Invitation for Discourse at Cornell University Discussed

Staff Report / FLXlocal.org

Cornell University Interim President Mike Kotlikoff discussed the fundamental purpose of universities in an op-ed published in The Cornell Daily Sun. He emphasized that universities were originally conceived as venues for debate, dialogue, and reason. Kotlikoff pointed out that while these institutions prioritize individual freedoms and rely on reason rather than force, they remain vulnerable.

He invited further discourse on the topic and highlighted the importance of education, the pursuit of truth, and the dissemination of knowledge within academic settings. More details on his invitation for discourse can be found at the Cornell Daily Sun's website.
