Courage has become a superlative attribute in our age. Higher education is newly interested in courage as a centering ideal. That's good: We need more courage on campus these days. What we have instead is a "mistaken" notion of courage. Courage is not screaming against the things that indispose us. Courage is sharing beliefs with confidence, authenticity and flexibility. It improves campus culture by contributing more perspectives and welcoming more views in the search for truth. It also requires much: faculty building classrooms that cultivate sincere interpersonal interest, administrators modeling charitableness and tenacity, and students choosing to listen and risk putting their beliefs under the microscope.
