Abstract
Most of the chapters of this book focus upon the practice of Christian higher education. This chapter, however, departs from that general pattern to consider some specific ways in which secular universities restrict the expression of religious—and other—ideas by their students and faculty. With the growing hand of government regulation in education, what happens in the secular universities influences the Christian colleges at least indirectly and sometimes very directly. For example, in the case of the sexual identity issue, the implications have been major.
