MIT faculty ‘increasingly afraid to express their views,’ survey finds

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology continues to support a campus community that stymies academic freedom and free speech, a newly released Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression survey report states.

“Large portions of MIT faculty and students are afraid to express their views in various academic settings. Faculty and students are at least as afraid of each other as they are of the administration,” Komi Frey, the author of the FIRE report, told The College Fix via email.

The report, released Jan. 19, found that self-censorship and coerced speech remains a pressing concern among faculty and students.
