Excellent interview. I read this with particular interest as both an alum (‘00) and a father of a current Furman student that struggles with many of the same apprehensions that Dr Nelson speaks of. Thanks for this and all of the work that you all are doing!!!
I thought this was an excellent read. Unfortunately, the program probably won’t really begin to grow roots until after my daughter graduates next year. She is ideologically captured, and a few years of On Discourse would’ve helped her develop critical thinking. Instead, she has been drawn to those espousing “progressive” thoughts and ideas. I do, however, applaud Furman for taking steps to write the ship. And I hope those efforts continue in the future.
