Threatening notes slipped under doors. Racist graffiti placed on campus posters. A white hatemonger welcomed. A black peacemaker turned away. A commencement speech made to denigrate women.
I am trying to understand how these recent scenes from the University of St. Thomas fit with the university's mission of liberal thinking, its history of diversity and the legacy of St. Thomas Aquinas. The university seems to have lost its way. I just hope the administration is still focused on the students, because if it is, donors and supporters will follow. But it doesn't work the other way around.

About Opinion Exchange
Opinion Exchange is produced by the Editorial Department, which is dedicated to hosting the discussion on a range of issues of interest to Star Tribune readers online and in print. In its new format, it's our hope that Opinion Exhange will create a more dynamic dialogue between Star Tribune readers and the Editorial Board. Many individual posts will be written and signed by members of the Editorial Board and will reflect their own opinions. Daily editorials will continue to represent the institutional voice of the newspaper and be researched and written by the Editorial Department, which is independent of the newsroom.
