The scenes of ideological intolerance have become all too familiar to Americans. Law students shouting down a federal judge<\/a> at Stanford Law School. College students protesting the new president of the University of Florida, former Republican U.S. Sen. Ben Sasse. Many of our most prestigious colleges and universities have been reduced to ideological monocultures \u2013 both inside and outside the classroom.<\/p>\n

The electorate\u2019s growing antipathy about the sad state of free speech in America\u2019s college<\/a> classrooms is not lost on politicians and policymakers.<\/p>\n

Realizing the hardened bureaucracies that exist in most public universities, a growing number of governors and state legislatures (mostly led by Republicans) are taking a creative approach to promoting free speech on campus by funding new centers of teaching and learning on subjects ranging from free-market economics to the unique importance of the American founding.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the last few months, several states have launched new “institutes” and “colleges” on the campuses of their major state-run universities:<\/p>\n

NEW YORK CONGRESSMAN INTRODUCES LEGISLATION TO PULL FEDERAL FUNDING FOR COLLEGES THAT PROMOTE ANTISEMITISM<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis<\/a> and the\u00a0legislature\u00a0announced the creation of the\u00a0Hamilton Center on the University of Florida campus in Gainesville. Initially funded with a $3 million budget allocation, this year the\u00a0legislature is considering\u00a0an increase to $10 million for this academic institute, which offers classes in civics and Western political thought. Arguing for the additional support, the funding request notes,\u00a0“UF\u2019s renewed commitment to civil disagreement\/debate in an intellectually diverse community to support\/challenge one another.”<\/p>\n

In February, Republican Gov. Bill Lee of Tennessee<\/a>\u00a0announced the launch of the new Institute of American Civics, declaring, “In many states, colleges and universities have become centers of anti-American thought, leaving students not only ill-equipped but confused. But in Tennessee, there is no reason why our institutions of higher learning can be an exceptional part of America at its best.” Undergraduates will be able to take classes in American civics and related courses.<\/p>\n

In January, the University of North Carolina<\/a>\u2019s Board of Trustees unanimously voted to create a new\u00a0School of Civic Life and Leadership on their flagship campus in Chapel Hill. In the announcement, one of the trustees, Marty Kotis, opined, “You need to be able to take the time to have that dialogue and understand there\u2019s various perspectives out there; that\u2019s the whole point of learning, not just to be in a bubble, but explore outside that bubble.” The new school will also offer coursework for undergrads as well as serve as a center for public debates and conversations.<\/p>\n

Just a few weeks ago, the regents of the University of Texas<\/a>,\u00a0announced the building of an entirely new college on the campus of their main location in Austin, expanding the programs of the existing\u00a0Civitas Institute \u2013 an academic center, “committed to exploring the ideas that sustain a free society” (from the website). In supporting this effort, Texas state Sen. Brandon Creighton noted, “The Civitas Institute will be a leader in research, education and policy based on free markets and individual liberty.”<\/p>\n

Most recently, the Ohio State Legislature<\/a> began debate on\u00a0Senate Bill 117, which would create two new “civics centers” at Ohio State University (a Salmon P. Chase Center for Civics, Culture and Society) and at the University of Toledo\u2019s law school (an Institute for American Constitutional Thought and Leadership). State Sen. Jerry Cirino, a bill co-author, was quite clear about his main reason for moving these initiatives forward: “One of the ways to change the structural preponderance of one line of thought is to set institutes like these up to assist our universities in moving forward with more intellectual diversity.”<\/p>\n

While the momentum of these announcements is encouraging, it is worth noting that as each of these centers is largely dependent on public funding \u2013 the changing of political winds in state capitals could affect the future of these innovations in academic freedom. Witness the recent moves by Arizona\u2019s new Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs<\/a>, who is seeking to reduce funding to Arizona State University\u2019s respected School for Civic and Economic Thought and Leadership (SCETL).<\/p>\n

What policymakers give, they can also take away, and as we know, elections have consequences. But so do ideas, and these new centers and colleges appear to be durable “safe spaces” for debate and learning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
