Greg’s Speech at FreedomFest Uploaded to Podcasts Page
This year at FreedomFest 2009, FIRE President Greg Lukianoff delivered an engaging speech as part of his "Unlearning Liberty" series. During his discussion, Greg talked about the negative influence of excessive political correctness, a bureaucracy of administrators themselves uneducated in liberty, the increased reliance on a "risk management" approach to student conduct, and excessive fear of litigation as contributing factors in the repression of individual rights on college campuses today.
