Experts to debate political bias in American universities in Eugene and PortlandCary Nelson, President of the American Association of University Professors, and David Horowitz, President of the Freedom Center, will debate the controversial topic of whether or not the freedom to teach and learn exists in American institutions of higher learning at the Inaugural Contrarian Forum. The debate will take place in Eugene on Monday, May 19, at 7 p.m. at Morse Event Center, Northwest Christian College, and in Portland on Tuesday, May 20, at 7:30 p.m. at the University of Oregon White Stag Building, 70 NW Couch. Both events are free and open to the public.
“The debates will provide a forum to discuss the claim that professors of American universities routinely indoctrinate students with their own political ideologies,” says David Frank, who is the director of the UO Forensics Program and will serve as moderator of the debates.
The debates will cap a four-day international conference, entitled “The Promise of Reason,” and organized by the UO English department's Center for Teaching Writing. More than 100 international scholars are scheduled to give presentations on topics such as legal reasoning, peaceful conflict resolution, arguments from religious authority, reasoning about human rights, the role of opposition in a just society, and feministic perspectives on argument.
Funding for the annual Contrarain Forum is provided by Clark Honors College alumnus Ival McMains, CEO of Family Fitness Management. For more information about the public debates or conference, visit www.uoregon.edu/~promreas/ or call 541-346-3911.
