Do you feel hindered from sharing your opinions honestly on campus? Do you sense the disapproval of others for raising controversial topics? Is there a general belief on your campus that if expression offends or disturbs people, it should be silenced?
Although recent events and a “politically-correct” culture often mar the freedom of expression on campus, if you answered “yes” to any of the above questions, then it may be helpful to understand the purpose of the university: to be a forum for expression, dialogue and debate.
