George Mason Students Fail to Disinvite Youngkin

The May 2023 issue of Campus Report covers the failed attempt by George Mason University students to disinvite Governor Youngkin, encourages universities to invite more conservative speakers, and criticizes Randi Weingarten’s testimony. Despite protests and a petition, GMU President Gregory Washington upheld Youngkin’s invitation to speak at commencement, emphasizing the importance of diverse viewpoints on campus. The report laments the lack of conservative speakers at university commencements, providing a list of suggested conservative figures. Finally, Weingarten’s testimony on school closures during the pandemic is criticized for historical revisionism and downplaying the negative impact of prolonged closures on students.
