CNN's Lou Dobbs to speak at Roger Williams University

Salman Rushdie. Gary Bauer. Bob Geldof. Lou Dobbs.

The group doesn't have much in common, but that's the point.

All have been invited to speak at Roger Williams University; Dobbs rounds out the group on Jan. 31, when he's slated to speak to students and the public as part of the school's Civil Discourse lecture series.

“Civil Discourse is designed to bring to campus as many points of view as possible,” University President Roy J. Nirschel said in a statement.

"... Whether they agree with him or not, Lou Dobbs will certainly energize our students.”

A Harvard graduate, Dobbs is an award-winning journalist who has worked with CNN since 1980.

He left the news network in 1999 to start Space.com, an astronomy Web site, and returned to CNN in 2001. He now hosts the Lou Dobbs Financial Report and Lou Dobbs Tonight, a popular show which has been criticized for presenting unclear or false items during its discussions on immigration.
