Key findings of the Audit are: • The majority of Australia's universities limit the diversity of ideas on campus: » Thirty-four of Australia's 42 universities (81 per cent) received a Red rating for policies and actions that are hostile to free speech on campus, an increase from 33 in 2016. » Seven of Australia's universities (17 per cent) received an Amber rating for policies and actions that threaten free speech on campus. » One university, the University of New England, received a Green rating for supporting free speech on campus.
