A climate survey sent to students and employees of Pennsylvania’s State System of Higher Education concluded that few students and faculty feel comfortable expressing their political views on campus.
The survey came as part of the State System’s broader initiative to “strengthen diversity, equity, and inclusion for everyone in the system office and on our campuses.”
The report reveals that only 32.5% of staff members surveyed feel comfortable expressing their political views on campus, compared to 51.5% of students.
In a comment from System Chancellor Daniel Greenstein reported by The Philadelphia Inquirer, Greenstein stated the results are a “sobering reflection on the state of American society” and that there’s “work to do across the board.”
