Heavy teaching loads<\/a>,\u00a0shrinking university budgets<\/a>\u00a0and expanding\u00a0workload expectations<\/a>\u00a0have fueled stress and burnout among professors and other university employees in recent years.<\/p>\n

Now, an increasingly\u00a0polarized political climate<\/a>, as well as emerging concerns around\u00a0university funding cuts<\/a>, self-censorship and\u00a0academic freedom<\/a>, has created new pressures for university and college employees.<\/p>\n

The result is an academic profession caught in the crosscurrents of culture and politics, with implications that extend far beyond the classroom.<\/p>\n

What faculty say<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Since June 2025, I have spoken with 33 faculty members across disciplines and institutions in the U.S. about how they are managing their careers and day-to-day lives at work and home.<\/p>\n

Their accounts reveal common themes: persistent anxiety about job security, uncertainty around how to teach controversial subjects, and frustration that institutional support is often fragmented or short-lived.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re asked to make room for students\u2019 struggles, but are rarely acknowledged when we crack under the same weight,\u201d one professor told me.<\/p>\n

A\u00a02024 National Education Association survey<\/a>\u00a0found that 33% of 900 public administration faculty are \u201coften\u201d or \u201calways\u201d physically exhausted, while 38% of faculty say they are \u201coften\u201d or \u201calways\u201d\u00a0emotionally exhausted<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Another 40% of faculty from this survey say they are simply \u201cworn out<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other research<\/a>\u00a0shows that growing\u00a0workloads and constant role juggling<\/a>\u00a0are taking a toll on faculty members\u2019 well-being and ability to teach effectively.<\/p>\n

Burnout among educators<\/a>\u00a0can have ripple effects on the university and college students they teach, leading to students feeling less motivated and engaged in school.<\/p>\n

As\u00a0a scholar of education, health and behavior studies<\/a>, I know that when universities and colleges invest in supporting their faculty\u2019s mental health and well-being, they\u2019re not just helping their employees. They are protecting the quality of education that their students receive.<\/p>\n

When politics enters the classroom<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Surveys spanning 2017 through 2021 found that 6,269\u00a0faculty members have increasingly self-censored<\/a>\u00a0and avoided controversial topics or moderated their language when talking with their students and colleagues in order to\u00a0avoid backlash<\/a>\u00a0from legislators, university boards or school administrators.<\/p>\n

The result is a form\u00a0of burnout<\/a>, in which protecting one\u2019s mental health and job security can mean speaking more carefully when teaching.<\/p>\n

A January 2025\u00a0Inside Higher Ed survey<\/a>\u00a0published shortly before President Donald Trump\u2019s second inauguration found that over half of 8,460 surveyed U.S. professors have altered what they said or wrote, whether it was course materials or emails, to avoid expressing a possibly controversial opinion.<\/p>\n

Nearly half of surveyed professors have also withheld opinions in the classroom entirely, according to the same survey, which was conducted from December 2023 to February 2024.<\/p>\n

Scholars call this a \u201cchilling effect\u201d on academic freedom, where self-censorship becomes\u00a0part of daily decision-making<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the current political climate, faculty in many institutions continue to express reluctance to speak openly, citing concerns about professional or public repercussions. Even though comprehensive research since January 2025 is still emerging, early findings already suggest a further narrowing of what feels safe to say.<\/p>\n

One-third of faculty reported in January that they feel they have less freedom to express their views, reflecting an environment in which faculty members\u2019\u00a0voices are increasingly constrained<\/a><\/p>\n

Faculty I spoke with over the past few months described \u201cnavigating sensitive boundaries\u201d in their lectures, avoiding having any discussion about race, gender and religion. They also talked about not using terms like\u00a0diversity, equity and inclusion<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Watching what you say<\/strong><\/h4>\n

For professors on\u00a0contingent contracts<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 meaning they are not on a track to\u00a0receive tenure<\/a>, a secure work position that typically lasts a lifetime \u2013 the fear is heightened. The same is true for other faculty members like\u00a0adjunct professors<\/a>, who depend on short-term or renewable contracts.<\/p>\n

Without the protection of tenure, even a single complaint or potential controversy can jeopardize a professor\u2019s position \u2013 and recent cases of tenured professors suggest that even tenure no longer offers the same\u00a0level of security it once did<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One adjunct professor put it bluntly: \u201cWhen your next contract depends on staying in bounds, watching what you say is survival.\u201d<\/p>\n

For many instructors, the need to continually reassess how a comment, reading or assignment might be received changes the experience of teaching in subtle but meaningful ways.<\/p>\n

Faculty members I spoke with described heightened anxiety, sleepless nights and a persistent fear that a misstep could derail their careers. This psychological strain, compounded by workload and financial stress, leaves little space for creativity, innovation or joy in teaching.<\/p>\n

The downstream effects on students<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Faculty members\u2019 well-being is inseparable from how students experience college. Burnout and disengagement ripple outward, reducing students\u2019 motivation and eroding the quality of students\u2019 classroom interactions, as noted in a\u00a02025 study<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When professors self-censor, students can also lose exposure to complex or controversial perspectives that might challenge their thinking and deepen discussions.<\/p>\n

Restrictions on free expression and debate can also stifle students\u2019 intellectual curiosity, curb engagement and hinder\u00a0critical-thinking development<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Equally concerning is the long-term impact on innovation.<\/p>\n

When academic freedom is restricted or self-censored, there is a greater potential that\u00a0research questions will become more narrow<\/a>, classroom\u00a0discussions will flatten<\/a>, and students will lose exposure to the breadth of perspectives that\u00a0higher education promises<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A new kind of academic life<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Faculty mental health<\/a>\u00a0is a pressing concern\u00a0across higher education<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Expanding workloads, shifting public expectations and uncertainty around job security have created an environment of sustained strain.<\/p>\n

The professors I have spoken with say they feeling caught between professional demands and personal limits, navigating burnout, self-censorship and ongoing attention to what they teach and say.<\/p>\n

The cumulative effect is reshaping academic life, altering how faculty teach, communicate and engage with students, with a very careful eye on how others are perceiving them.<\/p>\n
