The mission of the william f. Buckley, jr. Program is to promote intellectual diversity at yale university. We aim to expand political discourse on campus and to expose students to often-unvoiced views. We believe that ideas have consequences and that genuine intellectual diversity is essential for advancing critical inquiry and avoiding ideological complacency. Our hope is that by providing a home for a diverse collection of serious conservative thought we can provide a forum for yale students to consider and examine a range of political philosophies to which they are rarely exposed. As such, the purpose of this program is to foster open political discussion and intellectual engagement on campus.
