Universities have people with clear minds and open to listening? Yeah, right!

 I am looking for that place where "there are people with clear mind to talk and open mind to listen" ... Certainly not my experience here, where I have been explicitly told to shut up.

अप्रियस्यापि पथ्यस्य परिणामः सुखावहः ।
वक्ता श्रोता च यत्रास्ति रमन्ते तत्र संपदः ॥

A matured (well thought out) speech will bring out good results even when it is harsh (or unpleasant). Any place where there are people with clear mind to talk and open mind to listen will always prosper.

Ah, academe, with its pretense of pursuit of truth, but the reality of allowing only one kind of sanctioned truth!  Like the old Soviet statement that anything not forbidden is banned :)
