²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵAPP¹ÙÍø

One of ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵAPP¹ÙÍø’s longest-serving employees, Robert Shibley began at ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵAPP¹ÙÍø straight out of Duke Law School in 2003, with the intention of doing nonprofit work for a couple of years before finding a permanent job. This lasted 19 years, including six as ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵAPP¹ÙÍø’s executive director. During his time at ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵAPP¹ÙÍø, Robert launched ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵAPP¹ÙÍø’s first major litigation initiative, traveled to dozens of campuses to speak about the First Amendment and Title IX issues on campus, and oversaw ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵAPP¹ÙÍø’s expansion into off-campus issues before a stint representing students and faculty members in private practice at the firm of Allen Harris PLLC. 

Having realized things on campus were even worse than he had believed, Robert returned to ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵAPP¹ÙÍø as Special Counsel for Campus Advocacy in order to finish the job he started: restoring free speech and due process to America’s college campuses. Robert is the author of , from Encounter Books. His writing has appeared everywhere from The Wall Street Journal to The Washington Post, USA Today, and TIME, and he has appeared on national and international broadcasts including the BBC and NPR, The O’Reilly Factor, CNN Tonight, Tucker Carlson Tonight, and (perhaps most famously) Dr. Phil.
