Other University Supporters

One of the early goals of Urban Debate Leagues was to improve the relationship between colleges and universities and the high schools in great need of support for their programs. The UDL in Atlanta, as well as its growth in other cities, would not have been possible without the active support of many colleges and universities throughout the nation where faculty and staff have developed a strong commitment to the growth of debate as a form of educational empowerment. The Barkley Forum would like to publicly thank the following institutions for their commitment to the Urban Debate League.
