Pursue Truth: Never Fear, Never Waver
ACTA’s Hero of Intellectual Freedom award was presented to Roland G. Fryer, Jr., professor of economics at Harvard University.
Renowned legal scholar, professor, columnist, and commentator Jonathan Turley joins ACTA’s Dr. Steven McGuire on Higher Ed Now to discuss why free speech has always been America’s most revolutionary and indispensable right; how academia spawned the latest, and perhaps most dangerous, campaign against free speech; and why an enriching college experience should resemble the famous bar scene from Star Wars: A New Hope. Turley’s new book is titled The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage.
