The @TheFIREorg "Ten Worst Colleges for Free Speech" for 2020 has arrived: https://www.thefire.org/10-worst-colleges-for-free-speech-2020/ …
Unsurprisingly, @Harvard is still on the list (they'll probably be top 10 forever), but note the surprise Lifetime Censorship Award win for @rpi!
Well, also, that particular list is for free speech specifically. There are other "freedom" issues that are not speech-related, such as if a school _only_ admitted Catholics, that is not a free speech problem per se, but it clearly has other implications for "freedom" in general.

But in general, I don't know that FIRE pays much attention to private schools which _say_ they do not permit speech up front, because then it is clear to prospective students. They are more concerned with universities that claim to support freedom of speech and then don't.

Right. I think that's the exact distinction between what deserves a warning on their metrics and what deserves a red score.
