God and Man at Yale

"God and Man at Yale" is a 1951 essay by William F. Buckley Jr. criticizing Yale University for allegedly promoting secular liberalism and undermining traditional religious and moral values. Buckley argues that the institution's emphasis on human reason over divine authority creates a disconnect with religious individuals and moral heritage. The essay sparked debate about academic freedom, religion, and the role of higher education in shaping moral perspectives, highlighting tensions between secular education and religious belief in American universities.
