Nearly half of all Canadian university students are actively concealing their real opinions for fear of sanction or mistreatment, according to a comprehensive new survey published Wednesday by the Aristotle Foundation for Public Policy.
Of 760 university students surveyed, 48.1 per cent expressed reluctance to reveal their opinions on a “controversial political issue.” The survey found that 27.5 per cent of students were somewhat reluctant and 20.6 per cent were very reluctant.
