Robert P. George(@McCormickProf):As president of Vanderbilt University, Daniel Diermeier has become a powerful voice of reform in higher education. This week he and the chairman of Vanderbilt's board published this highly commendable statement of first principles. Although the document's plea for institutional neutrality won't align with the mission of religiously affiliated schools, it is appropriate and indeed highly desirable for public universities and non-religiously affiliated private institutions like Vanderbilt and Princeton.
