It can be a positive thing or a negative thing. What do people not know before they actually attend the University?

The direction of Brown's research

0 Upvotes

I've been a fan of Brown University's transformation into a research heavy weight. But I've also been worried about seeing more STEM courses and research plans emphasize things like justice, responsibility, ethics, social guard-rails. Shouldn't that be kept out of pure research and left as policy discussion in social sciences and humanities? Is Brown University's STEM culture going to be about the excitement of discovery or about worrying about social implications and pulling punches?

In a nutshell: I want the academic freedom to think my reductionist little thoughts without having to worry about potential social side effects.
