Lancaster online: ‘Academic freedom’ hearings: The end or the beginning?
A state House committee is close to finishing its investigation into whether a liberal bias permeates the classrooms of Pennsylvania’s 14 state-owned universities.
The committee on higher education, chaired by state Rep. Gibson Armstrong, convened its final hearing Thursday in Harrisburg and is expected to issue a report by the end of the month.
The committee, however, also could request a five-month extension.
Following 10 months of hearings during which students, faculty and administrators testified before the committee, it’s uncertain if the group will recommend legislation.
