Symposium "The Real Price of Intelligence"

In the last several years, the extent of the United States’ intelligence gathering apparatus, both foreign and domestic, has been laid bare before the world. As future policy professionals dealing with both conventional and non-conventional security issues; we seek to examine our roles and responsibilities in maintaining our society’s balance between security and liberty.The Symposium will focus on the ethical considerations that intelligence gathering entities and policymakers alike face on a daily basis. Symposiums are designed to engage both panelists and the audience in straightforward, candid conversation that draws upon central questions: Can a safe society be a free society? Can consent of the governed be reconciled with often necessary secrecy?
