Conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s assassination on a university campus has sparked intense debate around campus free speech, political violence, and faculty activism. Universities including UC Berkeley released names in government antisemitism probes, while professors targeted by Kirk’s ‘Watch List’ recount harassment and threats. Several faculty and staff have been fired following their social media remarks on Kirk’s death amid accusations of campus censorship and ideological conflict. The episode is intensifying scrutiny of university policies on civil discourse and political expression.
