The New School for Social Research is supported and advised by a Board of Governors. Our board is committed to upholding the core values that have defined our school since its beginning as the University in Exile and to fostering an intellectual environment
that challenges orthodoxy, promotes public debate, and cultivates academic rigor.
The NSSR Board of Governors upholds our mission to create a school of free inquiry for students and faculty of different ethnicities, religions, and geographical origins who are willing to challenge academic tradition, connect social theory to empirical
observation, and take the intellectual and political risks necessary to improve social conditions.
