Stanley Muroff Civil Liberties Forum
Civil rights and liberties are the cornerstone of freedom and should be jealously guarded.  Public policy plays a major role in the protection of our liberties, as well as their erosion.  The importance of civil liberties has taken on special significance in the post-9/11 America.  In light of this new significance, The John Glenn School of Public Affairs established the Stanley Muroff Civil Liberties Forum in 2004.  The Muroff Forum brings faculty, staff, students and community members together for discussion of timely and highly relevant civil rights and civil liberties issues.
