...Even among campus administrators who were surveyed, from presidents to assistant deans, 11 percent couldn't name any specific First Amendment rights, the survey indicated..."
The actual report's here (PDF). The press release.
And a report on a survey of college students, whose knowledge is as dismal's as their administration's (PDF also).
I remember being shocked at a Pew poll from not too long ago, that said most people thought that First Amendment went too far. It was in the Boston Herald. I'll have to hit Lexis Nexis for more.

While, two in ten (22%) private and 33% of public colleges report they do know which freedom is addressed first...Summary of the report here.
