“Public universities,” Christopher Rufo wrote on August 11 on X (formerly Twitter), “are not a ‘free marketplace of ideas.’” [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] This provocative statement doesn’t fully convey Rufo’s views on the subject; he’s noted elsewhere that universities should be an “environment of open, substantive debate.” But as a trustee at New College of Florida, Rufo has demonstrated the limits of his tolerance for ideas that differ from his own. Rufo has begun the process of helping abolish the popular Gender Studies department at the public liberal arts school, presenting the act as a routine part of college governance.
