Robert Shibley

Robert L. Shibley, FIRE's Vice President, is a native of Toledo, Ohio, and a graduate of Duke University and Duke University School of Law. Robert's undergraduate experience serving as the managing editor of the Duke Review newspaper, which frequently decried (and faced) administrative censorship and bias, led him to a career defending the rights of college and university students and faculty members. Since starting at FIRE in 2003, Robert has aided students and faculty members at dozens of colleges and universities. As Vice President, along with traveling to various campuses to speak about First Amendment issues, Robert has represented FIRE publicly on CNN's Lou Dobbs Tonight, in national and international radio interviews, and in published editorials in the New York Post, Boston Globe, Providence Journal, Daily Oklahoman, and other newspapers. A member of the board of Valley Christian School in Huntingdon Valley, Pa., he and his wife Araz are the proud parents of a new daughter, Grace.
