Abstract
Our Universities: Public Leadership Private Morality
The separation of private beliefs and public expression of those may be acceptable in many settings (though I am not convinced that is the case) but it is absolutely unacceptable for university leadership. University leadership is private morality expressed publically.
Nothing more, nothing less.
“I never did, or countenanced, in public life, a single act inconsistent with the strictest good faith; having never believed there was one code of morality for a public, and another for a private man.”
Thomas Jefferson, Founder, University of Virginia.
