Conservative faculty, students say they’re ‘silenced’ at Iowa university: survey

Faculty, students and staff reported bias against conservative views in an Iowa university’s internal survey released recently.

The University of Northern Iowa conducted the internal survey, “Assessment of Campus Climate for Learning, Living, and Working Final Report,” in the Spring 2022 semester in partnership with the higher ed consulting firm Rankin Climate.

All members of UNI — including undergraduate and graduate students, professors, and employees — “were encouraged” to participate, according to the report.
