In research by Inside Higher Education and Hanover Research, over 60% of nearly 2000 faculty surveyed cited federal and state government intervention and the proliferation/intrusion of artificial intelligence. In addition, “Hundreds of respondents reported all kinds of self-censorship. Nearly half—47 percent—of faculty members said that they’re refraining from making extramural utterances, such as posting on Facebook, because of the situation on their campus or the political environment at large. Another 43 percent reported refraining from communicating with students about certain topics in and out of class, and 24 percent said they’re holding back from researching or publishing on certain topics they would otherwise pursue. The results were similar across tenured, tenure-track, and non-tenure-track faculty members.” Read more here.
