UNC Takes on the University Echo Chamber
In a 12-0 vote, UNC’s Board of Trustees votes to establish a school dedicated to free expression. “UNC plans to create a discrete program with its own dean and at least 20 new professors to build a syllabus free from ideological enforcers. Students will be able to choose the new classes to fulfill university core requirements. Those who aren’t interested can stay in the existing courses.”
