How Many Ward Churchills? A Study by the American Council of Trustees and Alumni

"Any institution that fails to guarantee the free exchange of ideas and students’ rights to learn has failed to do its job. Faced with substantial evidence of academic bias and pedagogical malfeasance, with course catalogs and professorial websites that openly declare war on impartial, objective teaching, institutions that do not take action deserve the criticism of public officials, taxpayers, students, and parents. Colleges and universities must ensure that they provide education, not indoctrination.This report aims to inform elected officials, trustees, administrators, alumni, parents, students, and citizens about what is happening, virtually unrecognized and unchallenged, on campuses across the nation. And it is designed to induce the public to demand better information and more accountability from the colleges and universities they support. Likewise, colleges and universities must amend their questionable practices and begin fulfilling their professional obligations. They must also recognize that if they do not take swift and decisive action, they risk losing the independence and the privilege they have traditionally enjoyed."
