...above all else it exists as "a place to advance knowledge and to assist students to share in and help create that knowledge." (The Report of the President. Yale University: 1967-68, p. 37.) Unless its governing arrangements nourish, sustain, and promote that central purpose, they cease to express the long-term interests of the institution which they were created to serve. The measure of effective governance in a university is not the number of committees it proliferates or the faculty and student time consumed in service on them, but rather the extent to which it liberates the energies...
...debate to some degree how far to go to actually spell it out. You could say that same copy without the word "vaginal" for instance, but we felt it was time. This era today is one of being able to express oneself and we felt the women would much more...
...Johnson movement and this year's M-day program, puts his case starkly: "This government, God willing, will respond to the wishes of the people, not to a tiny blackmailing minority that is trying to extort something, but to the massive wishes of people who have a right to express their views."

Sidney Geist, author of the leading study of Brancusi's work and guest curator...
That the University should not express views on political issues-a point which has been much argued over the years-is the principle of chief concern to me. I feel strongly that the long range health of this and other universities depends upon observing it. A second. no less-important point is that the right of dissent does not include the right to force assent. A university must be as concerned to protect the rights of its minorities as to respect the wishes of its majorities. A growing carelessness in regard to this basic principle of civilized democratic life seems...
