Can the international community defend education and foster civil discussion? Across college campuses worldwide, free speech is under increasing strain. In the United States, President Donald Trump has frozen federal funds for universities over their diversity initiatives, among other complaints. In Hungary, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán compelled Central European University to relocate to Austria and placed many universities under the control of his allies. In India, supporters of the right-wing governing party have been installed as administrators at Jawaharlal Nehru University, a historically liberal campus. Meanwhile, students have disrupted events by shouting down speakers they oppose, and protests over the Israel–Hamas war have at times escalated into unrest. Are universities losing the battle for free speech? As leading institutions of research and inquiry, how should they protect free expression, maintain order, and not give in to political pressure? Can the international community defend education and foster civil discussion around issues that provoke deep disagreements?
