The report from PEN America finds state laws, federal investigations, and executive orders from President Trump have silenced students, professors, and college presidents.

PEN America's Amy Reid says the Trump administration has weaponized government power to coerce colleges into meeting its ideological demands.

The report also finds that more than half of U.S.

college students now study in a state with at least one law or policy restricting what can be taught or how campuses can operate.
