RNN, a regional cable news network covering New York City, Connecticut, New Jersey, the Hudson Valley and upstate New York, will be airing an hour-long special on campus political environments and academic freedom. I participated in a panel discussion taped for the show yesterday at Columbia University. Clips from Brainwashing 101 may also be shown.

The program runs from 8PM to 9PM (ET) tonight on RNN. If your cable provider does not carry RNN, you can watch the program on the web as it airs. (Unfortunately, the show is only streamed and not archived; if you miss it, you will not be able to view it on their site in the future.)

Throughout the show, the network solicits viewer feedback on the topics presented. If you wish to call in or have your e-mail presented on the show, you may contact RNN at:

Don’t be shy about calling in or writing! The producers asked me to publicize this information to help ensure a balanced response from the audience.

Update: Unfortunately, it looks like RNN cut out the most interesting portions of the discussion, such as when Donna Lieberman from the NYCLU compared conservatives with holocaust deniers to explain why conservative views are so vastly underrepresented in higher education. I called her on that, and it got quite heated.
