POLL RESULTS: 50% OF STUDENTS FEEL CENSORED ON CAMPUS
The findings of the national poll follow a number of recent legal challenges to universities across the UK who have been accused of stifling free speech. The parliamentary Joint Committee on Human Rights released a report on Freedom of Speech in Universities in 2018, which not only raised concerns about speech restrictions, but the growing phenomenon of “no-platforming” – the exclusion of certain groups or speakers from participation in student discourse.
