Update. The Chronicle of Higher Education tots up "nearly $3 million" so far paid out by universities to compensate faculty wrongfully punished for criticizing Kirk. It also points to an unspecified number disciplined but so far uncompensated. https://www.chronicle.com/article/colleges-have-paid-nearly-3-million-to-employees-fired-for-comments-about-charlie-kirk (#paywalled)
