen on *Matters of Policy & Politics*, Peter Berkowitz shares insights from his forthcoming book, *Reclaiming Liberal Education in America*, and argues that all is not lost in higher ed. Universities are being held accountable for their misdeeds, Berkowitz argues, and there are scholars in the academic pipeline who dare to think differently. Berkowitz also emphasizes that change won’t happen overnight, even as many institutions initiate reforms to better protect free speech and encourage more open debate.
