Said Laurence Hasbrouck Snyder, dean of the graduate college at the University of Oklahoma: "If universities, which are supposedly the epitome of culture and learning in our society, cannot practice the principles of democracy and illustrate them by example, where in the world will they be illustrated and practiced?"
