Students entering college this fall can expect a culture of conformity and censorship according to a new FIRE survey of more than 55,000 students across the country shows that most attend colleges that don’t value free expression.
Skidmore earns FIRE’s worst, “red light” rating, which usually means a school has at least one policy that clearly and substantially restricts free speech.
The largest survey on student free expression ever conducted adds 45,000 student voices to the national conversation about free speech on college campuses — and finds that many are afraid to speak out on their campus.
The largest survey for campus free expression ranks over 150 top colleges, and two-thirds of students report some level of acceptance for speaker shout-downs.
FIRE participated in a webinar hosted by the Institute for Humane Studies where we focused on what our data for the 2020 College Free Speech Rankings can tell us about self-censorship and race on campus.
A few weeks ago FIRE held a faculty webinar where we reviewed the main findings of our 2020 College Free Speech Rankings and then took questions from the attendees.
