Yesterday the Salt Lake Tribune wrote a hit piece on the college. Below is our response. They've since made a couple of minor corrections, but that's all.

This morning the Salt Lake Tribune published an article on the winding down of George Wythe University. We read with interest and while some of it was accurate, we were quite disappointed in a number of misleading statements that were 180 degrees from the truth. These had both the specific and cumul…

Thanks to the bold and inspired example of our Founding Fathers, people around the world increasingly enjoy the blessings of freedom. Let us not forget that these gifts must be vigilantly protected.

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
- President Ronald Reagan

At George Wythe University we strive to honor of the Declaration by teaching and studying the principles of freedom and its dependence upon a people committed to lives of virtue. We invite our neighbors, family and friends to do the same.

If you've ever wondered what a GWU class is like, next Tuesday may be the perfect opportunity sit in on a discussion. Our American Literature class meets on Jan 20 at 6:00pm MST for a 3-hour discussion on The Scarlet Letter and we'd love for you to join us. After your visit (either online or on-campus), you'll have a week to choose whether you'd like to enroll in the class, either to receive either BA or MA credit or as an auditing student with the option to convert the class to credit later.

This class will explore literary classics that represent key historic periods in American culture, ranging from Puritan New England to the Great Depression South. Students will examine the influence of these classics on our understanding of American History, as well as the impact of these books on society as agents of change for better or worse, both then and now. To learn more about this class, click here: http://www.gw.edu/academics/15w_evening_classes/

For those desiring to continue their education without course credit, a reduced auditing price of $500 is available for this course. For more information about auditing see our website: http://www.gw.edu/academics/15w_audit/
