Wheatley Institution

The Jack and Mary Lois Wheatley Institute of Brigham Young University (BYU) is a think tank whose mission is to "lift society by preserving and strengthening its core institutions".[1] As of 2022, the institute's director is Paul S. Edwards,[2] who succeeded Richard N. Williams,[3] its first director.[4]

The organization started in 2007 and was founded through the efforts of Jack Wheatley. Wheatley previously spent more than 20 years on the board of Stanford University's Hoover Institution and wanted BYU's Wheatley Institute to fulfill a similar role.

The Wheatley Institute regularly invites outside speakers. In 2021, speaker-guests included Mitt Romney,[5] Robert D. Putnam,[6] and Rabbi Meir Soloveichik.[7]

Previously, the Wheatley Institute hosted guests such as Zbigniew Brzezinski and Condoleezza Rice. These visits were organized by former senior fellow at the Wheatley Institute, Amos Jordan.

In October 2009, the Wheatley Institute sponsored a symposium opposing the New Atheism.[8]

During the 2012–2013 academic year, the institute sponsored a series of speakers on scientism. Speakers included Daniel N. Robinson, Peter Hacker, Richard G. Swinburne, Bas van Fraassen, Lawrence Principe, Kenneth F. Schaffner, and Roger Scruton.

The Wheatley Institute's Executive Council consists of:[9]
