Abstract

From Berkeley to Middlebury, as well as a few places in between, higher education has recently experienced a rash of speech disruptions and disinvitations. While these events generate widespread media attention, they do not actually occur that frequently. What is far more typical is avoidance of campus-sponsored occasions where controversial public policies are debated.
