In a speech on freedom in education at the Independent Women’s Forum on Wednesday, U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos said that “200 ... colleges and universities ... have teams of speech bullies with the power to punish perpetrators of hurt feelings.”
DeVos decried what she described as the overreach of the previous administration on Title IX, and the extraordinary expansion of the definition of ‘harassment’ at many American universities to such an extent that students and faculty regularly face investigation and punishment “for only speaking their minds or teaching their classes.”
