College campuses have always been bastions of protest, where young, energetic students push older generations in the direction of the next social or political reform.
Notably, the prevailing notions of the liberal bent of college campuses are not incorrect.
According to a 2023 survey by FIRE of roughly 1,500 four-year college professors, 50% identify as liberal, 17% as moderate, and 26% as conservative.
Analysts say the recent inflammatory examples that have not only riven college campuses but altered the way many Americans view them also underscore the increasing difficulty observers in the U.S. have of sitting with complex developments.
Many of the country’s most elite schools actually perform the worst, according to the 2024 College Free Speech Ranking by FIRE.
