Harvard professor says Trump administration is infringing on free speech on college campuses

Anxiety on college campuses is high right now.

Federal officials have detained pro-Palestinian activists connected to Columbia University, and a Tufts doctoral student.

Groups of faculty, including the The American Association of University Professors (AAUP), at multiple universities are suing the Trump administration. They allege the government's policies have led to a "climate of fear and repression."

Vincent Brown, a professor of history and African American studies at Harvard and an executive member of the AAUP, joins WBUR's All Things Considered to talk about the lawsuit.
