Why Are Conservative Commencement Speakers Disappearing From American Universities?

May 15, 2026 · 00:28:46

About This Episode

Michael Smerconish speaks with Princeton professor Robert P. George about the growing lack of conservative commencement speakers at America’s top universities — and what that says about viewpoint diversity in higher education. They discuss political bias on campus, free speech, commencement controversies, AI in academia, and Princeton’s decision to end its 133-year unproctored exam tradition amid concerns about cheating and artificial intelligence. Original air date 13 May 2026. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
