The University of Colorado-Boulder is attempting a “bold” new experiment — hiring a professor of “conservative thought and policy.”
Appointed to a one-year term beginning this fall, Dr. Steven Hayward joins the university thanks in part to over $1 million in private funds donated to the cause.
Long considered a liberal stronghold, the school first unveiled plans to establish a visiting scholar endowment in 2007, but the economic downturn forced it to push back the three-year pilot program. Hayward, the author of books on Ronald Reagan, Winston Churchill and the Biblical perspective on nature, has signed on for the first year.
“This is a bold experiment for the university and me to see whether the ideological spectrum can be broadened in a serious and constructive way,” Hayward commented.
Steven R. Leigh, the dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, added in a statement: “Dr. Hayward brings an impressive breadth of knowledge to this position, having researched a range of environmental, historical and political issues.”
The professor will tentatively teach three political science classes and one in environmental studies about free market environmentalism. He wants to include the conservative perspective but said he won’t advocate for conservatism in the classroom.
“I’ll teach the whole spectrum, from blue to red,” he promised.
While he expects to invite speakers to campus and hold conferences during his time in Boulder, Hayward doesn’t think he’ll be engaging in debate on “front page issues” like gun control and civil unions, which have been hotly contested in Colorado in recent months.
Jon Caldara, president of the free-market Independence Institute in Denver, expressed doubts about the program but confidence in Hayward for the Washington Times.
“What a superb choice — [Hayward's] work speaks for itself, and he’s got an incredible reputation,” Caldara said. “He’s going to be an anomaly, but since there’s only one of him at a campus of 30,000, that’s a ratio CU can handle.”

From wiki. if this is correct, there will be packed classes.
If the powers that be are against this, he will have classrooms with seating for 30. If this is truly a look see as to the relative popularity and trend of the people, then he will be assigned auditoriums.

They’ll make sure to disinfect every classroom he teaches in before they lower themselves to spout their leftist propaganda in any classroom he teaches in, Can you imagine what the other professors will be warning their student who take his classes? They’ll be told, don’t bring his reactionary lessona to our classes. More political imbalance at the highest level of alleged academia.

One conservative professor for a university of 30,000 sounds about right for this day and age of progressive brainwashing.

Mar. 17, 2013 at 10:42amJUSTANANGRYATHEIST. For freedom is not merely a right… it is also a responsibility. With the freedom from tyranny comes the duty to do good. Were it otherwise, the Declaration of Independence might well eliminate the words “endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights” and substitute instead “permitted by their government to exercise certain negotiable rights.”
Without acknowledging that human rights come from the Supreme Being, one concedes that all human rights are conditional upon the current structure of power, the particular fad of the moment. Subjective rights are not rights at all, but merely temporary, revocable privileges.
To recognize that human rights come from God is to affirm that there is a God, and that His commandments are not subordinate to the whims of men, but instead are absolute and eternal.
In short JUST, the written Constitution embodies the highest ideals of thousands of years of Western civilization and culture but, crucially, it does not replace them.
It is vital then, to understand and embrace not only the written words of the Constitution itself, but also its underlying values. Those indispensable words are but the edifice which rests upon an equally indispensable moral foundation.

Mar. 17, 2013 at 11:59amLmao INFECTION. Adams was not the world’s best politician. But then he wasn’t nearly so bad a politician as has been assumed. Moreover, and far more important, he was a true statesman, committed to Republican principles, conducting himself in a virtuous, self-sacrificing manner that served the public good.
Without Adams, it is entirely possible that there would be no U.S.A. More than any other single delegate at the Continental Congress, he pushed both behind the scenes and on the floor for the colonies to declare their independence from Great Britain.
Adams also was the one, before independence, who nominated George Washington, then himself just another delegate, to be commander in chief of the Continental Army. Adams secured Dutch funding for the American cause, played an important role in cementing the American alliance with France that brought massive financial aid and Military assistance crucial to victory in the revolution, and negotiated the peace treaty with the British that secured our independence on favorable terms.
Again INFECTION, it’s important to point out what Adams actually was… namely a principled republican…. he was an effective supporter of public virtue.
The Alien and Sedition Acts were not Adams’ legislation, and there is substantial debate over whether he actually wanted to keep them from becoming law on account of their being bad policy despite hyperbole from some civil Libertarians.

One of the many ironies of American history, in which we are told that the great Democrat is Jefferson, the fabulously wealthy (but spendthrift) slaveowner, and the aristocrat is Adams who farmed his own land. Oh, and who never owned a slave, refused to employ the slaves of others, and consistently condemned the institution of slavery. What we have, in Adams, is a middle-class farmer and lawyer who spent the bulk of his life foregoing the making of money because he felt called to public service. Not such a bad fellow EH?
