Abstract | Over the past few decades, conservatives have watched universities move away from encouraging and protecting a broad ideological spectrum of reasoned debate toward an ever-narrowing range of acceptable speech. A 2020 report about one flagship public university illustrates the degree to which today's cancel culture chills open inquiry: 75 percent of self-identified conservative undergraduates and 26 percent of self-identified liberal undergraduates were concerned that what they said in an in-person classroom discussion would lower classmates' opinions of them, and 43 percent of self-identified conservatives and 10 percent of self-identified liberals were worried their classroom comments would be shared on social media. While students fear each other, professors fear students' bias response complaints. In addition to freedom of speech, freedoms of association and religion have also been chilled. Schools have banned single-sex organizations and prohibited faith-based student organizations from setting rules for membership and leadership roles consistent with their beliefs, and students have pushed others out of student government because of their religious beliefs. This brief report discusses how conservatives can work towards building up a free expression culture at more universities. (ERIC). |
