The Cornerstone

The modern university is supposed to be a place of intellectual stimulus and growth – an environment where students and faculty can explore new ideas. It is thought that an environment with a diversity of ideas that can be tested against one another, no matter how unlikely the ideas may be, will produce truth. However, there is a growing complaint that universities have grown narrow in their criteria for what ideas are worthy to be tried, and that professors are only teaching biased sides of controversial issues. This complaint has led some to examine the university system to test whether there is real academic freedom.

On Tuesday, September 15^th, David Horowitz will be speaking at 7:30 pm in the Jordan Ballroom at BSU on academic freedom.

The event is free of charge, but donations are accepted.

This event is presented by The College of Idaho Students for Economic Freedom, The Boise State Conservative Student Coalition, and The Idaho Freedom Foundation.
