Jefferson Council Adds Higher-Ed News Feed

Written By James Bacon

We at the Jefferson Council do our best to keep you informed about University of Virginia events bearing upon our four pillars: upholding Thomas Jefferson's legacy, preserving the dignity of the academical village, protecting the honor code, and promoting free speech and intellectual diversity. Through our friends at the Virginia Association of Scholars (VAS), we come across many articles bearing on those and related topics from around the country.Given your interest in the University of Virginia, we thought you might be interested in staying informed about similar issues elsewhere in Virginia and nationally. On the other hand, we do not want to inundate your in-box with unwanted email.As a trial, we will post VAS news feeds on The Jefferson Council blog. Please let us know through the comments section if this material is welcome or a distraction.-- JAB

James Bacon

After a 25-year career in Virginia journalism, James A. 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.

In 2021, he co-founded The Jefferson Council to preserve free speech, intellectual diversity, and the Jeffersonian legacy at his alma mater the University of Virginia. He previously served as the organization’s executive director, now serving as congributing editor.

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.

A Virginian through-and-through, Bacon lives in Richmond with his wife Laura.
