Jefferson Center for the Protection of Free Expression, in
Charlottesville, Virginia (http://www.tjcenter.org).
The Center is affiliated with the University of Virginia, where O’Neil
continues to teach Law School courses in the First Amendment field,
including a new seminar on Free Expression in Cyberspace.
His two decades of administrative service included a term as Vice

University and as President of the University of Wisconsin before coming

O’Neil is a Director of the Commonwealth Fund, and a Trustee of
TIAA-CREF and of the National Coalition Against Censorship. He recently

Coalition for Open Government.
He serves currently on the National Academy of Sciences Committee on
Privacy in the Information Age. He is the author of several books, most
recently The First Amendment and Civil Liability, published late in
2001, and many law review articles.
O’Neil is married to the former Karen Elson, a secondary school English
teacher, department chair and college counselor. Their four children are

Harvard Law School; their son David clerked last year for U.S. Supreme
