5 Big Questions for Ed Yingling

When Ed Yingling realized free speech was under threat at his alma mater, he joined up with fellow alum Stuart Taylor to create Princetonians for Free Speech. Soon after, the pair realized that their group had the potential to bring together alumni to challenge cancel culture at colleges across the country, in an organization they have termed the Alumni Free Speech Alliance (AFSA).

Within a year, Davidson College Alumni had assembled a group for the same purpose. As the project grew, Yingling connected to University of Virginia and Washington & Lee alumni, and later found a group of Cornell University alumni who had the same goal in mind.

These five founding groups are only the beginning. After announcing the creation of AFSA in the Wall Street Journal, Yingling says, “In the last week, we have received emails from over 40 groups at different colleges that want to set this up…It’s going to be a national movement, and it’s because you’re tapping into a lot of frustration with alumni, and they just didn’t know how to organize.”
