Letter: The real aim of FAS
The opinions that were expressed in an editorial observer about the Foreign Affairs Symposium in last week’s issue of The News-Letter exemplify a clear lack of understanding of the mission of FAS. The Foreign Affairs Symposium aims to provide a forum for thoughtful and intellectual debate. Through the events that we organize, we hope to generate discussion about current and pressing issues of international significance. If the line-up were to cater to the views of individual students, it would not be doing its job. It would only be reinforcing generally accepted views. Instead, our speakers are selected for their ability to captivate an audience and spark dialogue.
