调查显示,三分之一的大学教授因校园反弹恐惧而自我审查。 Survey reveals one-third of college professors are self-censoring due to campus backlash fears.

教育中的个人权利基金会(FIRE)最近的一项调查发现,许多大学教授由于担心学生、同事或行政人员的反对而感到压力要接受自我审查。 A recent survey by the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) found that many college professors feel pressured to self-censor due to concerns over backlash from students, colleagues, or administrators. 大约三分之一的教职员工减低了他们的写作, 四分之一的教职员工觉得自己无法自由说话。 About one-third of faculty have toned down their writing, and a quarter feel unable to speak freely. 尽管有这些调查结果,大学领导人并没有承认未能维护言论自由。 Despite these findings, university leaders have not admitted to failing to uphold free speech. 报告强调了校园中恐惧和自我审查的气氛,特别是在有少数政治观点的教师中。 The report highlights a climate of fear and self-censorship on campuses, especially among faculty with minority political views.
