Call for Applicants to our Executive Board
The Federalist Society at Northwestern is looking for new
members to be on the Executive Board for the 2013-14 academic year. If interested, please notify our e-mail address (federalist-society@nlaw.northwestern.edu).
The Federalist Society is a non-partisan conservative and
libertarian organization dedicated to freedom, federalism, and judicial
restraint. The Federalist Society seeks to educate the legal community through
its programs and publications about how limited constitutional government based
on the rule of law can have a positive effect on law and public policy.
If any of these ideals sound appealing to you, we'd love to
hear from you.

Richard Redding to speak at Northwestern
Richard Redding, Professor of Law and Psychology at Chapman University, will speak on Thursday, March 7 at 12 noon in RB 150. He will argue that the culture of political correctness has a significant influence on American higher education.
In The Politically Correct University: Problems, Scope, and Reforms (AEI Press, 2009), Robert Maranto, Richard E. Redding, and Frederick M. Hess examine 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. The book offers empirical research on the role of conservative professors and students in the academy; explorations of how the reverence for diversity plays out in practice; the legal and educational history of “diversity,” and 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.
