Description
The fight over free speech on college campuses will once again descend on Stanford, when Peter Thiel and a slate of well-known academics from around the country take the stage at the GSB this weekend. What exactly does a “Conference on Academic Freedom” entail, and why have some high-profile professors vehemently criticized it? Senior staff writer Grace Carroll sat down with the latter, to discuss Thiel’s tricky history of free speech, the racist accusations plaguing the conference’s most incendiary speakers, and ask the question: has Stanford been trolled?
