Two agreements: first, indeed it does not suffice to show that there is no real problems for free speech to show that it is popular, this is a basically bad argument that has picked up too much steam. Second, I'm generally wary of the incentives university administrators face.

My disagreements: I think lots of current free speech problems come from people classifying dissenting speech as outside bounds of protected speech (I think this is part of what Stanley and Manne were getting at), and "free speech crisis" rhetoric often exacerbates this problem.

Not sure of my view, Crisis seems a bit strong. Then again, the same people I respect who dismiss it out of hand have also told me there are research topics there is no way they would risk studying, which has to raise an eyebrow.

Okay, but they wouldn't risk that research for what reason? Because they think it would cost them their job or because they think it would be a hassle or for some other reason?
