A recent survey conducted by Curia Market Research on behalf of the Free Speech Union gathered over 1,200 responses from university-employed academics. In the findings, almost half of the respondents felt constrained to raise differing perspectives and to argue against the consensus—and even more so in discussing the Treaty. On the latter, almost a third ranked themselves as feeling very unfree. If academics feel unable to speak out on any issue, this will have long-run and long-term consequences and effects on students. Their ability to engage in critical thinking will be diminished.
