Going to college isn’t the same anymore, and it’s not just
the tuition that’s changed. College used to be a place
where students and professors openly explored diverse
ideas and philosophies.
But today something is missing on most college campuses:
a fair hearing for the ideas of America’s unique political
tradition. In far too many college and university classrooms
today, America’s founding history and philosophy get
short shrift. And students certainly aren’t learning about
the economic principles that create and sustain prosperity.
As a result, we see young people embracing politically
correct ideas that are taught widely in today’s universities,
with painful consequences for the future of freedom and
prosperity. We might still cheer for our college’s sports
teams, but it’s hard to feel the same about what’s going
on in the classroom.
IHS Is Transforming Higher Education
IHS supporter Bob Spaulding treasures his alma mater, a notable
liberal arts college, but stopped giving to them because he observed
an increasing lack of intellectual diversity on the campus. The stakes
are clear, as Bob wrote recently:
To restore intellectual diversity and balance on college campuses, Bob
supports IHS’s strategy to transform higher education by reaching
millions of students with our unique educational o�erings, cultivating
more professors who share our passion for freedom, and boosting the
e�orts of thousands of freedom-friendly professors in the IHS network.
“The real cost of four years in a politically correct environment is borne by the students themselves. With classes in victimology, with professors and an administration that are relentlessly progressive, and with media and campus speakers possessing a similar mindset, students are denied the liberal education, in the classic sense of the word, that they deserve.”

Bring the Ideas of Liberty to Your Alma Mater
Imagine helping students at your alma mater, but without worrying
that your money is promoting politically correct ideas. What if you
could ensure that students from the school you love learn about the
ideas of free enterprise, limited government, and individual liberty?
With a gift of $5,000 or more, you can establish a Liberty on Campus
fund for the college or university of your choice. This fund will enable
students and professors from that school to participate in the unique
educational and career programs o�ered by IHS.
The Institute for Humane Studies works with students and professors
around the country. Over the past three years, thousands of students from
more than 800 di�erent colleges and universities have bene�ted from IHS
programs, including scholarships, educational seminars, online programs,
academic career workshops, and individualized mentoring. IHS also o�ers
grants to professors to conduct freedom-advancing programs on their
campuses—such as debates, reading groups, and extracurricular seminars
—all promoting a deeper appreciation for the ideas of a free society.LibertyOnCampus.org
IHS Is Changing Students’ Lives
Stonehill College student Lexxie Monahan is one of the students who
bene�ted from IHS’s distinctive programs.
Today, Lexxie is actively promoting those ideas, working at an organiza-
tion called Students for Liberty. And there are many students like Lexxie
on every campus. Help ensure that students at your alma mater, local
college, or another school of your choice have a chance to be inspired
by the ideas of liberty by establishing a Liberty on Campus fund for the
school and students you care about.
“IHS changed my life! I was campaigning for Obama when I went to one of your weekend seminars at my school. I was so intrigued, I attended an IHS seminar the next summer. You got me totally hooked on the ideas.”
Here’s How It Works:
Your contribution of at least $5,000 establishes a Liberty on
Campus fund for the school of your choice.
IHS selects interested students and professors at that school to
participate in our programs throughout the year.
If there are no IHS-supported students, or not enough of them, at
your school, we’ll change that—increasing our marketing on that
campus to attract more students to IHS programs.
IHS works with freedom-friendly professors at that school to host
events for students and to help these professors have greater
in�uence on their campus.
In September, IHS will report back to you on the number of
students and faculty and the programs they participated in, and
give you a spending report on your fund.
