The Cornell Free Speech Alliance (CornellFSA, CFSA) is a faculty/alumni organization created to support free speech at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. It claims over 100 faculty members as subscribers/supportersand 6,000 supporters and followers generally.
Overview
[edit]The Cornell Free Speech Alliance was founded by real-estate developer Carl Neuss, of the Cornell Class of 1976. The University had asked him to donate a seven-figure amount, but after talking with faculty, he decided that the money would be better spent helping to create an organization devoted to free speech at Cornell.[1]
CFSA is one of five organizations at different universities that founded the Alumni Free Speech Alliance.
Activities
[edit]The Cornell Free Speech Alliance publishes an annual report on the state of free speech at Cornell, podcasts, a quarterly newsletter.
CFSA is best-known for its outcry against the removal of a statue of Abraham Lincoln from display by the University, led by CFSA member Professor Randy Wayne, an outcry that resulted in the statue being put back on display.[2]
