"Prof Selina Todd, an Oxford University academic who previously had an invitation to a conference celebrating women withdrawn over her stance on transgender rights issues, welcomed government action although she said the free speech champion could be a "blunt instrument".
She told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that universities have "dismally failed" to uphold freedom of debate in recent years.
"Things have got a lot worse for academics and for students - many of whom get in touch with me anonymously to say how frightened they are to speak out," she said.
In December, Cambridge University said its proposed statement on free speech would no longer require staff and students to be "respectful" of differing views, following an intervention from academics who said calling for respect could undermine academic freedom."
So GC women piled on. I don't know what his intention was. Did he mean to dismiss women's concerns or is it all just a jolly jape for him?
