False allegations of suppressing free speech

Campus Watch Responds:

The authors of this Advocate editorial suggest to CUNY Graduate Center members that:

...we should also be thinking about ways that we can increase academic freedom and tenure and actively resist the impositions of conservative groups like Campus Watch, which threaten both the intellectual diversity and vigor of our discourse.

The work of Campus Watch is no way threatens “intellectual diversity” or the “vigor” of any group’s discourse. As stated in our mission statement, Campus Watch fully respects the freedom of speech of those it debates while insisting on its own freedom to comment on their words and deeds.
