Well said!
The recent posts have focused a lot on claims/fears of supposed indoctrination in the classroom. And that is often the focus of politicians on the right. But there are other factors that belong in an evaluation of the free speech climate on campus. For example, administrative support for free speech, how disruptions are handled (e.g., blockading physical access to disfavored speakers, heckling and shouting down speakers, pulling fire alarms, etc). And whatever you think of the FIRE rankings, they focus heavily on surveys of currently enrolled students. They poll the students about their comfort level discussing difficult topics and their willingness to listen to alternative viewpoints – or at least to permit others to listen to a speaker with an alternative viewpoint.
