The '''Collegiate Network''' ('''CN''') is a program that provides financial and technical assistance to student editors and writers of roughly 100 independent, [[Conservatism in the United States|conservative]] and [[Libertarianism in the United States|libertarian]] publications at colleges and universities around the United States. Member publications have a combined annual distribution of more than two million.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Ahad-Legardy |first1=Badia |last2=Poon |first2=OiYan |title=Difficult Subjects: Insights and Strategies for Teaching about Race, Sexuality, and Gender |date=2018 |publisher=Stylus Publishing |isbn=978-1620367940}}</ref>

Since 1995, the CN has been administered by the [[Intercollegiate Studies Institute]] (ISI), a nonprofit educational organization that promotes conservative thought on college campuses, headquartered in [[Wilmington, Delaware]].<ref>{{cite book|last1=Beer|first1=Jeremy|last2=Jeffrey|first2=Nelson|last3=Frohnen|first3=Bruce|title=American Conservatism: An Encyclopedia|year=2014|publisher=Open Road Media|isbn=978-1497651579|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=T1yOAwAAQBAJ&dq=collegiate+network&pg=PT263|accessdate=25 March 2015}}</ref>

==Mission==
{{Conservatism US}}
According to its web site, CN supports college publications which "serve to focus public awareness on the politicization of American college and university classrooms, curricula, student life, and the resulting decline of educational standards."<ref>{{cite web |title=History & Mission |url=https://www.collegiatenetwork.org/about |publisher=Collegiate Network |accessdate=29 December 2018}}</ref> 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.<ref name="GutscheCampus">{{cite news|last1=Gutsche|first1=Robert|title='Right-on' gets new take at UW-Madison ; Conservative paper to bow on campus|publisher=Chicago Tribune|date=February 7, 2005|id={{ProQuest|420240001}}}}</ref>

==History==
In 1979, the [[Institute For Educational Affairs]] (IEA) responded to the request of two [[University of Chicago]] students for start-up funding for a new conservative newspaper, ''Counterpoint''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.isi.org/cn/about/history.aspx |title=Collegiate Network - About the CN - History |accessdate=February 12, 2006 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20060511165454/http://www.isi.org/cn/about/history.aspx |archivedate=May 11, 2006 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=2004-12-02|title=John J.

In 1990, the Madison Center for Educational Affairs merged with the IEA to maintain funding for what had expanded to 57 conservative student publications. The [[Intercollegiate Studies Institute]] took over operations in 1995 and has since administered the CN from [[Wilmington, Delaware]].
