It seemed as though a report on a positive occurrence at an American university was much needed amidst the current campus chaos.

Outspoken Christian conservative Professor Robert George was honored by Princeton University on Tuesday during a commencement ceremony with an award for "Distinguished Teaching." According to a Princeton statement, George is a McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence and a professor of politics. Along with the commendation, George, and the other winners, will receive $5,000 personally and an additional $3,000 for his department to purchase new books.

As The College Fix reported, Princeton wasn't deterred by George's pro-life views or even what he said in this recent tweet:

There are few superstitious beliefs as absurd as the idea that a woman can be trapped in a man's body & vv. But in the Age of Feeling . . . — Robert P. George (@McCormickProf) May 15, 2016

The university only had nice things to say about the professor:

George, who has served on the faculty since 1985, is a widely known legal philosopher and constitutional scholar. He also is director of the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions. A colleague highlighted the impact George has had on "generations of Princeton students" who have "fond recollections [of] his now famous courses in "Constitutional Interpretation" and "Civil Liberties," which "remain among the largest and most popular in the politics department." A recent alumnus described how "Civil Liberties" "confronts some of the deepest and most controversial questions of public morality and civic life," and how "Constitutional Interpretation" "wrestles with intractable debates about the foundations and nuances of constitutional doctrine." A former student who worked with George as an undergraduate and a Ph.D. candidate, said: "On a range of topics, he challenges my thinking profoundly. We have discussed everything from politics to philosophy to religion to science — everything under the sun. Moreover, he discusses these subjects always with an eye not to convince but to instruct. We certainly disagree sometimes, but I know that I am not off the hook unless my ideas are well grounded."

George celebrated his recognition on Twitter, complementing Princeton for recognizing a "diversity of thought:"

To its credit, and my good fortune, Princeton still honors academic freedom and diversity of thought. https://t.co/xVpM302EUy — Robert P. George (@McCormickProf) May 31, 2016

Princeton has caved to the progressive politics of our hyper-PC culture, but it's nice to see it get something right -- even if it's just this once.

Here are some other good nuggets, courtesy of Professor George's Twitter feed:

The sex lib types went from "leave us alone to do what we want" to "we'll force you to approve of and facilitate what we do" in record time. — Robert P. George (@McCormickProf) May 12, 2016

With Obama's bathroom edict, the right of parents to direct the upbringing and education of children is in graver peril than ever. Vouchers! — Robert P. George (@McCormickProf) May 15, 2016

Cowardice is a greater danger to our civilization than error. When people cannot muster the courage to speak the truth, error will triumph. — Robert P. George (@McCormickProf) May 17, 2016

In college they told me to "question authority." I did. I found, though, that they didn't like it much. — Robert P. George (@McCormickProf) May 29, 2016
