The University of Wisconsin System is making another attempt to survey students about free speech.
On Monday thousands of students will get an email directing them to a survey that asks how much they value free speech and whether they see problems with a lack of diverse viewpoints. They’ll also be asked whether they censor themselves and whether they’ve ever been sanctioned or punished for exercising their free speech rights.
The first attempt at a free speech survey last spring set off criticism about the possibility of politicizing results ahead of the November election, questions about the research protocol process, and worries about who was paying for the survey.
