Condi Rice honorary degree stirs debate at Boston College

<p>While it is true that a private school does not have to guarantee “academic freedom” they lose significant credability if they become too heavy handed in enforcing orthodoxy of thought. My sense is that it is okay to allow those dissenting voices on campus that support abortion provided they do not speak for the school, only themselves.</p>

<p>My sense is that most of the Catholic schools have it about right, allow the opposing points of view on campus but they should not receive funding from the school and should not carry the name of the school. For example there shold not be a Holy Cross pro-choice club that receives fund from the school.</p>
