THE WRONG LIST TO BE ON – AT 6:25 P.M. ET:  Look, not everyone can be nominated for an Oscar.  From the Washington Times: 

Harvard University and the University of California at Berkeley are used to being ranked among America’s top colleges, but a ranking issued by a campus watchdog on Monday isn’t much to write home about.

Both schools are included on the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education’s annual list of the 10 worst colleges for free speech.

The foundation’s executive director, Robert Shibley, said students, faculty and administrators are going to “greater and greater lengths to justify muzzling expression on campus.”

“This type of censorship makes for a sterile environment where lively debate and discussion can’t thrive,” Mr. Shibley said in a statement. “The public deserves to know which colleges will defend free expression — and which ones will go to seemingly any length to silence it.”

Rounding out the top 10 in no particular order are Fordham University in New York City; Albion College in Michigan; Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington; Drexel University in Philadelphia; Northwestern University in Evanston, Illionis; Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York; Los Angeles Community College District; and Texas State University in San Marcos.

COMMENT:  I hope the colleges are humble as they accept the honor – it's an honor on the left – of being placed on this list.  Many are called, few are chosen.
