Campus Freedom Network Update
This past Monday, FIRE launched the Campus Freedom Network’s (CFN’s) new website. To celebrate, we invited liberty-loving students and faculty across the country to come check out some of the new site’s features, like exclusive CFN content and commenting.
So how’d it go? Well, at the end of the CFN’s first week online, we’re extremely pleased to announce the addition of over 190 new CFN members! It’s exciting to think that at schools all over the country—public and private, urban and rural—students and faculty who believe in the fundamental importance of individual rights on campus are coming together online.
If you’re a student or teacher interested in joining the CFN, drop us a line. We’d love to hear from you, and we look forward to seeing you online!
