Our Impact

Foundational Pillars

To achieve our goal of creating an academic culture where different points of view are valued in the pursuit of knowledge, discovery, growth, and innovation, we focus our work on four areas.

1
Research and Evidence

We gather and publish data through our annual Campus Expression Survey. Throughout the year, we amplify mission-oriented research on our HxA Blog and from our Center For Academic Pluralism.

2
Public Awareness

We elevate the voices of our team and our members in the national media and on our own channels to demonstrate the value of heterodox thinking in the academy.

3
Member Activation

We work with our HxA members to organize events, workshops, and communities to advance the principles of open inquiry, viewpoint diversity, and constructive disagreement across higher education.

4
Campus Engagement

We put our mission into practice by providing support, tools, and resources to help members engage in work to promote HxA values in their disciplines and on their campuses.
