Liberal academia claims to champion the progressive ideals of inclusion and diversity. Unfortunately, there exists a systematic discrimination against certain viewpoints, including conservatives and evangelical Christians in many colleges. As colleges pay lip-service to diversity, but discourage it in reality, it is students that lose out on experiencing genuine diversity of thought. Nicholas Kristof addresses this bias in a New York Times op-ed: 
In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus says, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven” (Matthew 5:9). Though we live in a world filled with discord, we should take His exhortation to heart and through our peaceful dispositions, let our neighbors feel the positive impact of our Christian faith.
The environment at the nation’s leading universities is often academically intense, sometimes highly competitive, and highly secular. Prospective students and families considering the pros and cons of attending one of the nation’s top ranked schools are right to wonder if it will be difficult for freshmen who are Christian to stay strong in their faith. However, despite the real challenges they face, Christian students reflecting on their experiences report a wealth of opportunities to grow in their faith. 
On May 6, 2016, Harvard University announced “members of independent, single-sex, off-campus organizations will be blacklisted from Rhodes and Marshall scholarships and banned from leadership of on-campus organizations or athletic teams.”
Prayer: one of the most powerful and puzzling aspects of Christianity. A prayer can range from a quick utterance to hours of dedicated intercession. Prayer is something that we can never do enough, yet there is no exact formula (even the Lord’s prayer is offered as a guide, not imposed as a rule). There are a rich variety of modes of prayer that can help believers enter into conscious, personal communion with God.
It is in fact the most normal thing in the common Christian life to pray together. - Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“In the dressing room before a show, we would read the psalms as a band and then walk out into arenas and stadiums — the words igniting us, inspiring us.” — Bono, activist and lead singer of U2"I went from having no voice to wanting to be the voice of the pro-life movement."
Courtney McEachon '15 is a graduate of Yale University. Among her many courses and activities, she was a key student leader in the pro-life movement at Yale. In her efforts to bring greater visibility to the pro-life movement among college students, Courtney gained considerable insight into the role people of influence play in determining what constitutes "good" and "just" in society.
