Originally launched by the well-known political philosopher David Schmidtz in 2008, the Freedom Center initially attracted (mostly pointless) controversy for its Koch funding, but in recent years it has benefitted from direct (!) appropriations from the state legislature. But the current controversy is different: some University of Arizona philosophy faculty, including some previously involved with the Center, are objecting to unilateral and opaque decision-making by Professor Schdmitz. Even an external review of the Center confirmed concerns about this.
