A recent survey indicates that a majority of Harvard professors are reluctant to engage in controversial discussions due to fears of repercussions and cancel culture.
Only 18% of professors feel very comfortable broaching controversial topics in class, with over half expressing reluctance, highlighting an alarming chill on free academic discourse.
The fear of losing their jobs or being canceled leads Harvard professors to avoid discussing difficult topics, resulting in students lacking essential guidance in navigating complex issues.
The chilling effect is evident, as only 9% of faculty felt confident discussing touchy topics outside of classrooms, with many feeling pressured to remain silent.
