In this clip from our recent Campus Liberty Tour debate on institutional neutrality in higher education, Jonathan Turley, Professor at George Washington University Law School, discusses the lasting harm caused by universities that abandoned neutrality during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This debate, hosted in partnership with Heterodox Academy at the University of Wyoming, posed the question, “Is institutional neutrality necessary to preserve the university as a forum for open inquiry rather than an actor in political disputes?”
