Times Higher Education’s academic freedom survey

Should academics be allowed to make any lawful statement without censure by their institutions? Has your freedom of speech as an academic ever been restricted for reasons other than legal ones? Is academic freedom of speech more restricted than it was 10 years ago? Help us find the answers to this and many more question in our survey

The balance between academic freedom and the avoidance of offence and harm has been a subject of intense debate in recent years. However, the debate is often dominated by the loudest voices.

To help us explore where the majority of academic opinion falls on these issues, Times Higher Education is conducting a major survey of academics, the results of which will be published later in the year. If you are an academic or university manager/administrator from anywhere in the world, please have your say.
