Most students think UK universities protect free speech, survey finds

King's College London finds 65% believe campuses places of robust debate' - but growing number disagrees

Most UK students say their universities are places of free speech and debate - although a growing number are aware of free speech being restricted on campus, a study published by King's College London has found.

The analysis, by KCL's Policy Institute, found that 65% of students agreed that free speech and robust debate are well protected in my university", a higher proportion than the 63% who felt that way in a survey three years ago.
