Restoring Intellectual Diversity on University Campuses with Ramesh Ponnuru - August 2023
The lack of right-of-center professors on University campuses limits the range of ideas explored, stifles debate, and may discourage students from articulating and pursuing conservative ideas. One promising approach to restoring balance is to build programs and centers within universities devoted to exploring the key questions of social and political life without ruling out conservative answers. Their purpose is to intentionally create places for wide-ranging debate. Ramesh Ponnuru, editor of the National Review, joined former Congressman Vin Weber and Professor Larry Jacobs to make the case for restoring intellectual diversity on university campuses.
