House Republicans sounded the alarm in a report on dangers of infringement on campus free speech, arguing it is not only unconstitutional but morally wrong.
The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression ranked Harvard last for free speech on campus, but students say it is a safe place to express opinions.Thursday unveiled what they described as"alarming" findings regarding the state of free speech at America's higher education institutions.
Over 60% of students believe the political and social climate on their campus prevents people from freely expressing their opinions, an increase of almost 10% in the past two years, according to a March 2022in the report. In addition, 88% of students believe their college should foster environments where students and professors can have respectful dialogue with people whose views differ from their own.
"The overly broad understanding of what qualifies as an incident worthy of investigation ultimately turns these teams into censor squads for anyone who has offended anyone else," the report states. "Supreme Court has held that varying the amount of security fees because of the anticipated hostility to speech is unconstitutional," according to the report."A student or student group who is being asked to pay a security fee to host a speaker cannot receive a drastically different security fee assessment than another student or student group on the basis that their event might draw protest.
