Plans are in the works for gun-themed movie nights, with screenings of movies that depict “heroic characters using guns for good, such as Red Dawn and The Patriot.” Volokh also hopes to attract pro-gun speakers to campus—perhaps even the great Heston himself.

In order to attract the finest junior Faculty, Harvard must show that it will fairly consider internal candidates for tenured positions to prevent scholars from seeking employment elsewhere with better long-term prospects. Academics often do impressive work as junior Faculty in their quest for tenure, and it would benefit the University to have that work done here.
