Despite being considered one of the most prestigious academic institutions in the world, Harvard University has been ranked as the worst school in the country for free speech, according to a new survey, which described students’ First Amendment rights at the Ivy League school as “abysmal.”
The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE)—a nonprofit organization that focuses on civil liberties in the education sector—released its annual report on Sept. 6. The rankings are based on the voices of over 55,000 students currently enrolled in more than 250 colleges and universities across the United States.
