Episode 35: Jeff Jones & David Askenazi, Free Expression at U.S. Universities
Show Notes
Do college students think that freedom of speech is important? Do they think their campus climate supports free expression? And do they believe First Amendment freedoms are secure in today’s America? To answer these questions, the Knight Foundation and Gallup conducted two surveys of college students in America. The surveys were conducted in 2016 and 2017, so they also reveal which attitudes changed between these consecutive years. Heterodox Academy is now hosting this dataset. This episode features David Askenazi of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, and Jeff Jones of Gallup, who explain the survey results.
