I mean I looked at the first page and I see someone screwing up and apologizing, some fairly reasonable PR stuff, and one seemingly actually problematic thing re: student newspaper advisor being removed from that post after bad stories in the paper.

A number of these seem like freedom of association and being polite, not free speech violations. Out of tenish things on the front page no more than two are really problematic.

The only totally clear cut violation on that first page, covering over two months of cases, would be Trump admins increased surveillance of Chinese students.

Also, if the best you can do is a few dozen cases a year, most end with things being deemed mistakes or ending without any long term consequences from an organization dedicated to rooting out the evils of free speech violations on campus...

I find it very hard to take seriously that free speech is in any meaningful way under threat on campus. These read like exceptions to the general order of things that, because some folks stare at only these become the rule in their minds. They're not.

When's the last time you tried to express conservative, centrist, or libertarian ideas in an American university classroom, lab group, or faculty meeting? Just curious if you know what you're talking about.

Ben Shapiro, Ann Coultrip not allowed on campus, violence toward right leaning thinking or a MAGA hat. Just happened. If education is unwilling or unable to accept thinking that is right of center, not sure I need my tax money going their way.
