Appalachian State University
The Appalachian State University Campus Community promotes academic freedom, free speech, and viewpoint diversity for Appalachian's faculty, students, and staff.
Appalachian's Heterodox Campus Community recognizes academic freedom, free speech, and viewpoint diversity as fundamental to the life of the university. The rise of enforced orthodoxy within academic culture threatens the open inquiry and robust exchange of ideas that must define academic life if universities are to play a relevant role in contemporary culture.
As custodians of the university, the faculty must protect and defend academic freedom, research, and free speech. Our Campus Community is committed to advocacy and community-building in support of these values.
Do you believe in open inquiry? A group of courageous professors and students have come together on the Appalachian State University campus because they believe in open inquiry, too. Will you help them? Your donation will help the HxA Campus Community at Appalachian State University put on events that support the cause of open inquiry. As a supporter, you will receive invitations to HxA campus events, and updates on HxA activities on your campus and on other campuses all around the country.
