Brown University is under fire for considering disciplinary action against sophomore Alex Shieh for his journalistic inquiry into the roles of its administrative staff. Shieh, seeking transparency about the responsibilities of the 3,805 non-faculty workers at the university, was met with hostility and minimal response from the administration, which discouraged participation. Critics argue that this move reflects an attempt by the university to protect its excessive administrative structure and limit student investigation into its operations. Despite the pushback, Shieh is determined to expand his inquiry across the Ivy League and has gained support from political figures advocating for accountability and free speech.
