The 2016 Jefferson Muzzle Awards

[edit]

For the first time in 25 years, the Jefferson Center expanded anti-free speech awards to 50 recipients, the 2016 award is also unique in the aspect that all of the recipients are colleges.[2][3]

Never in our 25 years of awarding the Jefferson Muzzles have we observed such an alarming concentration of anti-speech activity as we saw last year on college campuses across the country.

Conversely, the Jefferson Center commended the University of Chicago, American University, Purdue and Princeton University for issuing "broadest possible latitude" statements concerning speech policy on their campuses.[5]
