What percentage of professors self-censor because they are afraid of being attacked by radical progressives and of losing prestige or possibly their jobs?
Ten years ago, I would have said 'it depends on the field'. Now, it's almost everybody.

Yes, a tenured engineering professor recently told me he refrains from telling any jokes because of the risk they might offend someone.

It's funny... I haven't seen any evidence that academia is still smart enough to be self censoring. You think that people who work for universities are still having good ideas, they're just doing it in silence?
