The American Council of Trustees and Alumni (ACTA) is an independent, nonprofit organization committed to academic freedom, academic excellence, and accountability at America’s colleges and universities. Launched in 1995, we are the only organization that works with alumni, donors, trustees, policymakers, and education leaders across the United States to support the study of the liberal arts, uphold high academic standards, safeguard the free exchange of ideas on campus, and ensure that the next generation receives a philosophically rich, high-quality college education at an affordable price.
The Program Associate in Campus Freedom advances ACTA's mission of higher education reform by supporting our work to help university leaders implement policies to promote free expression and viewpoint diversity in the academy. Primary responsibilities will include providing research, communications, and operational support for ACTA’s Campus Freedom Initiative ® (CFI) and assisting ACTA’s Paul & Karen Levy Fellow in Campus Freedom with research, writing, podcasting, and social media.
Specifically, the Program Associate in Campus Freedom will perform the following tasks:
· Prepare reports on college and university policies concerning free speech and academic freedom.
· Support the Paul & Karen Levy Fellow in Campus Freedom with research and drafting for op-eds, social media posting, and podcasting.
· Assist with research and writing for major reports on campus freedom issues and ACTA guides on best practices for higher education leaders, especially trustees.
· Conduct research, draft statements and letters, and coordinate communications for rapid response efforts.
· Provide logistical and operational support for CFI, including managing Salesforce entries, collecting campus freedom content for ACTA reports and promotional materials, assisting with the department’s communications campaigns, and coordinating with other ACTA departments.
· Under the direction of CFI leadership, help to organize ACTA’s campus freedom events and webinar programs, including selecting participants, marketing events, managing logistics, and communicating with constituents.
The Program Associate in Campus Freedom must approach these tasks as an entrepreneurial enterprise, requiring an understanding of and proactive approach to ACTA’s programs. The Program Associate in Campus Freedom is expected to be personable, dynamic, well organized, highly motivated, principled, and to act with the highest degree of personal responsibility, accountability, and honesty.
The Program Associate in Campus Freedom will report to ACTA’s Paul & Karen Levy Fellow in Campus Freedom. This is envisioned as a Washington, DC-based position. A hybrid (remote/in-office) work arrangement is possible.
Candidates should have a bachelor's degree in a humanities or social science discipline and demonstrated interest and/or experience in higher education, the legal sector, or public policy. A background in data literacy, data analytics, or legal research and analysis is a plus.
