Is the woke tide turning in American universities?

The student giving a tour at an elite American university this summer hit all the right points: what the core and elective courses are, how hard they are, and what campus life is like. It’s what the guide didn’t do that raised my eyebrow. Suddenly, there was no land acknowledgment.

It was like Sherlock Holmes’s famous “Dog That Didn’t Bark,” where the Victorian sleuth deduced whodunnit from something that hadn’t happened — in this instance, a stable dog that did not raise the alarm while a horse was being stolen. The perpetrator was the horse’s trainer, Holmes rightly reasoned.
