Todd Wolfson, Professor at Rutgers University and President of the American Association of University Professors, argues that the national conversation about higher education has too often been driven by those using universities as political platforms. Speaking at Steamboat Institute’s Campus Liberty Tour debate at the University of Wyoming, he urged a broader look at long-term divestment and the purposes behind today’s critiques of higher ed.
You can watch the full debate, which asked the question, “Is institutional neutrality necessary to preserve the university as a forum for open inquiry rather than an actor in political disputes?" here: youtube.com/watch?v=jpo-763VA40
