The description of Sen. Cruz is accurate. It’s selective only in that it reflects two of the things that a great university must stand for, calling out lies in the public discourse and a rejection of racism. If, however, Sen. Cruz were noteworthy for his leadership and positive contribution “in the nation’s service,” such as fighting for universal education, health care, or a reduction in inequality, then I agree, that should have been included. Unfortunately, he is not.
