Several influential figures, including Steven Pinker and Bill Ackman, have praised a five-point plan proposed by Steven Pinker to reform universities like Harvard and restore free speech and open inquiry. Ackman mentioned working with others to accelerate necessary change, emphasizing the need to go beyond replacing President Gay. The plan has garnered support for its potential to address ideological censorship and uphold nonpartisan values. Ethan Bueno de Mesquita's essay on universities' policy on free speech has also received acclaim for its nuanced analysis and defense of liberal values.
This article is the best commentary I have read concerning the current controversies on campus speech-a wise, humane, and compelling defense of liberal values. Thank you @ethanBdM. https://t.co/KdtdCqWHrF
Excellent essay by @ethanbdm Contains a nuanced analysis of the recent congressional hearings but more importantly clearly spells out the path forward for universities on free speech and its justification https://t.co/YMazjppgWA
This is a stark counterfactual for how one makes a principled defence of free speech on campus. Bravo, @ethanbdm. https://t.co/52kaH7kS1r
My Chicago colleague @ethanbdm wrote an insightful, beautiful, and smart essay on what should be the universities' policy on free speech: https://t.co/fyFlGvFpgG. Ethan makes all the points that I would want to make on the subject, and some more. I so much hope these thoughts…

This is a great article regarding how to fix American universities, and put an end to the ideological censorship (and often hypocrisy) which increasingly plague them. And it’s written from a fair, nonpartisan point of view. https://t.co/0ylCbG9rmy
This is a superb plan for fixing higher-ed. The only thing missing is explicit abolition of DEI m—though if all items are implemented, DEI offices will be neutered bc everything they do violates the core mission of higher ed. Cf. @sapinker’s 5-point plan. https://t.co/5qnp5NKGm8 https://t.co/FIWboXjFoL
This is a superb platform for fixing @Harvard (and other universities that have lost their way) and restoring it to excellence. I am working with some others on how we can accelerate necessary change at Harvard et al. It goes far beyond replacing President Gay. I will have… https://t.co/WpoY43spjT

A terrific five-point plan from @sapinker on how Harvard, and other universities, can return to their roots as bastions of free speech and open inquiry. https://t.co/HZdudmiaNr
