I think both the original tweet and the response here actually rather miss the point a bit.
@jbouie hits on it later in the thread though: its not individual professors that are shaping, but the overall climate of debate.
But the climate is bad! 1/11https://twitter.com/jbouie/status/1468011026708848641 …
A YouGov survey last year reported some 60% of students report that they avoid expressing some political views out of concern. That's some chilled speech! By the by, the same survey notes that black and female students self-censor more. 2/11https://www.thefire.org/largest-ever-free-speech-survey-of-college-students-ranks-top-campuses-for-expression/ …
Those figures are substantially worst than a similar survey done in 2017 (https://www.thefire.org/research/publications/student-surveys/student-attitudes-free-speech-survey/ …), suggesting that the situation in terms of campus speech, which was improving through the 90s and early aughts, is now getting worse again. 3/11
What's really striking is how consistently the degree of speech chilling corresponds to the actual policies universities implement. Schools with bad speech codes and which take speech-retaliatory hiring/retention decisions leave students feeling chilled. 4/11
And there's a not-trivial amount of that happening: Its easy to dismiss those figures, but academic fields are small and lots of people know each other: you can chill a lot of speech with one or two high-profile firings. 5/11https://twitter.com/glukianoff/status/1466768444980965381 …
For what it is worth, I was advised by no less than four different tenured mentors during my grad school journey to keep my politics secret. At three different schools. My politics aren't even remotely exciting. This tells me there is a problem, at least of perception! 6/11
So @jbouie is right, this isn't a 'professors are doing indoctrination' issue. But there *is* a question here as to if universities, as organizations, are set up to encourage diverse, original, and sometimes difficult thought, or to encourage conformity. 7/11
The good news, just looking at TheFire's data, is that this is a problem that seems to be subject to policy influence: schools with good speech policies generally showed less chilled campus speech. So this is a fixable issue! The bad news is we're not fixing it. 8/11
My own sense - supported by the data I've seen - is that students do 'hear' the overall message of university policy, diffused a hundred ways. And in many places, that message is, "conformity makes our PR and legal department's job easier, so conform." Not a good message! 9/11
It seems to me that universities that wanted to could take some fairly basic steps to reinforce a culture of free inquiry and open debate. They don't need to invite the firebrand fool of the day, they just need to set policies that protect speech... 9/11
...reiterate a commitment to open debate and back that up by refusing to allow the university's internal power over hiring/retention/student conduct to be used to stifle speech. Alas, my sense is many unis are going in the other direction. end/11
