Former CN Fellow Jordan Fabian appears on Fox News

Jordan Fabian, a Collegiate Network fellow at The Hill for 2009-10, appeared live on Fox News Aug. 26 with Greta Van Susteren, host of the show "On the Record."

Fabian weighed in on whether members of Congress should read the entire text of bills before voting on them. The topic was sparked by Democratic Senator Max Baucus, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee and one of the chief authors of the healthcare law. Van Susteren said Baucus reportedly told a voter at a Tuesday town hall meeting in Montana, "I don't think you want me to waste my time to read every page of the health care bill. You know why? It's statutory language. We hire experts." To read the full text of the show, click here. See another picture from the show here. For Fabian's article on the subject, click here

Fabian currently works as a staff writer at The Hill and is a 2009 graduate of Cornell University, where he was Editor-at-Large of CN publication The Cornell Review. Fabian also has completed internships with The American and The Weekly Standard. His articles have been posted on www.drudgereport.com numerous times, and he has appeared as a guest on MSNBC.

 
CN alumnus named president of The King's College

Collegiate Network alumnus Dinesh D'Souza has recently been named president of The King's College, one of the top Christian liberal arts schools in the country.

D'Souza previously worked as a policy analyst in the Reagan White House and has written several New York Times best-selling books, including "What's So Great About Christianity" and "The Enemy at Home: The Cultural Left and Its Responsibility for 9/11." 

D'Souza graduated from Dartmouth College in 1983 and helped found one of the CN's first publications, The Dartmouth Review. The newspaper, which will celebrate its 30th anniversary this year, is credited as having spawned a movement of politically conservative independent U.S. college newspapers. Many of these papers, including The Yale Free Press, Harvard Salient, California Review, Princeton Tory and Cornell Review, are still members of the CN today.

D'Souza will assume his position at The King's College at the beginning of the fall semester. The school, located in the Empire State Building of New York City, is listed by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute as one of the top 50 colleges for conservatives.
