Pepperdine Students Rally for Ideological Balance in Speaker Series
Students gathered April 7 to protest President’s Speaker Series guest, Canadian author and psychologist Jordan Peterson.
With nearly 40 people in attendance, students joined together in a peaceful protest just outside of campus on John Tyler Road. They aimed to communicate their objection to Peterson’s politics and what they believe is a lack of viewpoint diversity in the guest speakers invited to campus for the series.
“Our main point in this protest is just try to get some ideological diversity on campus because we’ve had so many different conservative speakers, but not many liberal speakers,” said Olivia Berryman, senior and president of the College Democrats.
