Purdue’s free-speech orientation program could go national, thanks to college bureaucrat group
Indiana’s Purdue University is making a strong play for best public university in the country, based on its demonstrated commitment to free speech.
And now it’s getting interest in taking that approach to other schools, whose leaders may be tiring of giving in to student demands to censor and punish students, faculty and staff for their speech and nonthreatening behaviors.
The university has been approached by NASPA (Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education) to present the “methodology” for its “free speech orientation program” – the first of its kind in the nation – at an upcoming conference, Director of Student Success Programs Dan Carpenter told the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education.
