Last week, administrators at the University of Oregon made it clear to professors that they would be disciplined if they offended students on the subjects of race, gender, sexuality, or religion.
This is a concerning new development considering that this new warning from administrators suggests that professors can be disciplined based upon what students subjectively choose to find offensive. Discipline for remarks made by professors is not limited to bigoted remarks or deliberate racism, but rather any incident that a student may find offensive.

According to Eugene Volokh of The Washington Post, the following acts of expression could be considered harassment under the University of Oregons new policy:

Oregon is effed up bad. It seems the idiots up there are trying to compete with SF, CA.
yeah but so doesn’t crowder lol-
Universities suck and deserve to implode.
Or a cancer that has fully metastasized
Welcome to the University of Oregon where you have the right to not be offended.
I think we should all enroll in the most rabid leftist prof class and get our feelings hurt.. just to see if they mean all feelings matter. Shall it be a women’s studies class, a white genocide class?
Academic freedom and tenure now distant memories. These fools brought down their own demise. This will be the final nail in the coffin of higher education. It will go the way of public education and all by self-immolation, the damned fools.
“Colleges and universities have become ZERO TOLERANCE ZONES. Its time to starting shutting down those sewers of indoctrination and programming.”
The easiest way is to cut off government money to them! Bot directly and indirectly through a cut-off of student loans to those whose policies don’t square with the Constitution.
If I am understanding this correctly - only certain groups can claim they are offended??
So it is open season on Christians of any stripe and on Israel and Jews in general?
It is OK to offend the military and police officers?
Conservatives can be offended without any recourse?
"T'will be interesting!" - Marquis de Sade
my thought exactly
U OF O - snowflake safe space.
Woo hoo! Time to hoist them by their own petard and start getting offended every time some leftist prof starts spouting some socialist bullshit.
Chickens... are comin’ home... to roost!
It is so odd that all these subjects are such a problem in universities today.
I have a BS degree from Florida State and an MBA from George Washington University and I NEVER had a professor discuss any of these topics....ever. Why don’t professors just teach. Why even discuss race, religion, sex, sexual orientation or anything other then the subjects they are paid to teach. Very strange. Professors are certainly the problem for letting themselves get caught up with identity politics.
Translation.. Anyone that tells the truth.
The truth is a scary thing to those that are truly evil.
