Are there any "Safe Zones" for normal people to escape the progressive/liberal whiners on campus?- Thu Aug 25, 2016 1:23 pm

Re: No "Trigger warnings" at UChicago
You were probably too busy getting an education instead of paying attention to liberal/progressive crybabies (fellow students and faculty) and their perceived affronts.LosAlce wrote:Honestly I don't know what universities actually have a so called "safe place" policy in terms of discussing ideas. If Texas State had one while i was there I never knew it and would've never used it. This is literally the first time I've ever heard of such a thing.

Unwritten addendum: "Unless you or the speaker in question is a Repubican, a conservative or a white male, then the University will move to protect your freedom from hearing alternate ideas."jmorris wrote:One of the last places I'd expect to be a bastion of freedom. Or is my view just colored by it being in Chicago?

" Our commitment to academic freedom means that we do not support so called ‘trigger warnings,’ we do not cancel invited speakers because their topics might prove controversial, and we do not condone the creation of intellectual ‘safe spaces’ where individuals can retreat from ideas and perspectives at odds with their own.
Fostering the free exchange of ideas reinforces a related University priority—building a campus that welcomes people of all backgrounds. Diversity of opinion and background is a fundamental strength of our community. The members of our community must have the freedom to espouse and explore a wide range of ideas."
