Survey reveals one-third of college professors are self-censoring due to campus backlash fears.

A recent survey by the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) found that many college professors feel pressured to self-censor due to concerns over backlash from students, colleagues, or administrators. About one-third of faculty have toned down their writing, and a quarter feel unable to speak freely. Despite these findings, university leaders have not admitted to failing to uphold free speech. The report highlights a climate of fear and self-censorship on campuses, especially among faculty with minority political views.
