Summary

In 2003, David Horowitz began a campaign to promote intellectual diversity and a return to academic standards in American universities. To achieve these goals he devised an "Academic Bill of Rights" and launched a national student movement with chapters on 160 college campuses. His efforts have led to the passage of an Academic Bill of Rights by student governments from Montana to Maine; have inspired the adoption of student-specific academic freedom rights at Temple University and Penn State; and have dramatically transformed the national debate on academic issues.
