More states are trying to determine what’s taught in public college classrooms. Conservative lawmakers say the tuition payers and taxpayers they represent should have more influence on the curriculum — to keep left-wing professors from indoctrinating students. But opponents see efforts to curtail academic freedom and enforce a particular point of view.
How is this debate affecting teaching, academic governance, and campus climates now, and what’s likely to happen next?
Join us on Thursday, September 14 at 12 noon ET / 9 a.m. PT for a discussion with senior reporter Emma Pettit and a panel of experts to discuss the state of play and answer your questions.
