Announcing Conservative University 2002!
Hi, this is Sara Russo from Accuracy in Academia, a group that fights the left-wing bias on college campuses. We're hosting a conference for students this summer from July 18-21 at Georgetown University in D.C., and I wanted to let you all know about it. More info is below. Please contact me if you have any questions. -Sara
Join like-minded men and women from around the country, as well as some of the brightest thinkers in America today, at Accuracy in Academia's Conservative University. Held at Georgetown University in our nation's capital from July 18th-21st, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will present free market and traditionalist perspectives on history, philosophy, law, foreign policy, feminism, government, and economics that are too often excluded from our colleges and universities.
Conservative University exists because contemporary universities have failed. By neglecting conservative ideas and viewpoints in the classroom, leftist academics have hindered students from coming to their own conclusions about the social and political issues that affect our society. Conservative University will redress this failure of our academic institutions by providing conservative and libertarian perspectives on a variety of topics. This informative program includes a session devoted to re-examining American history, a debate on the legacy of Abraham Lincoln, and an in-depth look at Friedrich Hayek's classic work of political thought, The Road To Serfdom.
Our distinguished faculty includes best-selling author Dinesh D'Souza, historian Burt Folsom, Accuracy in Media chairman Reed Irvine and more than twenty of the conservative movement's most enlightened writers, leaders, and scholars.
Tuition is only $99 for students (under age 30) and covers lectures, housing, meals, and a free copy of The Road to Serfdom. Students over age 30 are welcome to attend all events for the $99 rate, but must provide their own housing. Discover the ideas your professors don't want you to hear at AIA's Conservative University.
To register, or for more information, please contact Sara Russo at 1-800-787-0429, or by e-mail at sara@academia.org . Conference flyers and other materials can be obtained by e-mailing Sara with a mailing address. The registration deadline is June 14th. More information can also be found on our website at www.academia.org .
Good Luck and Thank You!
