Not enough Conservative faculty? Off with your funding!
Horowitz voices his support at Mesa State, for Colorado Higher Education Commission Exec Director Tim Foster's proposal that colleges and universities that don't adopt conservative faculty quotas have their funding cut off:
Some are concerned about the bill's enforcement if it is adopted.
Although the actual enforcement of the bill isn’t in his proposal, “it doesn’t really matter,” Horowitz said. He’s just hoping it’s a wake-up call that allows the “decent others” to overcome their fear of the “left.”
"We just want to have exposure or at least an acknowledgement that alternate viewpoints exist,” said Ryan Call, Horowitz’s organizer in Colorado with Students for Academic Freedom, a group of students supporting the bill.
Horowitz admits he doesn’t know how his bill will be codified or enforced.
“Personally, I hope it’s tied to funding, somehow,” he said.
Oh, and he engages in more 'civil discourse':
“This is a Leftist culture — it’s obvious,” he said. “You have to be blind or dishonest to ignore that.”
