The purpose of the survey is to understand the experiences, views, and characteristics of faculty at colleges and universities related to aspects of academic freedom, freedom of expression, and civil discourse. We will also add a horizon scanning component, using an established method to bring together diverse communities of practice to identify, sort and prioritise information on existing gaps in research, policy and practice. By providing rigorous data on faculty attitudes, perceptions of institutional pressure, and experiences with self-censorship, the survey will inform conversations and lead to a better understanding of where common ground can be found in supporting academic freedom.
