Well, how about that result?

A majority of students who attended a debate on free speech at Yale University Tuesday left convinced that First Amendment rights are threatened on college campuses, especially their own.

According to a survey conducted after the debate, 66 percent of audience members agreed with the motion that free speech is threatened on college campuses. A separate survey conducted before the debate showed that only 49 percent agreed with the motion, meaning 17 percent of students who were surveyed changed their minds on the issue during the debate.
