The real campus outrage: Many professors and students are afraid to speak their minds

The real campus outrage isn’t about administrators telling pro-Palestinian protesters to stop acting like jerks.

The real campus news and outrage is that, at Harvard, professors and students are afraid to speak their minds, according to a new Harvard working-group report.
