Serious question: If the whole point of tenure, historically, was to protect professors who express controversial views, why do so few tenured professors today express controversial views? What are some specific reasons? (I'm working on an article about this.)
Yep, I think there is a real problem of 'pluralistic ignorance' with centrist/conservative professors not being able to find one another, and assuming they're completely alone.

So on one hand you don't think controversial views are expressed enough but then you think "centrist" thinkers can't find each other? What really is your argument/agenda?

Read all the pieces I wrote for Quillette on free speech and get back to me if you have a more specific query.
