Universities should be expected to provide the conditions within which hard thought, and therefore strong disagreement, independent judgment, and the questioning of stubborn assumptions, can flourish in an environment of the greatest freedom.

~ University of Chicago President Hanna Holborn Gray being quoted in the Report of the Committee on Freedom of Expression

Empathy is often the hard-won child born of a willingness to listen with our whole heart, not just the head on our shoulders.
