Robert ShibleyVice President
Robert L. Shibley, FIRE's Vice President, is a native of Toledo, Ohio, and a graduate of Duke University and Duke University School of Law. Robert's undergraduate experience serving as the managing editor of the Duke Review newspaper, which frequently decried (and faced) administrative censorship and bias, led him to a career defending the rights of college and university students and faculty members. Since starting at FIRE in 2003, Robert has aided students and faculty members at dozens of colleges and universities. As Vice President, along with traveling to various campuses to speak about First Amendment issues, Robert has represented FIRE publicly in both national and international radio interviews and published editorials in the New York Post, Providence Journal, Daily Oklahoman, and other newspapers. He is also chairman of the board of Valley Christian School in Huntingdon Valley, Pa.
