PLEASE REGISTER HEREfor this 4pm ET May 10 Livestream Webinar.FORWARD TO ALL YOUR UNIVERSITY FRIENDS & COLLEAGUES.ALL ARE WELCOME!

By becoming better informed, you can help CFSA address the “Cancel Culture” Crisis at Cornell University -- and other higher-ed institutions.As has been widely and increasingly reported by Faculty, Students & Alumni, Cornell University is now facing an acute Cancel Culture crisis on campus. The GroupThink, Monoculture, Viewpoint Suppression, and Academic Freedom impairments at Cornell have grown so severe that the American Council of Alumni & Trustees (“ACTA”) has cited Cornell as 1 of 3 US universities where ACTA has launched a focused “Campus Freedom Initiative”. In addition, the highly respected Foundation for Individual Rights in Expression (“FIRE”) has joined the efforts of Cornell Free Speech Alliance (“CFSA”) and completed a Cornell student survey which concluded the following:In light of the above campus conditions, the Cornell Free Speech Alliance (“CFSA”) has formally and repeatedly reached out to the Cornell President and Administration to urge that that the Administration initiate policy reforms to reverse the educational and reputational degradation at Cornell which will worsen if the Administration continues to embrace and advance policies which impede Academic Freedom, Viewpoint Diversity, and Free Expression on campus. With over 15,000 concerned alumni members and followers, CFSA has repeatedly made attempts to engage with the Administration to discuss programs and policies which can help Cornell reverse the dangerous course it has been following in recent years. Unfortunately, despite CFSA’s repeated attempts, the Administration has refused to respond to this large assembly of CFSA alumni and has ignored the needed policy measures that CFSA has recommended (including Free Speech Training for all new students).To learn more about the barriers to Free Expression and Academic Freedom at Cornell and other leading US universities, please register below for the May 10 Heterodox Academy Livestream Webinar:

Bacon founded Bacon’s Rebellion in 2002 a blog with the goal of “Reinventing Virginia for the 21st Century.” Its focus is on building more prosperous, livable and sustainable communities. In recent years he has concentrated more on the spread of “woke” ideology in K-12 schools, the criminal justice system, higher education, and medicine.

Aside from blogging, Bacon writes books. His first was Boomergeddon: How Runaway Deficits Will Bankrupt the Country and Ruin Retirement for Aging Baby Boomers — And What You Can Do About It, followed by Maverick Miner: How E. Morgan Massey Became a Coal Industry Legend and a work of science fiction, Dust Mites: the Siege of Airlock Three.
