My alma mater, Indiana University, is in the bottom ten of the college free speech rankings — dropping 18 spots since last year. IU definitely has illiberal student attitudes. But the big killer is the administration's censorship of students and faculty over the last five years.

"Experiencing open inquiry and that process, having to grapple and have their views challenged" sets students up to be better "adult citizens in our country, once they graduate." 📑: FIRE’s Sean Stevens 🖥️: Fox News foxnews.com/media/harvard-…

Prospective students and parents should read these rankings and make college decisions accordingly. Colleges are not an undifferentiated blob. There are many schools (including elite schools) that respect free speech and maintain institutional neutrality. Choose those schools.
