“The freshman class came to campus in the middle of serious debate, on campus and nationally, about free speech and resoundingly decided that free speech was the right way forward.”
Freshmen at Yale University voiced strong support for free speech compared to their older peers in a new poll, giving rise to hopes for the future of the Ivy League campus.
“While it is too soon to eulogize censorship and DEI on campus, this indicates that the momentum is on the side of open expression,” she said. Freshmen also were the most likely to strongly oppose shouting down speakers and support disciplining those who disrupt speeches. What’s more, 94 percent of freshmen said the campus should allow controversial speakers.
Additionally, the percentage of students who said they often self-censor dropped from 44 percent to 39 percent.
