Are College Campuses Eroding Free Speech?

College campuses and university classrooms are where the marketplace of ideas and discovery learning happen, with freedom of speech and expression the bedrock of higher education.

But a potent contemporary mix of challenges and competing concerns factor, not least: safety, diversity, perception, social media and hyper partisan politics. How the First Amendment is faring and its future in this volatile environment is not merely an academic question.
