I think it’s worthwhile to say that though the U. of Chicago places a higher level of importance than other universities of its level on free expression, it certainly isn’t immune to the progressive sensibilities of the day. (Note the English Department’s mandate about new PhD. candidates.) Even the report (Largest ever free speech survey of college students ranks top campuses for expression) cited in this discussion is a relative ranking that implies a big gap between Chicago’s score and the maximum. In other words, it’s the “winner” in a very weak field where free expression is concerned.
