This is your weekly reminder that Campus Reform is a toxic website that engages in the rankest forms of cancel culture. It expends an enormous amount of energy trying to silence liberal profs, and very often succeeds.

It's a cliche about campus politics today that while leftwing attacks on academic freedom tend to come from on campus, rightwing ones come from off campus. But looking at CR's structural model, I'm not so sure that's the case. It's still coming from on campus -- just indirectly.
It makes you wonder. Ten years ago, would the same conservatives students who are now submitting stories to Campus Reform have been, instead, founding student clubs, mobilizing campus protests, etc.?
Why found The Dartmouth Review when CR pays better, is better designed, and has a national reach? Why invest in conservative infrastructure on campus when YAF and CR are right there, eager to recruit you to their cause?
