Chronicle of Higher Education Online, February 3, 2009
Campus centers that support traditional teaching about America's founding will get a $2-million infusion from two organizations that have been instrumental in starting some of the centers. Most of the money will be used for centers that already exist, but some could be spent to create new ones. About $1-million will go to three existing centers: the Program on Western Civilization and American Institutions at the University of Texas at Austin, the Program on Constitutional Democracy at the University of Virginia, and the Tocqueville Forum at Georgetown University.
"These are three flagship programs," said James Piereson, chairman of the Veritas Fund, which is part of the Manhattan Institute's Center for the American University. Another $1-million will go to other existing centers or proposals for new ones, said Mr. Piereson. . .
Thoughts on any of these programs?
