Andrew Bolt and Rob Watts debate

Andrew Bolt from the Herald-Sun and Prof Rob Watts from RMIT University debate:

"Groupthink and the University Left"
Friday 25th of November - 12:30 to 2:00
RMIT University Storey Hall, Swanston St
Presented by the School of Social Science and Planning

Columnist Andrew Bolt from the Herald-Sun has recently criticised an RMIT teacher for forwarding an email to students giving them details of an upcoming environmental protest. In a later column Bolt was again critical of an academic who postponed classes so that students could go to a protest rally. What then is the role of Universities in public life? What should be the role of academics, staff and students in today's universities?
