A new survey of professors found widespread support for the free exchange of ideas on campus.

Samuel J. Abrams, a Sarah Lawrence College professor and visiting fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, polled about 900 faculty members from December 2016 to January 2017. Ninety-three percent agreed with the statement, “University life requires that people with diverse viewpoints and perspectives encounter each other in an environment where they feel free to speak up and challenge each other,” according to Abrams’ write-up of the survey in the American Interest.
