Description
Academic Freedom on Life Support examines how universities across the United States are narrowing the boundaries of acceptable speech and punishing dissent, creating a climate of fear for faculty and students. Through reporting, interviews, and analysis, ScheerPost exposes the political, financial, and cultural forces driving this crisis. When open inquiry collapses, the democratic mission of higher education is put at risk — and this show documents that unraveling in real time.
