Higher Education at a Crossroads
Public confidence in universities is declining – and that concern deserves attention.
But as Academy President and CEO Nicholas Dirks writes in a new TIME op-ed with Jonathan M. Metzl, proposals to enforce political oversight of campus speech risk silencing the very inquiry and debate that drive scientific progress.
The piece outlines a path forward: one that strengthens academic freedom, expands access, and re-engages universities with the broader public.
