Founders' Structuralism for Campus Reform

Updated: 2026.03.25 5H ago 1 sources
Apply the Founders’ emphasis on institutional checks (structural limits on authority) to university governance: redesign policies, tenure rules, and administrative incentives so that viewpoint diversity and intellectual humility are protected by structure, not only by speech‑codes or ad hoc policing. This reframes campus reform as constitutional‑design work rather than purely cultural struggle. — If adopted, it shifts campus debates from argument‑by‑outrage to institutional redesign, affecting hiring, tenure, code enforcement, and legal challenges nationwide.
