  • The UK Cracks Down on Universities with Calvin Robinson

    Recently, the British Parliament introduced an Act called The Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Bill. This bill will impose requirements for universities and students' unions to protect freedom of speech on university campuses and face financial consequences when they violate students' free speech.
