After a number of years of teaching and communicating with university students, I found the following observation sound and true.
Most undergraduates arrive on campus with fairly well formed political beliefs. The students drawn to our views are always those who already share them. We put ideas out for consideration. They can take them or leave them. Then we each get on with our lives. (Cary Nelson's No university is an island: saving academic freedom (New York : New York University Press, 2010), p. 14)
