The survey examined free speech issues on campuses and found that the trend has worsened in recent years. Researchers recommend that universities be held accountable for how students perceive their ability to express themselves.

More than 200 businesses have signed up for the program, which aims to bolster domestic production and reduce reliance on volatile overseas markets.
