Big Agenda
David Horowitz · 21 weeksAn amended mission statement gives the recommendation exact words
SHORT SOURCE EXCERPT“intellectual, ideological, or political”
Horowitz introduces a diversity statement credited to Yale, presents it with additional categories, and then explicitly identifies those categories as his additions. He proposes that a legislative committee chair ask university presidents to insert the words, seek commitments and review subsequent progress. The wording is a proposed instrument inside a larger reform argument.
The author makes several otherwise hidden decisions visible: the location of the edit, the words to insert, the requester and recipient, and the intended follow-up. Readers can assess the precise proposal. Its relationship to the attributed original depends on the explanation after the displayed statement, which is especially important when typographic emphasis is unavailable.
The source in context.
Horowitz presents his diagnosis of universities, then supplies a mission statement with proposed additions and explains how he wants the change requested and followed up. A separate discussion of school classrooms closes with a proposed conduct rule.

The author makes several otherwise hidden decisions visible: the location of the edit, the words to insert, the requester and recipient, and the intended follow-up. Readers can assess the precise proposal. Its relationship to the attributed original depends on the explanation after the displayed statement, which is especially important when typographic emphasis is unavailable.
Its limit
The statement is already amended when the book presents it; the following explanation identifies the inserted words. The plain-text source does not preserve the claimed italics, and its note links only to Yale’s home page. The original statement, claims about other institutions, proposed authority and predicted results were not independently checked. This is proposed wording, not a demonstrated reform or an endorsement of the political program.
