Alan Charles Kors is a distinguished historian and intellectual freedom advocate, renowned for his incisive critiques of academic censorship and the erosion of free speech on university campuses. A professor emeritus of history at the University of Pennsylvania, Kors has dedicated his career to exploring the philosophical underpinnings of liberty, drawing on Enlightenment ideals to challenge modern institutional betrayals. His seminal work, The Shadow University: The Betrayal of Liberty on America's Campuses, co-authored with Harvey A.

Through his scholarship and activism, Kors continues to champion the principles of open inquiry and individual rights, influencing debates on campus culture and beyond.
