<p>Johnwesley, with all due respect you’re hardly a dispassionate observer when it comes to Wesleyan. And shooting the messenger (the Brown transferor) because you disagree with the message isn’t particularly helpful. </p>
<p>There usually is at least some truth behind reputations, especially ones as entrenched as Wesleyan’s. And other LACs in fact do do a better job at fostering thought and political diversity than does Wesleyan.</p>
<p>I am well left of center myself, but having said that I was relieved when my son selected another LAC over Wesleyan. The truly open minded want to hear the opposite view.</p>
