Dean Richard E. Redding of Chapman Law School, author of The Politically Correct University: Problems, Scope, and Reforms, will speak about how the politically correct imperative to promote “diversity”–of race, ethnicity, and gender, but not of ideas–has diverted higher education from its true purposes. Dean Redding will discuss empirical research on the role of conservative professors and students in the academy; nuanced explorations of how the reverence for diversity plays out in practice; and some suggestions for how the politically correct university might be reformed,including implications for affirmative action policies as well as scholarship and teaching in the legal academy. Lunch will be served.
