This Sunday’s Humanist Forum: Recruiting ‘Intelligence’: Expanding Links Between US Intelligence Agencies and Universities
Roberto Gonzalez, Associate Professor of Anthropology at San Jose State University, will review the processes by which US intelligence agencies are stepping up efforts to recruit young people for IC (intelligence community) careers. In particular, he will examine the genesis and development of the multimillion dollar IC-CAE (Intelligence Community-Centers of Academic Excellence) program which has been introduced on 10 university campuses in recent years by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. The presentation will critically examine such programs from a cultural and historical perspective.
Next week Humanist Community members Mark Willey and Gerry Gras will discuss the question “To what extent do you think the government should attempt to help some or all of its citizens? Explain your answer in terms of your humanist values.”
This Sunday’s Humanist Community Forum will meet at 11am at Mitchell Park Community Center. The Mitchell Park Community is located at 3800 Middlefield Road, Palo Alto, Just north of Charleston Road.
