Campus Reform is an American conservative-leaning news website focused on higher education. It is operated by Leadership Institute and its reporters are students.
Contents
In September 2015 Campus Reform said its website had received 9.3 million page views in the past year.
The news site is known for conservative journalism, where it reports on what it claims are incidents of liberal bias and restrictions on free speech on American college campuses.
The online publication maintains running list of "victories" — ranging from college policy changes to firings — on a dry-erase board at the website's Arlington, Virginia, headquarters inside the Leadership Institute.
Notable stories
In May 2012 Campus Reform called on conservative students to protest liberal speakers on campus such as Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor.
In September 2015, Campus Reform was first to report that David W. Guth, a University of Kansas associate professor of journalism had tweeted: "The blood is on the hands of the #NRA. Next time let it be YOUR sons and daughters" in reaction to the Washington Navy Yard shooting days before. The university was deluged by complaints and the university put Guth on temporary leave with pay.
