The place of truth at the university has always been elsewhere. Scholarly research can be objective by being non-prejudicial in collecting facts and weighing arguments but can never be neutral in terms of the goals of the research, which must always be established before the research begins and from outside of the research project itself. If the determiners of the goals of the university are not the professors themselves but the society that sponsors their work, it is within this external values framework that the truth of the university must be found. In this issue of Telos, we explore the manifold ways in which the search for truth takes shape within the university today.
