Episode Synopsis

Stephen LeDrew sits down with Mark Milke, president of the Aristotle Foundation, for a candid discussion on free speech in Canadian universities. Drawing on a survey of 34 universities and 750 students, Mark explains how even self-described moderates feel constrained on campus, fearful of being canceled for expressing dissenting views. He explores how over-sensitivity, unclear boundaries, and dogmatic professors have created an environment where free expression is often stifled. Mark also offers insight into how universities can reclaim true freedom of inquiry while balancing respect and safety. A concise, thought-provoking look at the challenges and potential solutions for campus debate today. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
