Commonwealth Club Forum Conversation with Michael Roth

Perhaps you missed it.  But not for long.

 

In a recent Commonwealth Club Forum,  Michael Krasny sat down with Michael Roth, President of Wesleyan University. Here’s a link to the entire live event.

 

As you may know, Roth is an advocate for open-mindedness, critical thinking and, sometimes—controversially—"intellectual diversity.”

 

Hear what he has to say about bringing conservative voices on campus. The dangers of progressive pieties.  And, most importantly, keeping the Feds out of campus affairs.

 

Roth champions the autonomy of academic institutions and encourages education leaders to take a stand against government intrusion.

 

Hear the full, stimulating conversation--including audience questions--as it was streamed live from the Commonwealth Club World Affairs headquarters on the Embarcadero in San Francisco.
