Harvard Dead Last University for Free Speech
Harvard is the national leader when it comes to universities. Where it is leading is into leftist authoritarianism, where the free inquiry that is supposed to be the point of universities is no longer possible:
The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) released its annual college free speech rankings on Wednesday, which dubbed the state of free speech at the Ivy League school “abysmal.” …
Harvard received a 0.00-point free speech ranking on a 100-point scale — a full 11 points behind the next-worst school.
That would be UPenn, also of the Ivy League.
The score is calculated based on factors including how strong the school’s policies in favor of free speech are and how many professors, students and campus speakers have been targeted by authorities for their speech.
The culture of repression goes beyond intolerant educrats and doctrinaire professors:
The rankings also take into account student sentiment about free speech based on polling FIRE conducted in partnership with research firm College Pulse.
Despite the extravagant cost, Harvard is the worst school in the country for students who value the free exchange of ideas. However, the actual purpose of Harvard is to provide credentials to aspiring members of the liberal elite.
Harvard is the premier training academy for the ruling class. Its hostility to the American principle of free speech is unacceptable. We need to look elsewhere for our leaders.
