Ten percent of academics support outright cancelling or firing conservative professors who express their views,\u201d the outlet reported. \u201cThe study adds a new dimension to recent stories of harassment and intimidation of conservative voices in academia. Conservatives have long been a minority in American universities, but only recently has so-called cancel culture led to a rise in what Kaufmann calls the \u2018chilling\u2019 effect of self-censorship.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kaufman told the Free Beacon that \u201cthe discriminatory impact is huge,\u201d for conservatives in academia, and that even without \u201cpunishment mechanisms,\u201d the blatant opposition to conservative beliefs creates \u201cpowerful conformist pressures that make people keep their mouths shut.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The study found that the pressure to conform worked, with 70% of conservative academics reporting they faced a hostile work environment within their departments, and 90% of those who supported former President Donald Trump said they were wary to discuss their beliefs with colleagues.<\/p>\n<p>A majority of conservative academics also reported that they self-censored what they taught and researched, the Free Beacon reported.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKaufmann told the\u00a0<em>Free Beacon<\/em>\u00a0that the trend is likely to get worse. Twenty percent of academics under 30 support \u2018dismissing\u2019 peers deemed controversial, Kaufmann said. Thirty percent of doctoral students say they would discriminate against grant bids from right-leaning researchers or decline to promote a conservative peer,\u201d the outlet reported. \u201cSuch discrimination is not limited to universities, Kaufmann observed. \u2018It\u2019s become quite pervasive across the U.S., Britain, and Canada. There is now a certain level of discrimination on the basis of ideology and politics.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The study confirms what many already know, having followed anecdotal evidence supporting Kaufmann\u2019s conclusions for years. As The Daily Wire has previously reported, a professor in Florida faced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/florida-college-professor-will-be-fired-after-inquisition-stemming-from-controversial-tweets\">an inquisition<\/a> after he tweeted \u201cblack privilege is real\u201d following the riots that resulted from the police-involved death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota. At Cornell University, students <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/cornell-students-now-boycotting-course-taught-by-law-professor-critical-of-black-lives-matter-tactics\">boycotted<\/a> a class taught by a law professor critical of Black Lives matter tactics.<\/p>\n<p>The list goes on, and is not exclusive to professors or graduate students. Undergraduate students routinely face discrimination for challenging liberal orthodoxy, as evidence by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/student-suspended-from-education-program-for-saying-a-man-is-a-man?%3Futm_source=twitter&#038;utm_medium=social&#038;utm_campaign=dwtwitter\">recent suspension<\/a> of a State University of New York-Geneseo student who published videos of himself espousing conservative beliefs.
