    Colleges' Big Fail: Protecting Feelings, But Not Speech

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Tuesday, September 1, 2015

    The annual ritual of freshman orientation, which begins in mid-summer and extends through mid-September, is in full swing. Colleges are welcoming students and showing them around, acquainting them with classmates and college facilities, and making them aware of the full range of campus activities, clubs, and programs.

    Lawmakers Haven't Protected Free Speech On Campus-- Here's How They Can

    Research | Articles
    Saturday, February 4, 2017

    Much as administrators and faculty may dislike it, the fact is that public colleges are subject to both the First Amendment and the state legislatures that fund them. Legislators shouldn’t micromanage the campuses, but they must set some basic rules.

    States Consider Legislation To Protect Free Speech On Campus

    Research | Articles
    Friday, May 5, 2017

    On college campuses, outrage over provocative speakers sometimes turns violent. It's becoming a pattern on campuses around the country. A speaker is invited, often by a conservative student group. Other students oppose the speaker, and maybe they protest. If the speech happens, the speaker is heckled. Sometimes there's violence.

    Campus Declarations Of War On Free Speech

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Friday, August 4, 2017

    The threat to free speech in the United States is by no means restricted to colleges and universities, but they have become breeding grounds, training camps, and launching pads in the campaign to curtail liberty of thought and discussion. It is on our campuses where the battle for free speech will be won or lost.

    Violence Is Becoming More Acceptable

    Research | Articles
    Friday, September 22, 2017

    When one-fifth of college students believe it's fine to use violence to silence speech, we have a huge problem.

    Colleges' Central Mission Erodes-- And Free Speech With It

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Friday, April 6, 2018

    Only apologists determined to avert their eyes and cover their ears could deny with a straight face that higher education in America today nurses hostility to free speech.

    Religious Freedom Isn't Baked Into Wedding Cake Ruling

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Wednesday, June 13, 2018

    Last week in Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, the Supreme Court threaded the needle. Whether the thread will hold is uncertain. Justice Anthony Kennedy’s narrowly crafted majority opinion protected religious liberty without impairing gay rights.

    Can The Federal Government Rescue Campus Free Speech?

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Sunday, March 31, 2019

    The well-documented inability of American colleges and universities to reverse the several-decades-long curtailment of free speech on campus is a matter of considerable public interest. Whether the federal government is capable of producing effective reform is another question. President Trump seems to believe Washington is up to the task.

    RICH MAN, POOR MAN: Income Inequality

    Research | Videos
    Wednesday, July 18, 2001

    How much does the gap between rich and poor matter? In 1979, for every dollar the poorest fifth of the American population earned, the richest fifth earned nine. By 1997, that gap had increased to fifteen to one. Is this growing income inequality a serious problem? Is the size of the gap between rich and poor less important than the poor's absolute level of income? In other words, should we focus on reducing the income gap or on fighting poverty?

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz

    New Republic Falls Short of the True Liberalism It Champions

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Monday, October 13, 2014

    Liberalism, most people would agree, stands for the state's responsibility to actively improve the social, economic, and political quality of citizens’ lives. In a more fundamental sense liberalism also denotes certain qualities of mind and character, among them tolerance, generosity, the capacity to engage civilly competing opinions, and a determination to base politics on reason rather than physical force or arbitrary authority.

    Why The Left Casts A Blind Eye On Radical Islam

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Saturday, February 7, 2015

    This week came news that the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant burned alive a Jordanian pilot in a metal cage. Thursday morning's National Prayer Breakfast speech represented the first sign that President Obama is prepared to acknowledge a connection between Islam and the violence -- beheadings, mass murders, rape, human slavery, state sponsorship of terrorism, and military conquest -- jihadists are perpetrating in Muhammad’s name.

    Dowd On America's Dangerous Choice

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Friday, September 9, 2016

    The 2016 election campaign has proved a trying one for citizens who seek sobriety, integrity, and fidelity to principle in their presidential candidates. The two major party nominees’ glaring deficiencies have provoked cries of despair from many high-minded voters. But that is a luxury the nation can ill afford.

    Research | Articles
    Wednesday, October 24, 2018

    According to an email obtained by the Independent, Claremont McKenna College (CMC)—ranked number one for free speech among California colleges—is in the process of rolling out the Open Academy initiative. This initiative seeks to bring additional funding to expand viewpoint diversity in the Athenaeum speaker series—already recognized as a haven for speakers of many ideological perspectives —, in the classroom, and to help students build skills to engage in effective dialogue with those whom they disagree.
