I was wrong about that speaker with the tiny megaphone at the quad

I used to think the guy shouting about campus free speech with a bullhorn was just a clown trying to get attention. Then I sat through his full 20 minute rant last Tuesday and he actually cited a specific study about protest zones being cut down by 40% at public universities since 2021. Has anyone else changed their mind after actually listening to one of those fringe speakers?

Does that study adjust for total campus enrollment changes?

Does @the_uma's study break it down per student or just raw numbers? I used to think big numbers proved everything, but seeing the per-student rates in that research changed my mind completely.
