"Church of Reason?"

Phaedrus was a member of the English department that thinks that the University is like the “Church of Reason.” This all started when a professor was prohibited from speaking on the University because they did not have the statement “cleared through the college public-relations office.” This is not right because professors are supposed to speak and give speeches and for them to have to get their speeches cleared by the public-relations office is kind of absurd. The legislatures are making ridiculous laws now, like for every student that does not pass the college has a fine of eight thousand dollars, or that now funds for colleges are being cut. Phaedrus tells us that there are two types of Universities and that at the “real University” there is no specific location and that the second University is a legal corporation where they do not “generate new knowledge or evaluate ideas.” Phaedrus says that the University is like the “Church of Reason,” because just like a church that was sold and now is a bar, Universities are supposed to be for learning purposes and now they are a place people go just to go and “socialize” and sometimes “party.” Phaedrus says that Universities have changed and aren’t what they used to be. I think from my experience so far, the University has its ways. If you want to go to a University just to party and not take your school education seriously then that is your choice, but you can go to a University and take it seriously and do good in it.
