At the University of Tulsa in Oklahoma, Professor Jacob Howland\\xa0writes\\xa0in\\xa0City Journal, "a new administration has turned a once-vibrant academic institution with a $1.1 billion endowment and a national reputation in core liberal arts subjects into a glorified trade school with a social-justice agenda." Speaking with\\xa0Seth Barron, Howland describes how, in early April, TU\'s new administration announced a wholesale reorganization of academic departments, including the elimination of traditional liberal arts majors. Students and faculty have responded by organizing\\xa0protests\\xa0and launching a\\xa0petition\\xa0to "save the heart and soul of the University of Tulsa."
