- **Event Name**: Chancellor’s Colloquium: Debate on Public Funding for Research
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 17 Feb, 2026 at 05:30 pm
- **Event Description**: I'm excited to announce that on Tuesday, February 17, at the Mondavi Center, the next installment in the Chancellor’s Colloquium Distinguished Speaker Series will be a robust but civilized debate about whether scientific research should be publicly funded.

Arguing in favor of that viewpoint will be Jon Hartley, an economist specializing in finance, labor economics and macroeconomics who is a policy fellow at the Hoover Institution. Arguing against public funding for research will be John Early, a mathematical economist and adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute. The moderator is Carrie Sheffield, a senior policy analyst for the Independent Women’s Forum.

Starting at 5:30 PM, the debate is organized by The Steamboat Institute and is part of that organization’s Campus Liberty Tour.
