There are roughly 6,000 colleges in the U.S and about 2/3 of those institutions are research universities granting advanced degrees. Students at the large percentage of these schools are not preoccupied with political issues from the far left or right and go about their studies as they have for decades. A relatively small number of these schools (albeit some of the most “prestigious”) account for most of the demonstrations, incidents of suppression of unpopular political views and actual harassment. The events of the past several months are likely to be a wake up call to those small number of schools that they risk losing major public and private funding if they continue to tolerate blatant hate speech in the name of “academic freedom”.
