From The College Fix: The event was billed by organizers as a safe place: “Rice is and will continue to be a safe place for you.” “You should be comfortable being yourself on this campus. Your voice is wanted, it is desired. Let’s spend a few moments locking arms, holding hands, and feel like one […]

Per the College Fix: As the event took place, students — roughly 20 or so, according to the Sun’s video — wrote their reactions and emotions on poster boards with colored markers, or with chalk on the ground. A chilly day on the Ithaca campus, at one point the demonstrators huddled together as what appeared to […]

Sounds one-sided, doesn’t it?

Left-wing media critics I have debated over the years have repeatedly bashed the slanted “corporate media.” But now that a Republican presidential candidate has taken up this charge, with concrete proof, they are shying away from supporting his critique. You see, these critics were Bernie Sanders supporters, and Sanders has sold out to those special […]

I was disinvited from a college debate on the campus of the State University of New York in New Paltz last March. Left-wing professors didn’t want to hear me debate a left-winger on media coverage of the elections. It was the first time in academic history, to my knowledge, that an actual debate was cancelled […]

From the Chronicle of Higher Education, which is not a beacon of conservative politics or policies in higher education: At a rally in Columbus, Ohio, the Republican nominee ventured into what was for him uncharted territory, proposing the simplification of income-based repayment plans, decrying burdensome government regulations and their effect on college costs, and ripping […]

The “best and the brightest” in academe have been trying to unravel the Trump phenomenon for about as long as this election season has run.

From the Daily Caller: Public universities across the nation are beginning to unjustly confine student’s right to free speech and open discussion to specific “free speech zones.” Earlier this week, Arkansas Tech students Skyler Bowden and Jason Hammons were confronted by campus police while encouraging fellow students to sign a ‘Free Speech Ball’ promoting Young […]
