Thank you for taking the time to summarize the long essay, which is worth reading. I agree with you that a weak part, an Achilles heel I would describe it as, is that universities will not adopt the safe harbor. (insert play on words here about safe harbor being a safe space).

I think the way forward is to educate and to advocate, especially among the university undergraduates. Sometimes when I hear any person's arguments for or against some freedom of expression, I am amazed by the muddled thinking or the muddled expression of their ideas. On the other hand, it is a complex issue, so much discussion is appropriate to educate those who really would just like to take it all for granted.

I have not read of a scheme described as 'inclusive academic freedom' and Googling that term did not help me.
