What say you?

Some universities -- and, in particularly, some humanities departments -- have, over the last few decades, wandered far from the primary purpose of what these institutions were designed for: to teach what is worth knowing; to train the intellect; to acquaint students with, and help them appreciate, the glories of the human mind and its finest achievements.Concomitantly (at the same time), they have descended into pseudo-studies, become infatuated with low pop culture, become obsessed with faddish social justice issues, turned hyper-vigilant on their students' "comfort levels" and are pruriently concerned with sexism narratives, cause politics and "identity" zealotry. They bear almost no resemblance to the institutions of higher learning -- higher in its full applications -- that they, at least ideally, have always aspired to be.
