The LSU Foundation announced the university will be creating a lecture series in honor of Charlie Kirk.

The “Let Freedom Ring” lecture series will offer a wide variety of viewpoints to allow for intentional and civil public dialogue, the announcement says. The series will include speakers of diverse backgrounds and socio-political viewpoints on timely public issues.

“In the wake of the assassination of American political activist and media personality Charlie Kirk, LSU seeks to be the first university in the country to tangibly reassert its commitment to civil discourse and freedom of speech,” the announcement reads. “A wide variety of viewpoints enhances learning and prepares students for public leadership. We are establishing a public lecture series devoted to this cause.”

The university plans for this lecture series to extend into the future. The announcement says it needs $50,000-$100,000 to start the initiative, then $50,000 per year the series continues. The money will be donated through the LSU Foundation.

Kirk, a prominent conservative activist who founded Turning Point USA, was shot and killed at a university in Utah Wednesday on the first stop of his The American Comeback Tour. He planned to take his tour to LSU at the end of October.

Kirk’s suspected killer, Tyler Robinson, is reportedly in custody.

“Politically motivated violence of this nature is intended to instill fear in the populace and to force conformity of political, social and economic thought,” the announcement reads. “Antithetical to core American and LSU values, such extreme violence must be met with intentional and civil dialogue that will educate our community and give them the tools to engage in and promote reasoned civic discourse.”
