Recent analysis shows that U.S. universities are trailing behind their global peers in terms of autonomy. This trend is concerning for the overall infrastructure of academic freedom.
The report indicates that over the past decade, 50 countries have seen a decline in academic freedom, while only nine countries have made improvements in this area.
