How Campus Reform, a Tiny Conservative News Outlet, Pioneered the Attack on Colleges

Campus Reform, a small conservative news outlet, has played a significant role in shaping the national conversation about alleged left-leaning bias and antisemitism on college campuses. Founded in 2009, the site gained influence by publishing stories that highlight what it sees as liberal dominance and free speech issues in higher education, often using reports from student freelancers. Its editor, Zachary Marschall, has filed numerous civil rights complaints against universities, leading to federal investigations and policy changes under the Trump administration.

The outlet's tactics, including naming individuals in its coverage, have drawn criticism from faculty and academic freedom advocates, who argue that it fosters harassment and distorts campus life. Despite this, Campus Reform's approach has been widely adopted by other conservative groups and has contributed to a broader movement challenging diversity initiatives and protest activities at universities. The debate over its impact reflects deeper cultural divides over free speech, academic freedom, and the role of higher education in society.
