A premier institution dedicated to advancing academic freedom is reportedly working to limit free speech on college campuses.
In February 2024, the American Association of University Professors (AAUP), which sets professional standards in higher education, launched the Center for the Defense of Academic Freedom (CDAF). The center, according to its mission statement, is "committed to preserving and expanding conditions that make it possible to work, teach, learn, create, and share knowledge in ways that promote the common good."
