Most Brown University conservatives fear expressing beliefs on campus: school poll
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
According to a poll conducted by Brown University’s student newspaper, only a tiny percentage of students on campus identify as conservatives, and most of those conservatives do not feel comfortable expressing their opinions in public.
The poll, conducted by the Brown Daily Herald, found that only 0.8% of students on the approximately 11,000-student campus identify as “very conservative.” Only 5.3% identify as “somewhat conservative.” While moderates make up 13.3% of the student population, students who identified as “somewhat liberal or progressive” totaled 41.1% of the student population. More than 36% described themselves as “very liberal or progressive.”
The poll’s sample size for the question about political ideology was 1,369 students.

Conductors of the poll also asked students how comfortable they were expressing their political beliefs.

Nearly 72% of “very or somewhat conservative” students are afraid to share their opinions in social settings, while only 40.2% of their “somewhat liberal or progressive” counterparts say the same. About 37% of “very liberal or progressive” students say the same.
The majority of “very or somewhat conservative” students, 57.5% in total, said they are uncomfortable sharing their political opinions in class, a stark contrast to only 21.1% of “somewhat liberal or progressive” students and 26% of “very liberal or progressive” students who feel the same.

Notably, about 70% of Brown students said it is important that their political views align with the views of their friends.
The poll also asked students about sexual orientation. When broken down by class, the results show that members of the class of 2029 identify as something other than straight at a 10.7% higher rate than students in the class of 2026. More than 44% of first-year students say they are not straight, while 33.7% of students set to graduate in the spring said the same.

Only 60.5% of students at Brown identify as straight, a vastly lower proportion than the public at large. By comparison, a Gallup poll released earlier this year found that more than 90% of Americans identify as straight.
Brown did not return a request for comment.

The customer, who was evaluated for “visible lacerations to the forehead,” was punched three times while being called racial slurs, prosecutors say.

A Boston man is facing charges after he allegedly lunged at a Burger King employee, punched a customer, and then resisted arrest at a nearby MBTA station in East Boston, authorities announced Monday afternoon.
Patrick Donovan, 59, was charged July 1 with one count of assault and battery causing injury on an over 60 or disabled person, assault and battery, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, assault, and vandalism, Suffolk District Attorney Kevin Hayden’s office said in a press release.
The charges stem from an incident shortly before 10 p.m. on June 30, when Boston police responded to a disturbance call from Burger King at 1 Maverick Square, Hayden’s office said.
A Burger King employee told officers that, after ordering his food and receiving it, Donovan yelled that he no longer wanted it and smacked a napkin holder off the counter. He then allegedly lunged at an employee and grabbed her by the arm, prosecutors said.
Donovan subsequently shoved a customer from behind and allegedly punched him in the face three times while calling him racial slurs, the DA’s office said.
Emergency medical services evaluated the customer for “visible lacerations to the forehead,” but the victim declined additional treatment, authorities said.
Donovan fled the restaurant following the assaults, and officers tracked him to the nearby MBTA Maverick Station, prosecutors said.
“While officers tried to detain Donovan inside the station, he swung at them with a closed fist but did not make contact,” Hayden’s office said, noting that Donovan made racial slurs towards the officers. “Donovan was placed into custody after a brief struggle.”
During his arraignment in the East Boston division of the Boston Municipal Court, Donovan pleaded not guilty and was released on personal recognizance. Court records show he was also ordered to stay away from Maverick Square and Burger King.
He is scheduled to return to court Aug. 7 for a pre-trial hearing, prosecutors said.
Officers obtained security footage of both assaults. Authorities said the incident remains under investigation and could result in further charges.
“Our workers deserve to be safe in their workplaces and our consumers deserve to be safe in their shopping or dining places, without exception,” Hayden said in a statement. “Beyond that, none of our citizens or first responders should be subjected to racial slurs. These appalling words have no place in Suffolk County or anywhere else in our society.”
Attorney information for Donovan was not immediately available Monday afternoon.
