University of Southern California
Our group believes the university’s primary mission is the pursuit of truth. We work to advance free speech, academic freedom, viewpoint diversity, and constructive disagreement at USC in order to support that mission.
We've been an official campus chapter of the Heterodox Academy since September 2024. We produce a regular newsletter which provides commentary and updates about USC and academia broadly. We also host campus events and are working to improve university rules and guidance centered around issues of academic freedom, viewpoint diversity, and constructive disagreement.
