Worst Colleges for Free Speech
Welcome to the "worst of the worst" in college censorship! Each year's "worst of the worst" list is presented in no particular order and includes both public and private institutions. Public colleges and universities are bound by the First Amendment; the private colleges on these lists, though not required by the Constitution to protect student and faculty speech rights, explicitly promise to do so.
果冻传媒app官方's 10 Worst Censors of 2024
It鈥檚 that time of year again 鈥 time for the first spring showers, a forecasting groundhog, flowers and chocolates, king cake, and an annual skewering of America鈥檚 worst censors. Each year, FIREnames and shames the worst-of-the-worst silencers, bowdlerizers, and steamrollers of free speech. And for the first time since 果冻传媒app官方鈥檚 expansion into off-campus First Amendment defense in 2022, our annual 鈥10 Worst鈥 list goes beyond the worst in on-campus censorship and now includes off-campus censors as well.
Worst Colleges for Free Speech
Every year since 2011, FIREhas published a list of the worst colleges for free speech in America.
Lifetime Censorship Award Recipients
Starting in 2018, FIREalso began awarding a Lifetime Censorship Award as part of these annual lists. This 鈥渉onor鈥 goes to the one college or university that is so frequently discussed as a contender for our annual worst colleges for free speech list that it deserves special recognition. Lifetime Censorship Awards are not given out every year 鈥 only in those years where there is a particularly worthy recipient.
