FIRE gets $2.5M Templeton grant for free speech and academic freedom

“FIRE is grateful to the Templeton Foundation for its generous investment in the fight to defeat censorship and preserve academic freedom on campus,” said FIRE President and CEO Greg Lukianoff. “The grant will give FIRE tremendous resources to engage a wider audience and better understand the current attitudes and arguments about campus rights. FIRE has been eager to pursue a project like this since our founding in 1999. The Templeton Foundation has now made it a reality.”

    FIRE fills a unique role doing much needed work with universities. They have set some things straight at UO. I’m glad to see them getting this gift. I hope they cause lots of worthy universities lots of trouble!
