"Institutions of higher education are conducted for the common good and not to further the interest of either the individual teacher or the institution as a whole. The common good depends upon the free search for truth and its free exposition." From Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom and Tenure; American Association of University Professors (AAUP)

"Like American society generally, higher education these days increasingly focuses on an ever-expanding list of identity groups. One's knowledge is assumed to be not a matter of learning, reflection, and careful thought, but rather primarily of experience rooted in one's race and sexual identity, combined with class, ethnicity, religion, and other emerging identity markers."

Universities in a free society should be places where open minds can flourish and examine ideas from a variety of reasoned perspectives. In recent years, however, sociopolitical agendas often drive the discourse - supplanting, suppressing, and ultimately excluding alternative views. NoIndoctrination.org provides a forum for college students to report courses and programs that in their opinion contain severe bias or amount to indoctrination.
If you believe you have experienced courses or orientation programs that advance one-sided social or political ideologies, denigrate alternative views, or create an intimidating atmosphere for expressing diverse opinions, please post your experiences here (and, if possible, send corroborating material). The information we gather will help us in our mission to promote open inquiry in academia.
