A Q&A Series on Current Constitutional Issues
Dear IUP community,
The events in Washington, DC on January 6 have raised many questions related to the Constitution, impeachment, and free speech. They're not simple questions with simple answers, but two of our faculty members in the Department of Political Science have begun tackling some of them. I encourage you to check out their Q&A series, "Constitution in Crisis." It's a good way to begin discussions about our country and some of the strife it faces.
