FIRE announces new Advisory Council
Leaders from a diverse spectrum of disciplines have accepted our invitation to be founding members of FIRE’s new Advisory Council. Each member brings a unique and valuable perspective to the Advisory Council and will advise FIRE staff from their respective disciplines.
“I am extremely proud of the exceptional group we put together to form FIRE’s new Advisory Council,” said FIRE President and CEO Greg Lukianoff. “The Council consists of luminaries in the fields of economics, psychology, linguistics, business, law, and, of course, freedom of speech. We look forward to benefiting from their wisdom and advice, and working with them in the years to come.”
