        1 in 4 female undergrads report sexual assault. And you want to make college an "unsafe" place for students?

        Funny, that the touring academics appear to be touring punks... while students are the straight laced, mollycoddled, prissy establishment :(

        That's a great line-up! Genuine free speech warriors, none of the agenda-pushers who abuse the "free speech" mantle (not gonna name names..)

        If you want to improve education, promote disassembly of university system. Unfortunately, professors too addicted to the boondoggle.

        On your side, wishing you success. Enforcing safe speech in schools went awry and results in graduates with no critical thinking skills.
