...Faust’s hard work has not inspired similar dedication from the Faculty. This year’s Faculty meetings have been bogged down in unproductive debate and plagued by miserable attendance.

Lorand Matory ’82, only talked about free speech to cover his agenda of criticizing pro-Israel bias at the University.

The fact that the Democratic Party cannot even have an open discussion on the Second Amendment out of fear that they will be crippled by a cultural bludgeon is indicative of the extent to which we have all collectively bought into this cultural trap. Certainly many rural Americans have a wide variety of reasons for opposing gun restrictions. But to claim that there exists a single “rural America” that universally rejects such proposals and considers...
