Hostile Foreign Nations Are Influencing American Universities; Greater Transparency Is Needed

American universities are supposed to be the exemplar of what makes this country great. And yet malign foreign influence has been eroding the integrity of American higher education for years.

Senate Hearing Highlights Urgent Problem of Left-Wing Political Violence

“It’s a both sides problem, and both sides need to tone down the rhetoric.” That’s the mantra we have heard repeatedly after each violent political attack over the last 15 months.

America Has a Jihad Problem. How Will We Defeat It?

Congress Says “No More” to Chinese Interference on College Campuses

When it comes to national sovereignty, the focus is, rightfully, on the nation’s southern border, which had been woefully unprotected in the years before President Donald Trump returned to the White House.
