Adam Groves is covering the Issue Committee fight at UT. The committee disburses $90,000 a year for guest speakers, almost all of them of a liberal persuasion. A conservative committee member has resigned in protest.
This isn't just happening at the University of Tennessee. David Horowitz and FIRE have been exposing the calcified liberalism and suppression of dissenting opinions at college campuses for years. Free clue for the Issues Committee: diversity isn't just about ethnicity or nationality. It's also about ideology.
