Pros
Up until 10 years ago, DePauw attracted intellectually curious students willing to learn from intellectually driven faculty. The university flourished.
Cons
Nationwide events and changes in cultural values exposed the university for the eager sheep it was, following downward trends in activism that masqueraded as intellect. Enrollments have been declining, as politically driven faculty care more about pushing their political agendas instead of stirring scholarly thought. The leftward lurch of the university continues unchecked, despite the hollow drumbeat of diversity. In fact, the more it preaches diversity, the more it guarantees conformity.
