Lesh, Matthew.  "Free Speech on Campus:  Audit 2017".  Institute of Public Affairs.  December, 2017.

 A long report that concludes that "Australia's universities are failing to protect free speech on campus."

Evergreen angle:  After briefly discussing cases at Middlebury and Berkeley, Lesh writes that

"Professor Bret Weinstein of Evergreen State College was confronted by 50 students in class who demanded he resign, following an email in which he rejected the demand that all white students and faculty stay away from campus for a day of 'racial awareness'.  He was subsequently advised by campus police to stay off campus due to threats to his physical safety, and resigned his position at Evergreen as it became untenable"
