FROM THE FOUNDATION FOR INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS AND EXPRESSION: “The sixth annual College Free Speech Rankings, released today by the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression and survey partner College Pulse, show a continued decline in support for free speech among all students, but particularly conservatives. Students of every political persuasion exhibit a deep reluctance to engage with controversial ideas. The survey, which is the most comprehensive look at campus expression in the country, ranked 257 schools based on 68,510 student responses to a wide array of free speech-related questions. 166 of the 257 schools surveyed got an F for their speech climate.” Read the report here.
