Intellectual Diversity

This Bozeman, Montana newspaper discusses SD's intellectual diversity bill and an upcoming conference on academic freedom at Montana State University:

Are universities too liberal? Do professors scorn conservative ideas, hire only those who share their left-leaning views and try to indoctrinate students?

Or have conservative politicians launched an assault on academic freedom that's the most serious since the McCarthy era?

Montana State University will join that national debate next month by holding a conference called, "Without Interference -- Academic Freedom in the 21st Century."
