John E. Jones, III, the 30th President of Dickinson College and a former United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, speaks to our club on "the challenges and opportunities for colleges to pursue truth and free speech in an age of division".
Jones has presided over a number of high-profile cases. In 2003, he struck down portions of Shippensburg University’s speech code on the basis that it violated the First Amendment’s free speech guarantee. In 2005, he presided over the landmark case of Kitzmiller v. Dover School District, which held that it was unconstitutional to teach intelligent design within a public school science curriculum. In 2014, Jones resolved the matter of Whitewood v. Wolf by striking down as unconstitutional Pennsylvania’s ban on same-sex marriage.
