Sources
Verification note. Percentages and methodology read from FIRE's 2024 rankings report page. The page also reports a speaker-tolerance item about a speaker who believes transgender people have a mental disorder, but the retrieved summary gave only a partial figure (16% of liberal students would allow), so that item is not recorded here.
Figures below are transcribed from these documents. Where they disagree with the source, the source governs.
