osewalrusAccording to a study by Georgetown University's Free Speech Project.
1. The number of incidents that could qualify as "free speech infringements" (e.g., rescinding an invitation to speak) is extremely low. From 2016-18, there were roughly 60 incidents that could qualify. There are approximately 4,500 colleges and universities in the United States.
2. The bulk of incidents directed against conservatives involved only 3 specific speakers: Anne Coulter, Ben Shapiro, and Milo Yanopolis. As the report notes, all three have a history of actively inviting protest. Indeed, the single largest number of disinvitations involved Milo Yanopolis' "Dangerous Faggot Tour."
3. Incidents against liberal/progressive speakers were widespread and significantly under-reported.
4. An analysis of college and university disciplinary actions against faculty showed that professors were more likely to be disciplined over controversial liberal views than over controversial conservative views.
