A report put out by Heterodox Academy ranks America’s top 150 universities based on their commitment to viewpoint diversity, placing once-prestigious institutions like Mizzou at the bottom of the list.
The new report ranks the nation’s top schools according to their policies on free speech, using metrics such as the “ Spotlight on Speech Codes” ratings maintained by the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), as well as a school’s respective adherence to the University of Chicago’s principles of free expression.
"The academic world must have viewpoint diversity if it is to function properly."
Additionally, Heterodox Academy surveyed all “relevant events since 2014” to determine whether or not such events “indicate a commitment by faculty, administration, and/or students to protect or restrict free inquiry.”
