Purdue University--West Lafayette has a total undergraduate enrollment of 34,920 (fall 2020), with a gender distribution of 57% male students and 43% female students.

Probably a bit of an outlier compared to most colleges.

U of Chicago is 52/48.

I see an obvious problem with this study right off the bat. Namely, the self reporting aspect.

For example, I see Oregon State is supposedly among the highest ranked. But that's just a neat trick of what happens when your student body is more monolithic in thought.

Think about it. In a school where nearly everyone thinks the same, a smaller percentage of students might report "self censoring" even if the school is actually absurdly oppressive to that smaller group.

Meanwhile, at a school less monolithic that still has a generally liberal to militant liberal faculty, you'll get more kids saying they feel the need to self censor.

Basically, this study didn't measure free speech, it measured student happiness with the environment they're in which may well be because the students belong to an overwhelming majority of speech fascists who happen to mostly agree with each other at a given school.

Most at that school are exceedingly left. Their opinions don't vary, hence the idea that they can speak most freely.

Given that Oregon and Evergreen are each within an hour and a half from it, I have a hard time believing they’re #14.

Oregon is to Oregon State as The Tea Sips are to A&M.

The left's entire platform is selling victimhood to people

AND THIS is what people mean when they say this country is not remotely the same as what they experienced growing up in it, and they’re right. It isn’t.
