Toni Airaksinen

Toni Airaksinen is a journalist with a focus on First Amendment lawsuits, censorship, exposing academic fraud, and due process rights for students on college campuses.

During her tenure as a journalist, she has written more than 2,300 articles. Notably, she blew the lid off the 2017 academic fraud plot orchestrated by James Lindsey and Professor Peter Boghossian, in which they submitted hoax papers to academic journals. She also exposed the University of Texas Masculinity Program, which infamously told male students to “take control over their gender identity and develop a healthy sense of masculinity.” This exposure was covered by dozens of domestic and international news websites, leading to the school altering, then ultimately dismantling the program.

She has a BA from Barnard College.

Her work has appeared in the New York Daily News, Legal Insurrection, Quillette Magazine, and USA Today College. She lives in New Jersey.
