The Collegiate Network (CN) is a non-profit, non-partisan tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization that provides financial and technical assistance to student editors and writers of almost 100 independent, conservative and libertarian publications at leading colleges and universities around the country. The project was initiated by two college students at the University of Chicago. The CN estimates that member publications have a combined annual distribution of more than two million. Since 1995, the CN has been administered by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute (ISI) … Newspapers and journals in the CN regularly call attention to what they interpret as corruption and hypocrisy in campus administrations’ and student groups’ policies, argue in favor of free speech in liberal education, encourage discussion and debate, and train students in the principles and practices of journalism … More than 100 campus publications are affiliated with the CN, though the exact number varies from year to year. The CN provides assistance to these papers through annual operating grants, annual journalistic training conferences, campus mentoring sessions, editorial resources, Internet discussion groups, summer and year-long internships at leading national media outlets, and extensive guidance from experienced professionals.

«The Collegiate Network, administered by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute, exists to support «independent college newspapers that serve to focus public awareness on the politicization of American college and university classrooms, curricula, student life, and the resulting decline of educational standards.» CN provides its member-newspapers with financial grants, journalistic training and networking opportunities. The Collegiate Network’s student newspapers «serve to raise the level of discourse on the campus and provide an outlet for students to keep university faculty and administrations honest.» The CN’s parent organization, the Intercollegiate Studies Institute, «seeks to enhance the rising generation’s knowledge of our nation’s founding principles limited government, individual liberty, personal responsibility, the rule of law, market economy, and moral norms.» ISI’s first president was the conservative legend William F. Buckley.»
