Summary

Heritage expert Arthur Milikh, Associate Director of the B. Kenneth Simon Center for Principles and Politics, gives a powerful, in-depth interview about the current state of free speech on college campuses. Milikh also touches on the recent backlash against conservative speakers, and why we should still be optimistic. He starts by posing two fundamental questions: what is the purpose of a university, and why is free speech necessary to it?
