[Cicero]

These cases are just the tip of the iceberg. Most faculty and students learn pretty quickly what's safe to say and what's not, so a lot of speech is "chilled," as the liberals say, before it even comes out of their mouths.

Also, probably the most basic issue of academic freedom today is the habit of quietly denying tenure, or never hiring in the first place, anybody who doesn't toe the whole liberal line. These deans and committees feel free to act as they do because the whole administration and faculty are likely to agree with them, with a few exceptions who will probably zip their lips. Most universities are growing more and more monolithically liberal every year.

Most universities are growing more and more monolithically liberal every year.

The irony being that liberalism is the facile and superficial analysis of any given problem.

You hungry? Just eat the seed corn.
You poor? Just print more money.
You sick? Just pass a law saying you have to be cured.
You scared? Just pass a law saying you have to be safe.
