University of Oregon Professors Could Be Fired If They Offend Students

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 Oregon’s new policy:

• Sharp criticism of Islam.
• Claims that homosexuality is immoral.
• Claims that there are biological differences in aptitude and temperament, on average, between men and women.
• Rejection of the view that gender identity can be defined by self-perception, as opposed to biology.

You nasty offensive Freepers are not welcome at the University of Oregon!

[null and void]

The very definition of the inmates taking over the asylum!

[rjsimmon]

Won’t this be an interesting turn of an unfriendly card come finals week...

But wait I thought offensive language was protected under First Amendment and “academic freedom”??

See “white genocide” et al statements. I mean come on Orrygon . . . Come one come all

[usurper]

they would be disciplined if they offended students on the subjects of race, gender, sexuality, or religion.

LOL this could really backfire on them since half their "studies" involve degrading white people, Christians and Jews. They can't open their mouths without violating the policy.

Just when you thought that a college education couldn't be MORE de-valued.....

That being said, it might be funny to watch the liberals eat their own. Faculty+Staff created the monster, this policy will unleash it.

[GuavaCheesePuff]

These colleges are now a bunch of stinkin indoctrination centers for crying out loud.

[P-Marlowe]

You can’t teach anything without offending someone.

Oregon just banned education.

[The people have spoken]

Calling for white genocide is OK. Offending Christians is OK. The distinction is that the offended person must belong to a class of people that deserves protection.

Liberals claim they are open to other opinions then are mortified and offended that there are other opinions.

Liberals are the most unfriendly, greedy, fascist, hate-filled, mean-spirited, envious, resentful, vicious, close-minded, violent, murdering, child-abusing, amoral, stupid, censoring, horse-punching, book-burning, ignorant, uneducated, unskilled, childish, prejudiced, racist, women-hating, man-hating, perverted, thieving, destructive, American-hating, Christian-hating, muslim-loving, jew-hating, Israel-hating, communist, vote-rigging, vulgar, dirty, smelly, election-rejecting, regressive, restrictive, prohibitive, bed-wetting, poo-flinging, cop-killing, and scared little lying thumb-sucking idiots God has ever created.

If a resume of a graduate of this university is submitted to you, throw it in the trash. These weaklings can’t make it in the real world.

[PGR88]

The regulations will be ignored once the first conservative student complains.

[Wiser now]

Just wait until profs and instructors find themselves subject to the whims of a nineteen year old with PMS who just broke up with her boyfriend.
I can’t think of a better way to kill PC than watching the profs revolt against the little brats they created.

[King Moonracer]

Ultimately, they are trying to keep whites out of college, so they can appropriate all white collar jobs.

[catnipman]

Wait! What? Tenure protects teachers ONLY when they insult and offend the U.S., our flag, and conservatives but not otherwise?

[Wiser now]

God didn’t create them. Their leftist parents did.

It would be interesting to see a university take on the American Association of University Professors (AAUP), more or less a universal union for college teachers. I think the university would need to think twice about this stance, since they barely can fire a prof for not showing up to teach classes.
